Real Sociedad head into this one in inconsistent form, alternating wins and defeats across their last five, while Betis have been hard to beat on the road with just one loss in five away outings. Betis sit three places higher in the table and took the points in the only recent H2H on record, so they arrive with genuine confidence rather than just respectable form.

The goal data here is striking. Real Sociedad's home games have seen both teams score in 76% of matches with over 2.5 goals in 71% of them, well above the league average of 56% and 50% respectively. Betis also hit that 76% BTTS mark in away fixtures, though their games tend to be lower scoring with O2.5 at just 47%. The overlap still points toward an open, end-to-end contest with goals at both ends likely.

This looks tighter than a home-versus-away reading might suggest. Betis are undervalued here given their away resilience and superior league standing.
