Sevilla vs Real Sociedad. Prediction and Betting Tips for La Liga

With a few matches left to go until the World Cup break, Sevilla find themselves in the relegation battle. Team is facing a real possibility of spending the winter break among the three worst teams in the league. 

A 1:1 draw against Betis in El Gran Derbi didn't help the team in the relegation battle, but hosts deserve credit for snatching a point, despite finishing the game in 10 men. Jorge Sampaoli's men are going into this game with two victories and five draws, delivering 11 points and a 17th spot in the standings. Corona, Fernando, Marcao and Nianzou will miss the upcoming game. 

Real Sociedad dropped points in the previous match, but managed to hold Valencia to a 1:1 draw, despite finishing the match in 10 men. However, team should be disappointed with that result, because a victory could see the Royal Club rising to the 3rd spot. Their current position is team's worst result after 13 rounds since the 2018/19 season. 

After 13 rounds Basques have seven victories and two draws. The White-Blues put up a much more successful performance in the Europa League, winning five of six games in the group stage. That result brought a top spot in the group standings. Sadiq, Oyarzabal, Munoz, Merquelanz, Cho and Barrenetxea will miss the upcoming match.
