La Liga action returns this weekend, where two strugglers go head-to-head. Throughout their opening nine games combined, Betis are the only team who have managed to win a game, so both of these sides will be looking to pick up some form soon.
Key Betting Tips: BTTS at 1.72 odds on Kwiff represents excellent value based on the tip provided by our algorithm.
Betis Predicted XI (4-2-3-1): Álvaro Vallés; Junior Firpo, Valentin Gomez, Natan, Hector Bellerin; Sergi Altimira, Pablo Fornals; Rodrigo Riquelme, Nelson Deossa, Antony; Juan Hernández.
Sociedad Predicted XI (4-2-3-1): Alex Remiro; Sergio Gomez, Duje Caleta-Car, Igor Zubeldia, Aritz Elustondo; Ander Barrenettxea, Jon Gorrontxategi, Mikel Goti, Carlos Soler; Mikel Oyarzabal, Gonçalo Guedes.
Sergio Francisco could make one change from their defeat to Real Madrid last week, with Soler coming into replace Pablo Marin.
The hosts are one of the just two sides who have played five matches so far, with the verdiblancos sitting in tenth so far, winning one, drawing three, and losing one. Meanwhile, Sociedad are winless from their opening four games, both drawing and losing two. The visitors reside just a point off the relegation zone.
These clubs have excellent history head-to-head, with the pendulum swinging either way as much as stays in the middle. Betis have nine of the last 31 meetings, to Sociedad’s 12, while the remaining 10 have been a stalemate. The last five have been more interesting, however, with Sociedad winning three to Betis’ one.
Recent Head-to-Head Results:
The last time the teams met was back in February in Sevilla, where Betis came away with a comfortable 3-0 victory. Goals from loanee Antony and a quick-fire brace from Marc Roca spared the blushes of Giovani Lo Celso who missed as penalty in the first period.

Our advanced algorithm analyses over 200 data points to generate these predictions with confidence in a BTTS victory. The model factors in current form, head-to-head records, player availability, and tactical matchups.
Football Park’s Best Bet: BTTS @ 1.72 - Recent form suggests confidence in a goalfest of a game. Both teams have been weaker than ideal defensively, showing there will be many chances flowing both ways.
Junior Firpo (Real Betis): In his three matches so far since his move from Leeds in the summer, Firpo has showed his class on the left, already providing an assist. His chance creation has also proved to be critical to any success Betis find in the final third so far.
Ander Barrenetxea (Real Sociedad): Barrenetxea has been crucial in the attacking half so far for Sociedad, finding a crucial goal so far. He has been one player who has found many chances so far. His side will hope he can convert some of them on Friday.
