Summary

Both teams are struggling for consistency, and with Sociedad yet to taste victory, they may play cautiously.

Betis will likely dominate possession, but Sociedad’s counter-attacking threat should be enough to put up a good challenge.

On Friday evening, Real Betis hosts Real Sociedad in an important La Liga match at the Estadio Benito Villamarín. Manuel Pellegrini's side hopes to build some momentum after a hit-and-miss start to the season, while Real Sociedad is still in search of its opening league win of the 2025/26 campaign. Both teams are hoping to ascend the table, so this should be a competitive affair in Seville.

Recent form

They were able to storm from two goals down in the last match to get a respectable 2-2 draw with Levante.

Team Updates

Real Betis: Isco (injury) - out, Nobel Mendy, Marc Bartra, Ricardo Rodriguez, Aitor Ruibal - doubtful. Giovani Lo Celso is expected to return in the number 10 position. Antony is likely to retain his spot on the right flank. Pablo Fornals will be in a deep midfield role with Cucho Hernandez up front.

Real Sociedad: Yangel Herrera - Out (muscle issue). Orri Oskarsson, Luka Sucic, Brais Mendez - fitness tests. Takefusa Kubo may return to the starting XI. Oyarzabal will remain a close attacking threat.

Match Preview

Real Betis approach this match in somewhat mixed form, but with a very solid home record as they aim to close in on the European qualification places. The attacking trio of Antony, Lo Celso, and Hernandez will be key to breaking down a Sociedad side that has struggled to take their chances this season.
Real Sociedad, although they have not made the best start to the season, showed promise against Real Madrid and will rely heavily on the direction and finishing from captain Mikel Oyarzabal. Their head-to-head record is somewhat encouraging, given that Sociedad edge over Betis historically; this is despite Pellegrini’s men beating them 3-0 in this fixture last season.
This game could go either way - Betis have the home advantage, but Sociedad will be more than desperate to put an end to a winless streak.
