Real Sociedad will look to bounce back from their disappointing 1-0 defeat to Athletic Club when they host Real Betis in a crucial La Liga clash at the Anoeta Stadium. After a solid 2-0 win over Ajax in the Europa League, La Real will be hoping that their domestic form improves as they face a Betis side that has shown inconsistency this season. With both teams striving for a top-half finish, this encounter could be pivotal in shaping their league campaigns.
Real Sociedad’s start to the season has been underwhelming, with tensions reportedly rising within the leadership group following their 1-0 loss to Athletic Club. While captain Mikel Oyarzábal has disputed claims of an attitude problem, the team's inability to string together consistent results has raised questions about their tactical approach. Despite this, they managed a solid 2-0 win against Ajax in midweek, suggesting that they can still perform at a high level.
Domestically, Sociedad have shown resilience, with a balanced record of four wins, two draws, and two losses in their last eight La Liga matches. However, their form at home has been worrying, with three losses from three games as favourites this season. Their most recent win at home came against Barcelona (1-0), but they will need to avoid complacency and ensure they handle the pressure of expectations in front of their own fans. The team’s defensive solidity, combined with the attacking threat of Oyarzábal and Takefusa Kubo, will be key to getting back to winning ways.
Real Betis have mirrored Sociedad’s season in many ways, with impressive victories over top-six clubs, including a 1-0 win over Atlético Madrid and a 2-1 triumph at Osasuna. However, they have struggled to maintain that level of consistency, with losses to lower-ranked sides undermining their progress. Their recent form has been erratic, but Betis will still be confident that they can upset Sociedad, particularly after defeating Atlético Madrid in their previous home outing.
One of Betis' key challenges this season has been their dreadful away record against Sociedad, having won just once in their last 15 La Liga meetings at Anoeta (D8, L6). Furthermore, they’ve failed to secure a win in their last five visits to the Basque Country (D4, L1). Their attacking threat, spearheaded by the likes of Juanmi and Sheraldo Becker, will be crucial if they are to break their poor away form. Betis need to find consistency on the road, as their failure to win away at clubs below them in the standings (including Alavés, Las Palmas, and Valencia) suggests vulnerabilities that Sociedad will look to exploit.
This match is expected to be a hard-fought contest, with both teams looking to improve on their recent inconsistent performances. Sociedad will be determined to get back to winning ways at home after struggling with pressure in previous matches. Their solid defensive record, combined with a potent attack, will give them confidence heading into the match. However, Betis’ ability to shock top teams means they can’t be underestimated, and their counter-attacking play could trouble Sociedad, particularly given the hosts’ recent struggles in handling high-pressure situations.
Our experts believe this will be a tightly contested match with few goals. Both sides have shown defensive strengths, and Sociedad’s tendency to keep clean sheets, especially at home, makes them the slight favourites for this encounter. Betis will need to be more efficient on the road if they are to end their winless run in the Basque Country.

We predict a 1-0 win for Real Sociedad in this match. Sociedad’s solid home form and defensive stability should give them the edge, while Betis’ poor away record against them makes it hard to see the visitors getting anything from this game. The suggested bet is Real Sociedad to win to nil, as they have kept clean sheets in many of their recent home matches, and Betis’ attacking inconsistency away from home suggests they will struggle to break down Sociedad’s defence.

Because of his studies, he moved to Madrid where he graduated in Sports Journalism. Daniel plays football on the weekends, but that does not stop him from watching all La Liga matches. He believes that the outcome of a match can be predicted if all the parameters are analyzed well, including form of the players and weather conditions. Currently he is living in Belgrade, and is in love with a Serbian girl who works as a journalist at one of the famous Sport Channels in Serbia.
