The Matchday 10 clash in La Liga between Real Sociedad and Sevilla will take place on October 24 at the Anoeta Stadium in San Sebastian. Real Sociedad vs. Sevilla: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Real Sociedad
The club remains in a prolonged crisis. Last weekend, Real Sociedad barely managed to snatch a draw in an away game against Celta, who played an entire half with ten men. If not for a saving goal in the 89th minute, the Basque side could have suffered their sixth defeat in the last seven league matches. Despite earning a point, their standings remain precarious. Sergio Francisco's squad is still in the relegation zone, although they have moved up from 19th to 18th place. Meanwhile, Oviedo and Girona are only behind due to goal difference.
- Real Sociedad has conceded in 12 of their last 13 La Liga matches.
- The team has not scored more than one goal in 6 of their last 8 home games in La Liga.
- The Basque side has won with a handicap of (+1.5) in 8 of their last 9 matches in this tournament.
Predicted lineup for Real Sociedad (3-4-3)
Alejandro Remiro – Aihen Munoz, Duje Caleta-Car, Igor Zubeldia – Jon Aramburu, Yangel Herrera, Jon Gorrotxategi, Sergio Gomez – Brais Mendez, Ander Barrenetxea, Mikel Oyarzabal.
Forward Orri Oskarsson will not play due to injury. Midfielder Takefusa Kubo's participation in the match is doubtful.
Sevilla
After a tough start in La Liga, the team has put together a solid six-match stretch, during which Sevilla secured four wins and collected 13 out of a possible 18 points. This allowed Matias Almeyda's side to quickly climb into the top six of the league. However, in the last round, Sevilla unexpectedly lost at home against Mallorca. This slip-up against a team in the relegation zone led to a drop to 9th place in the table. On the positive side, their competitors are also faltering, so they are only three points away from fourth place. Additionally, Sevilla has extended their scoring streak in La Liga to 10 matches.
- At least two goals have been scored in 10 of Sevilla's last 11 league matches.
- The club's uncompromising away streak in La Liga stands at 10 matches (4 wins, 6 losses).
- Both teams have scored in 5 of Sevilla's last 6 La Liga games.
Predicted lineup for Sevilla (4-2-3-1)
Odysseas Vlachodimos – Jose Carmona, Marcao, Cesar Azpilicueta, Gabriel Suazo – Batista Mendy, Lucien Agoume – Ruben Vargas, Djibril Sow, Juanlu Sanchez – Isaac Romero.
Defender Cesar Azpilicueta, midfielder Batista Mendy, and forward Alfonso Gonzalez are unavailable due to injury. Defender Tanguy Nianzou's participation is doubtful.
Match Prediction: Real Sociedad vs. Sevilla
Real Sociedad still cannot regain their former form, and after nine La Liga rounds, the club remains in the relegation zone, having won only one match since the start of the season. The problems have been ongoing for a while, as the Basque side has failed to win in 15 of their last 17 league games (5 draws, 10 losses). At home, the team shows some improvement and loses less frequently, but they have secured three points in only 2 of their last 8 home matches in La Liga.
Sevilla unexpectedly lost to Mallorca in the last round, but this defeat was only their second in the last seven La Liga matches. Notably, both losses occurred at home. Before traveling to San Sebastian, the club had won three consecutive away league games. Additionally, Sevilla has avoided defeat in 11 of their last 15 head-to-head encounters with Real Sociedad in La Liga (7 wins, 4 draws).
It is likely that the visitors will also secure at least one point this time. Prediction: Sevilla to win or draw
