Real Sociedad v Sevilla Betting Tips [4 June 2023]

Spots in the Champions league are sealed for both Real Sociedad and Sevilla ahead of their league game at Reale Arena. Hosts Sociedad will finish fourth while 11th placed Sevilla will look to rise. Either way, the two sides will have no pressure coming into this game. Sociedad lost 2-1 to Atletico Madrid last time out but results elsewhere meant they still secured a top four slot. They will play in the Champions league for the first time in a decade. That loss away to Atletico was their first in eight matches, and they’ve suffered just two losses in 10. Sociedad have failed to score in two of their last 10 matches, while they’ve scored two or more in six. The hosts will be glad to extend their celebrations in front of home fans. Indeed, they’ve done well at home, coming into this game unbeaten in nine matches at home. Sociedad have bagged 19 of a possible 30 points in the last 10 home matches. They’ve won five of the last six league games at home.

Despite finishing low in the league, Sevilla have their ticket to the Champions League. They are coming from a win over AS Roma in the Europa League final. That win, on post-match penalties, booked their slot in the continental competition. The Europa League winners however, come into this game without a win in regular time in the last five games. They have one loss in their last five matches and four have ended in draws at 90 minutes. In their last 10 matches, Sevilla have three clean sheets. However, they take to this game a run of eight away matches without a loss. While Sevilla are unbeaten in five away league matches, it hasn’t been rosy all season. They’ve won just six of 18 away league matches this season.

Sevilla have done well in recent away league matches, but overall, they haven't won in normal time in five games. Real Sociedad will counter them with their good run at home. Sevilla have two draws in three league games. The two sides will be under no pressure coming into this game; at best, this is a dead rubber affair. Our prediction for Real Sociedad v Sevilla is for the game to end in a draw.
