On Sunday afternoon, Real Sociedad and Sevilla go head-to-head at the Reale Arena as both teams search for consistency in La Liga.
Real Sociedad form guideLa Real’s recent form in the Spanish top flight has been inconsistent, as they have won two, lost two and drawn one of their previous five games in La Liga. However, their record of five wins in their last eight league games is still a decent one.
Their recent league games have offered good entertainment value, as there have been over 2.5 goals scored in seven of their last ten outings in La Liga.
One big positive for Real Sociedad of late has been their home form in the Spanish top flight, as they have won four of their last five games at the Reale Arena. However, a last-gasp 1-0 home defeat against Barcelona ended a 15-game unbeaten run on home soil in La Liga.
Sevilla form guideThe Andalusians are winless in their last six games in the Spanish top-flight. However, they have drawn five league games in a row. A 1-1 home draw with Real Betis in the derby last time out means that both teams have scored in their previous five league games.
The mixed recent form means that Sevilla are in 13th place in the Spanish top-flight table, having collected just 12 points from as many games in La Liga.
The visitors have not travelled well in La Liga lately, as they are winless in their previous seven outings. A 1-1 draw at Celta Vigo was another low-scoring game for Sevilla, as three of their last four away games in the league have produced under 2.5 goals.
What am I backing?Real Sociedad may have been inconsistent of late, but La Real tends to be strong on home soil, while Sevilla doesn’t travel well. The bet I am backing is the home win.
