Real Sociedad vs Betis: Spanish Championship Match Prediction
Real Sociedad will play the 15th round of La Liga at their home stadium in San Sebastian. What are the chances of the Blues in the December 1 clash against Betis? The meeting at this arena last season ended peacefully – what to expect from this duel? Our experts have assessed the teams’ chances and prepared the best bets on the game. All the answers are in this article.
Command Analysis
Real Sociedad
SpainCurrent form
Real Sociedad worst start to a La Liga season under Imanol Algasil appears to be causing tension within the front group after captain Mikel Oyarzabal rejected Algasil claim that an attitude problem was to blame for their 1-0 defeat away to Athletic Club last weekend, instead suggesting that tactical approach may have been the culprit.
However, their approach was perfect in midweek when they beat Ajax 2-0 in the Europa League. Three defeats in three home La Liga games as favourites this season suggest they have struggled to live up to the weight of expectation, so they will have to be careful that a 1-0 win at Barcelona in their last home game does not lead to complacency.
Disqualifications and injuries
Zakharyan (ankle injury), Marin (muscle injury), Aguerde (muscle injury), Turrientes (injury) and Traore (knee injury) will not be able to play today.
Interesting trends for betting
- Sheraldo Becker goals since the start of April have all come in the first half of La Liga home games, including the winner against Barcelona
- The White and Blues have lost just one of their last six games in La Liga
- San Sebastian have not lost two games in a row in eight games.
Probable line-up: Remiro – Traore, Cardona, Kubo, Lopez – Marin, Gonzalez, Mendez, Barrent – Becker.
Real Betis
SpainCurrent form
Betis have had a remarkably similar season to Real Sociedad so far, not just in terms of points but in how they have both beaten some of the league’s best sides but lost to the worst. Wins over top-six sides Osasuna (2-1 away) and Atletico Madrid (1-0 at home) looked to have taken their 2024/25 campaign to the next level, but it has immediately gone downhill. Los Verdicoblancos must overcome a horrific record of just one win in their last 15 La Liga away games against Real Sociedad, as well as a run of five winless trips to the Basque Country.
Disqualifications and injuries
Carvalho (muscle injury), Joni Cardroso (muscle injury), Isco (leg injury) and Bellerin (bruise) will not be able to play.
Interesting trends for betting
- Pablo Fornals scored his first La Liga away goal at the weekend - his last seven home La Liga goals have all come before the break
- Betis winger Juanmi has scored in four of his seven official matches (lasting at least ten minutes) against Real Sociedad.
- The White-Greens have failed to win all four away trips to clubs that start the round below them in the standings
Probable line-up: Silva - Sabally, Nathan, Llorente, Perro - Ruibal, Bartra, Fekir, Fornals, Roca - Juanmi.

1.95Bet Number 1 in the final score

1.98Tip and bets
The terrible statistics of the scoring in the last five head-to-head meetings may be interrupted today – the opponents’ matches are held in a tough struggle, while the goals scored rarely please the fans. We believe that eventually any series are interrupted, which is what we are counting on today. Moreover, both clubs concede a lot.
Our prediction is both will score and we are betting on it at 2.15
Bet on total
Two motivated opponents close the game day of Sunday today. The hosts have the support of the stands, while the general condition of the Basques and the results this season do not give them the right to misfire, but the guests are on the move. Betis plays inconsistently, while the team has very serious potential. We do not see a favorite and suggest paying attention to the option of a peaceful outcome of the event, which will ultimately bring points to everyone.
Our prediction is a draw and we bet on it with odds of 3.75
Betting on yellow cards
The game is not of great importance and the players will not be on edge, but we expect a tough fight and plenty of fouls. Most likely, the referee will show a yellow card more than once to restore order and cool the players' ardor.
Forecast - total yellow cards over 4.5. This option can be found for 1.71
