Latest Real Sociedad vs Real Betis football review

Real Sociedad are performing below expectations in La Liga this season, with a record of 5 wins, 3 draws and 6 losses after 14 matches, helping them to have 18 points and only rank 10th in the rankings.

Imanol Alguacil's men were beaten 1-0 by Athletic Bilbao in the Basque derby last weekend, but they have won three of their last four games in all competitions, including a 2-0 win over Ajax in the Europa League on Thursday night.

Ander Barrenetxea and Takefusa Kubo were on target in a crucial win for Real Sociedad, which leaves them 16th in the Europa League table, three points off the places that qualify automatically.

Despite this, La Real's attack has struggled this season, scoring just 11 goals in 14 La Liga games, but they have shown solidity in defence, conceding just 11 goals, a defensive record second only to Real Madrid.

Alguacil's side have struggled at home this season, picking up just seven points from seven La Liga games, while Real Betis have also won just one of their seven away games in the Spanish top flight this season.

Real Betis will come into this game following a 1-2 defeat to Mlada Boleslav in the Conference League, leaving them in 22nd place in the overall standings, with just one win in the competition this season.

Manuel Pellegrini's side also lost 4-2 to Valencia in La Liga last weekend, and are now on a three-game winless run in the league, with their last victory coming against Atletico Madrid at the end of October.

Pellegrini and his students are currently ranked 9th in La Liga, with a record of 5 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses, in which they scored and conceded 16 goals each after 14 matches.

Real Betis are actually just three points behind fifth-placed Athletic Bilbao, so the tables could turn quickly, and the Sevilla side will be hoping to be in the race for European qualification come the end of the season.

The Green and Whites have failed to win in their last three La Liga meetings with Real Sociedad, but the corresponding fixture in the 2023-24 campaign at Anoeta ended in a goalless draw.
