Betis vs Real Sociedad Betting Preview

There are still four rounds to be played in the Spanish Primera Division but deep in their hearts, Betis fans know that everything is lost. Their team has hit rock bottom and would have to offset a two point handicap to avoid relegation, which is simply impossible. By comparison, Real Sociedad has high expectations for this fixture, because a victory would consolidate their sixth place.

Betis vs Real Sociedad Betting Tips

Two months ago, Real Sociedad was in a decent position to qualify for the Champions League, but a string of unconvincing results in March ended their hopes. It is clear that they are now on the mend with a single defeat in the last five games and 8 points accumulated over that span, but they can't stop here.

Ruben Pardo is still serving a suspension for seeing a red card, but except for this absent player, the visitors are at full strength. They are not involved in another competition, so extracting the most from the rounds left is their only priority and they will act on it.

Real Sociedad will field three strikers, with Griezzman, Vela and Agirretxe scoring a combined 36 goals. They're expected to overpower Betis a team that is not only completely out of form, but also struggling with an increasingly long list of injured players.

The hosts will have to do without 8 players and their absence in the defense and midfield will be simply impossible to replace. There are not many willing to step up either and many players are already contemplating the possibility of transferring to other Primera Division teams.

Key Facts

• Betis lost 6 of the last seven games and allowed a total of 14 games over the span while scoring just three
• In the last two head-to-head games, Real Sociedad scored a total of 8 goals and conceded 4

Betis vs Real Sociedad Betting Prediction

This is arguably one of the best bets of the day, as the odds for a Real Sociedad win are surprisingly high at 2.20. They don't have any fitness concerns, are highly motivated to win and face an opponent that is completely out of form and virtually relegated to Liga Adelante. It will be a one-sided affair and punters would be wise not to miss out on the opportunity.
