Real Sociedad - Betis, Picks and Tips
Real Sociedad is by far the team with the fewest home goals conceded in La Liga. They have conceded just six goals in their 15 games in front of their own fans. Their last three 'home' games have been three narrow 1-0 victories in Italian style. And each time the goals came in the second half. That's seven consecutive La Liga home games in which Sociedad have not conceded a goal. However, in all that time they have been beaten 0-4, but in a King's Cup match. By Betis themselves. Real Sociedad played in the last round away to Elche. They won 2-1, after trailing 0-1 from the 3rd minute. Isak missed the chance to equalise in the 19th minute when he failed to convert a penalty kick. However, the score would be turned around before half-time thanks to goals from Sorloth and Le Normand. In their last home game, Real Sociedad won 1-0 against Espanyol Barcelona. The only goal of the match was scored by Isak from the spot in the sixth minute of extra time. Sociedad, like Betis, represented Spain in this year's Europa League. However, they were eliminated after the group stage by German side RB Leipzig. After 2-2 away in the first leg, Sociedad lost 1-3 at home.
Betis Sevilla were among the teams representing Spain in the Europa League this season. But now it has the chance to even reach the 'rich table'. They need to finish in the top four, and there are teams like Atletico Madrid, Sevilla, Barcelona and, why not, Real Sociedad in the race. Betis made it all the way to the last 16 of the Europa League, where they were eliminated by Frankfurt in the very last minute of extra time, before it went to a penalty shootout. In their last official match, Betis Sevilla were also guests, this time at Cadiz. The Andalusians won 2-1 and got another three important points. Betis led until around the 80th minute, then scored twice through Tello, then again through Iglesias, the latter in the 85th minute from the spot. Betis has only one away defeat in its last 11 games. A "away" away at the "Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan", a 1-2 defeat against local rivals FC Sevilla. There are seven rounds left to play in La Liga and Sevilla are one point behind Atletico Madrid.
