H2H: Betis vs Sociedad – Result Prediction (La Liga

Preview and Teams Comparison.

Cristian Tello has scored two second-half league goals for Betis this term – eight of his last ten competitive strikes for his club came after the 70th minute. Unbeaten across his last 14 goalscoring appearances (W11, D3), Roberto López has netted in both of Sociedad’s LL away games this season. Betis have failed to score in just one of their last 35 home league matches (W16, D8, L11), in a run that stretches back to October 2018.

Betis Insights.

By snapping a two-match losing streak with a 2-0 win over Valencia (October 3), Real Betis lifted themselves into second place in La Liga (LL) prior to the international break (W3, L2). All three of their victories came with a clean sheet, courtesy of goals either between the 10th and 20th minute or after the 70th. Scoring all four of their LL home goals inside the opening 40 minutes, Betis will be encouraged by the fact that the host of the day is undefeated in eight H2H encounters (W4, D4). Yet, only one team has received more yellow cards per home league game on average than Betis’ four ahead of this round of fixtures.

Sociedad Insights.

Real Sociedad, meanwhile, sat just one place below their hosts (W2, D2, L1) before the international break, following a 3-0 win over Getafe (Oct 3). More dangerous the longer games progress, six (85.71%) out of seven goals they’ve scored this term have come in the second half, and four (66.67%) of those arrived after the 75th minute. Similarly, all seven goals they scored in their last four league away games (W2, D2) have come after HT, and it has been six games since they drew a blank on the road (W2, D3, L1). Unsurprisingly then, they had earned a league-high average of seven corners per LL away game ahead of this round.
