Betis suffered their 10th league-defeat of the season against Osasuna on Saturday despite the fact that Juan Miranda and Guido Rodriguez found the back of the net at El Sadar. Prior to that, Manuel Pellegrini’s side got the better of Espanyol 3-1 courtesy of goals from Ayoze Perez, Miranda and William Carvalho. It was Los Verderones’s 14th top flight victory of the season. Meanwhile, Betis have won eight of their 15 league-matches at Benito Villamarin this term. The Green and Whites secured all three points against Real Sociedad in the reverse fixture at Reale Arena in October last year thanks to two unanswered goals from Juan Cruz and Borja Iglesias.
Real Sociedad, on the other hand, have won three of their last five matches. White-Blue secured their 16th La Liga-win of the season against Vallecano on Saturday thanks to Alexander Sorloth’s 59th-minute equalsier and Florian Lejeune’s own goal nine minutes from time. La Real, who actually finished fourth in 2012-13, have not actually beaten Betis in last six attempts. Although White-Blue have pretty good away-record in the La Liga this term, having taken 26 points from a 15 matches, but they have lost three of their last four top flight games on the road.
Real Betis probable starting lineup: Silva, Montoya, Felipe, Gonzalez, Abner, Rodriguez, Carvalho, Henrique, Canales, Perez, Iglesias
Real Sociedad probable starting lineup: Remiro, Elustondo, Zubeldia, Le Normand, Munoz, Silva, Merino, Zubimendi, Illarramendi, Sorloth, Oyarzabal
