Real Sociedad picked up a point following the weekend's goalless draw against Real Betis at home. Sociedad took as many shots as Betis, nine, and had as many shots on target as the opposition, two. The draw leaves the club with 11 points from a possible 15 after five La Liga games, WDWWD, and in 6th place, having 55 points from 15W, 10D, & 7L. Real Sociedad are looking to return to winning ways following the weekend’s draw. However, they remain winless in their last 11 matches against Barcelona in La Liga [2D & 9L]. A run that remains their worst winless streak against the Blaugrana since October 1960 [17G: 3D & 14L]. Real Sociedad have not lost any of their last seven La Liga home games [5W & 2D] and have kept a clean sheet in all seven. A victory for Sociedad could see the club move into fifth place if Real Betis [57 points] fails to pick up a win over Elche on Tuesday. The White and Blues will be looking to draw inspiration from the likes of Cádiz when they line up for their 33rd La Liga appearance of the season. Imanol Alguacil lined up the 4—1—2—1—2 against Betis and is expected to do so again on Thursday, for this clash against Barcelona. Alexander Sørloth and Alexander Isak are expected to return in attack. David Silva was shown a red card at the death against Betis and remains suspended for Thursday’s game.

The upper mid-table clash between Real Sociedad and Real Betis Balompié kicks off at 20:00 (GMT+1) on Friday, April 15, at the Reale Arena.

Real Sociedad bagged three points against the Ones from Elche last weekend following a 2-1 comeback win at the Estadio Manuel Martínez Valero. Guido Carrillo (3') had put the home side in the lead before Alexander Isak’s bizarre penalty failed to count despite hitting the back of the net. However, a remarkable header from Alexander Sørloth (31') restored parity at both ends, before a goal from Robin Le Normand (39') gave Real Sociedad the lead until full-time. The club has back-to-back victories ahead of the weekend's game, LWDWW, but remain in 6th place, having picked up 54 points from 15W, 9D, and 7L. Real Sociedad have a great home record against Betis with a 12-game unbeaten run in LaLiga [6W, & 6D]. Avoiding defeat on Friday will see the club match their best unbeaten home record against Real Betis, 13 games in a row, picked up between 1962 and 1984 [11W & 2D]. Furthermore, Imanol Alguacil’s side are unbeaten in their last six home games, doing so for the first time since 1983, having kept clean sheets in all [5W & 1D]. Real Sociedad and Real Betis [56 points] have only two points separating them, and a victory on Friday will see Los Txuri-Urdin leapfrog fifth-placed Betis.
