Latest news
Real Sociedad
❌ The participation of Gonçalo Guedes in the upcoming match remains uncertain, as the Portuguese footballer is still recovering from a leg injury. On a positive note, Iñaki Ruperes has returned to training on Tuesday, and he is likely to be ready to assist the team in the final matches of the championship. A similar situation surrounds Igor Zubeldia, with the defender aiming for a return to the lineup for Saturday's game. A significant setback is the suspension of Jon Aramburu due to an accumulation of yellow cards. Meanwhile, Álvaro Odriozola continues his recovery following knee surgery in March.
Real Betis
❌ Among the unavailable players for Betis, several key figures stand out. First and foremost is Junior Firpo, who has returned to team training but is not yet ready for full match action. It's best not to expect any contribution from Marc Bartra until next season, as he suffered a significant injury in late April. Additionally, Ángel Ortiz is sidelined for the remainder of the La Liga campaign due to a hamstring injury.
⚽ Goal Prediction
In 5 of Real Betis' last 6 matches, both teams found the back of the net. Notably, both sides have averaged 1.5 goals per game this season, highlighting their offensive capabilities. It's reasonable to expect a high-stakes encounter with plenty of scoring opportunities. Our pick is both teams to score (yes) at odds of 1.55*.
🚩 Corner Prediction
In each of the last nine head-to-head clashes, there have been no more than ten corner kicks. This trend is consistent with most of their recent La Liga fixtures. We anticipate a fast-paced, direct style of play that won't yield a high number of corners. Our choice is total corners under 10.5 at odds of 1.67*.
*Odds are indicative and may vary across different bookmakers.
Editor's Prediction
The head-to-head history favors the team from Seville. Meanwhile, it's worth noting that the "royals," after their Copa del Rey triumph, have lost their form-struggling in their last three national league games in San Sebastián. In contrast, the "green-and-whites" are hitting their stride perfectly right now. Our editorial team predicts a final score of 1-2, with the main bet being Betis will not lose (double chance X2).
