Real Sociedad
- Real Sociedad have won one, drawn one and lost two of four home games in LaLiga so far, scoring four times in total.
- Sociedad, under the guidance of Sergio Francisco, could only draw away at Celta de Vigo after their 2-0 win over Osasuna at Reale Arena a week earlier.
- Francisco’s side have been tough to beat in their two previous matches, but the Real Sociedad vs Sevilla FC betting tips suggest they still haven’t managed to string together a sustained period of form since the young coach was appointed for this campaign.
Sevilla FC
- Sevilla FC have scored seven goals in four away games in LaLiga and won their last two on the road.
- Sevilla’s early-season form suggests Matias Almeyda’s proactive style could be a perfect fit for the club as his side enter Friday’s LaLiga clash with Real Sociedad in mid-table contention with 13 points from their first nine games.
- Sevilla have won three and lost two of their last five games with the most impressive performance being their 4-1 home win over Barcelona last weekend.
- According to our Real Sociedad vs Sevilla FC prediction, Almeyda has brought a verticality and flexibility to Sevilla’s play that has made them difficult to deal with, particularly on the counter attack.
Head-to-Head
- Sevilla have won two of the last three matchups with Real Sociedad in all competitions with no draws.
- The visitors grabbed a 1-0 away win in LaLiga when these sides last met seven months ago.
Key Players
- Mikel Oyarzabal remains Sociedad’s best attacking player, who has two goals in nine LaLiga games.
- Isaac Romero has been Sevilla’s most reliable striker with three goals in eight LaLiga matches while Jose Angel Carmona has provided the spark from deep with three assists in their last five.
Betting Insights
- Backing Sevilla to win here at 3.7 has a lot of appeal, but the draw at 3.25 is also attractive and Real Sociedad are a shade favorites at 2.04, so there is little to split these two teams on paper according to the latest Real Sociedad vs Sevilla FC betting tips.
- Both Teams To Score at 1.93 looks the best value given both sides like to press and create turnovers.
Prediction
- Almeyda’s men are on a roll, winning each of their last two league away fixtures and given that Sociedad have only won one of their four at Reale Arena, it is difficult to oppose Sevilla.
- Expect a closely-fought, high-octane clash with Both Teams To Score as the preferred bet.
