Real Sociedad vs Betis Prediction & Betting tips
The meeting between Real Sociedad and Real Betis on Saturday evening at the Anoeta promises to be one for the gourmets. Until recently, the home club was one of the great trendsetters of LaLiga, but has been completely out of shape in recent weeks. Real Betis is on the rise after a difficult period, and will confidently travel to the Spanish Basque Country.
Real Sociedad:
Real Sociedad took the lead in LaLiga for quite some time at the start of the season, but the form of the club from San Sebastian has cooled down considerably in recent weeks. La Real only managed to win one of its last nine league matches, and has now dropped to sixth place. The blue and white are therefore yearning for a victory, to stop their free fall in the ranking.
Real Sociedad refueled with confidence last Wednesday by winning 0-2 in the Copa del Rey at third division Cordoba, but that certainly does not make the problems of trainer Imanol Alguacil over. Star player David Silva is still injured, and attack leader Willian Jose seems to be making his way to Wolverhampton Wanderers in England. Alguacil, however, does not want to know about the upcoming departure of the Brazilian striker, who was twice accurate against Cordoba: ‘I am counting on him next Saturday. The fact that he didn’t cheer for his goals today doesn’t mean anything to me, I think it was more out of respect for Cordoba. ‘
Real Betis:
Midway through the season, Real Betis has four points less than Real Sociedad, but the Andalusians have been on the rise in recent weeks. The green and white are still unbeaten in 2021, and even managed to win their last four games in all competitions. “We are on the right track,” said coach Manuel Pellegrini after the midweek 2-1 victory over Celta de Vigo.
Thanks to this revival, Real Betis is back in the battle for European football. Especially in the midfield and in the forefront, the team, including Sergio Canales, Loren Moron and Nabil Fekir, has a lot of quality. In the rear, however, with Marc Bartra and Claudio Bravo they probably have to miss some important players, while the defensive midfielders Guido Rodriguez and William Carvalho are also not quite fit. Real Betis has already had 32 goals against this season, so it looks like their defensive troubles won’t be over any time soon.
