Sevilla vs Real Sociedad Prediction

This Sunday’s La Liga match sees Real Sociedad make the trip to face Sevilla at the Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán. This is a huge match given both sides have started off the season of very poorly and are only two places away from each other.

Key Stats

• These sides have not drawn with each other in the last 4 meetings
• Real Sociedad have kept the most clean sheets in La Liga so far (5)
• Sevilla have scored 8 goals in their last 5 games whereas Real Sociedad have scored 5 goals in their last 5

Team Previews, Form and Standout Players

Normally in the top half of the table, both Sevilla and Real Sociedad have kicked off their seasons in a bad way, Real Sociedad in particular. Sevilla’s Dodi Lukébakio has bagged five goals in 11 La Liga appearances and the top scorer for Sociedad has racked up just two goals, Takefusa Kubo being the man for them.

Both sides have injuries in key areas so each manager will have a hard time choosing their starting 11s but it is Real Sociedad who have the better chance with the higher amount of players available.

Predicted Line-Up: Álvaro Fernández; Adrià Pedrosa, Kike Salas, Marcão, José Ángel Carmona; Nemanja Gudelj, Albert Sambi Lokonga; Stanis Idumbo Muzambo, Juanlu Sánchez, Dodi Lukébakio; Isaac Romero

It has been a disappointing couple of years for Sevilla. In the past two seasons they have been a club that is at mid-table level when they used to be one that would constantly be in and around fourth place. Sevilla currently stand in 10th after 11 games. Four wins, four losses and three draws has left them with 15 points. Considering there is only a three point gap to sixth placed Athletic Bilbao on 18, it isn’t all doom and gloom for Sevilla fans. They are struggling for goals this season though. Dodi Lukébakio is the club’s top scorer this season and he has five goals, the rest of their 12 goals have come from four other individuals who have netted once. The Sevilla players need to find their shooting boots in order to hit the back of the net more often.

Los Nervioneses are also missing some very key players for them. Goalkeeper Ørjan Nyland, defenders Loïc Badé and Tanguy Nianzou plus midfielder Saúl Ñíguez and attackers Suso and Chidera Ejuke are all missing this match through injury. With so many players out, they will have to rely on some of their youth prospects, something that they have been successful with over their last couple of games.

Real Sociedad Preview

Predicted Line-Up: Joan García; Brian Oliván, Leandro Cabrera, Marash Kumbulla, Omar El Hilali; Jofre Carreras, José Gragera, Alex Král, Álvaro Tejero; Javi Puado, Walid Cheddira

It has been a disappointing beginning to this year’s 2024/25 La Liga campaign of years for Real Sociedad. From competing in the UEFA Champions League last season, to currently standing in 12th after 11 games. Three wins, five losses and three draws has left them with 12 points. There is only a three point difference between Sociedad’s opponents Sevilla who are on 15. Sociedad are struggling for goals this season though as their top scorers after these 11 games are Takefuso Kubo and Orri Óskarsson who have picked up two goals each, the rest of their eight goals have come from four other individuals so their teammates need to find their shooting boots.

Similar to Sevilla, Los Txuri-urdin are also missing some very key players for them. Right back Hamari Traoré is unavailable for this important match as his has picked up a cruciate ligament injury. Young attacking midfielders Arsen Zakharyan and Pablo Marín will not play in this game but should be back to full fitness soon.
