La Liga August 22 Preview: Real Betis vs Real Sociedad | Prediction and Score Tip

Real Betis vs Real Sociedad

Real Betis host Real Sociedad in what looks like one of the more evenly matched fixtures of the La Liga weekend.

Betis have the advantage of playing at home and should look to take greater control of possession. However, Manuel Pellegrini's side have a few injury concerns, with Diego Conde and Aitor Ruibal among those unavailable, while other players have also faced fitness issues ahead of the match.

Real Sociedad, meanwhile, have enough quality in midfield to make this a difficult contest. The visitors are likely to remain compact and look to exploit spaces whenever Betis push forward.

Recent meetings also suggest that there may not be much separating the two sides. Their previous La Liga encounter ended 2-2, making another competitive match a realistic possibility.

Betis' home advantage gives them a slight edge, but a draw cannot be ruled out.

Match Prediction: Real Betis to win or draw

Goals Outlook: 2–3 goals

Score Tips: 2-1 or 1-1
