Real Sociedad, Recent FormThe last league instalment for Real Sociedad produced a stunning 3-0 away win over Villarreal. In that game they had 49% possession and managed 16 attempts on goal, with 5 on target, compared to Villarreal who had 20 attempts and 4 on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 11 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 6 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
They have had an excellent run of form at Reale Arena recently, winning 5 out of their last 6 home games.
Mikel Oyarzabal will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Real Sociedad.
Real Betis, Recent FormReal Betis will not be too disappointed to take a point from their 1-1 result against Real Madrid last time out. They came away from that fixture with a 37% share of the possession and clocked up 14 attempts on goal with 6 on target, in comparison to Real Madrid, who managed 12 attempts on goal, 2 of which were on target.
Manager Manuel Pellegrini will be pleased with his team's performances recently, having only conceded 3 in their last 6 games, while still managing to score a respectable 7 goals. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they've failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of their last 6 games on the road.
They've been not been beaten away from home in 5 league games, but with just a single point from each of their last 5 games on the road, the Los Verdiblancos travelling support will be beginning to wonder how long they'll have to wait to see their team win an away fixture again.
Willian José will be keen to add his name to the scoresheet and build on his current scoring record of 3 goals in the last 6 league games for Real Betis.
The last time these two sides met, it wasn't one to remember, finishing without a goal and both sides taking just a point for their efforts.
Los Verdiblancos will be looking to extend their current run of 4 clean sheets against Sociedad. Txuri-Urdin have struggled to break down the Real Betis defence in their past encounters having only managed to find the back of the net 2 times in their last 5 meetings. Playing at home, Sociedad have conceded at least one goal in 2 of their last 3 league games against Real Betis.
Real Betis have proven they're a capable side against Sociedad in the league and are unbeaten in their last 5 league encounters.
Sociedad manager Imanol Alguacil has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Ander Barrenetxea (Ankle), Mohamed-Ali Cho (Muscle) and Mikel Oyarzabal (Personal reasons) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Manuel Pellegrini has a number of injury concerns in his Real Betis squad to contend with: Marc Bartra (Achilles tendon), Claudio Bravo (Hamstring), William Carvalho (Hamstring), Nabil Fekir (Muscle), Guido Rodríguez (Ankle) and Youssouf Sabaly (Knee)
