Real Sociedad will host Real Betis at the Real Arena in what is expected to be a crucial and interesting fixture in La Liga this weekend.
Both sides have made strong starts to the La Liga campaign this season, and both will expect to be in the top four mix at the end of the campaign. The two sit just one place and two points apart in the league standings with Sociedad sitting fourth on 22 points, while Betis sit fifth on 20 points.
Both sides are coming off league defeats with the hosts suffering a 1-0 defeat at Valladolid, while the visitors went down 2-1 to Atletico Madrid at home. They however both bounced back in the Europa League with Sociedad dispatching Omonia 2-0 at away, while Betis edged Ludogorets 1-0 at away.
Therefore both will be hoping to build on their European endeavors as they hope to get their La Liga campaigns back on track. The two sides are evenly matched at the moment and there is not much to choose between them in terms of quality. A share of the spoils should be considered here.
