Team News

Real Betis
Real Sociedad
  • William Carvalho and Hector Bellerin remain out injured, but Aitor Ruibal and Pablo Fornals may be able to return to action. The duo are doubtful for this one, but there's a chance they could be involved.
  • Romain Perraud will miss out as he begins his suspension. The Betis left-back was awarded his fifth yellow card of the season last time out.
  • Ricardo Rodriguez is likely to come in and replace Perraud at left-back.
  • Hamari Traore could be available after a long-term injury, but he's still yet to return to a matchday squad for La Real.
  • Ander Barrenetxea is also a doubt for Real Sociedad, while Jon Pachecho has been ruled out. The defender was substituted at half-time against FC Midtjylland in the Europa League during the week.
  • Although Takefusa Kubo should be fit enough to make the squad, he may not start after suffering a blow on Thursday.

Prediction

  • Real Betis have won just once in their previous five La Liga fixtures. Manuel Pellergini's side have suffered defeats against 20th-place Real Valladodid and Deportivo Alaves, who currently sit in 19th. A win could see them climb from 11th to seventh, overtaking La Real.
  • Real Sociedad secured a 2-1 victory over Espanyol thanks to a late goal from Brais Mendez last time out, ending a run of three La Liga defeats on the bounce. Both sides played in European competitions earlier in the week, which will have likely had an impact on their preparations for this game.
  • The last time the two sides met, La Real secured a 2-0 victory over Real Betis, with Diego Llorente scoring an own goal and Mikel Oyarzabal striking from the penalty spot.
