Real Betis vs Real Sociedad Match Analysis & Prediction
25/04/2023 11:00 pm
Real Betis play host to Real Sociedad at Estadio Benito Villamarin on Tuesday night, with the two teams battling for top-four finishes in La Liga.
The hosts are currently fifth in the table, six points behind fourth-placed Real Sociedad, who are in pole position to secure a place in the Champions League for next season.
Betis enter the contest off the back of a damaging 3-2 defeat at Osasuna on Saturday, which represents a third loss in their last four games in the league.
A win in this game would put Betsis firmly in the race for a top-four spot, but a defeat would allow Real Sociedad to move nine points clear of them, which is a huge gap to make up at this stage of the season.
Manuel Pellegrini’s side were also beaten 5-1 by Manchester United in the last-16 stage of the Europa League, while they have only been victorious in two of their last nine matches across all competitions.
The Green and Whites have been relatively strong on home soil this season, picking up 27 points from 15 games, but they will be facing a Real Sociedad side with the fourth-best away record, having collected 26 points from 15 matches on the road.
Real Sociedad boast 54 points from their 30 league matches this season, which has left them in fourth place, but six-placed Villarreal will have the chance to close the gap to four points when they face Sevilla on Sunday night.
The picture might have changed slightly by the time this game kicks off, but Real Sociedad will just be concentrating on their own form, and they will be looking to make it successive wins in La Liga for the first time since the middle of January.
Imanol Alguacil’s side have not actually beaten Real Betis in La Liga since October 2020, and they Green and Whites won 2-0 in the reverse fixture earlier this season.
