Undoubtedly, it will be an open match and with situations during most of the 90 minutes of play. However, if we consider the greater collective and individual hierarchy of the Andalusians, we believe that their simple triumph is interesting to bet on. Remember that the Basques are not reliable in Anoeta, demonstrating it by adding 4 matches without winning in home condition. He paints to be a round-the-clock duel at times, but favorable to the boys of Pablo Machín for his dynamic and vertical style of forward midfield.
Real Sociedad :
The Basques do not have a good time in the tournament, after losing 2-0 with Atlético de Madrid to visit and confirm their irregularity in terms of results. Currently they have 12 points, product of 3 wins, 3 draws and 4 falls in total. They have managed to win 1 single game of the last 5 disputed, lacking equilibrium between lines and solvency in defensive matters. The team is smart and generates, but has not been very effective in the face of the goal.
As a local in Anoeta, the Real Sociedad has reaped negative results, after adding several games without winning so far (2 draws and 2 losses). He comes from losing 1-2 to Barcelona, from leveling 2-2 with Rayo Vallecano, from losing 0-1 to Valencia and from drawing 0-0 against Girona. If we analyze these results, we can conclude that the Basques are having problems facing the goal. Proof of this is not having scored in his last 2 presentations at home. For this duel it is expected that the boys of Professor Garitano risk to break this bad streak, which is affecting a bit of the team from the emotional and from the football.
Sevilla:
The present of the Andalusian team can be classified as positive after beating Huesca 2-1 at home and adding 19 units to the general table. Thanks to this victory, the team recovered from the slip in the Nou Camp. Now it is 2 points away from the “culés” and 1 from the Alavés guard. At the moment, the proposal of Professor Pablo Machín is working perfectly, which allows his boys to be vertical in attack and difficult to overcome from the collective point of view (22 goals in favor and 8 against).
As a visitor, Sevilla has alternated good and bad results in this condition, product of 3 wins and 2 losses. Rayo Vallecano came from 1-4, to lose 1-0 to the classic against Betis, to crush 2-6 to Levante, to overcome 1-3 to Eibar and to lose 4-2 against Barcelona. For the Europa League, he lost 2-1 to Krasnodar in Russia after winning the opening stage 0-1. Apparently, the team scores and surrenders goals with ease, demonstrating it by registering the bet “both teams score” in almost all their outs. Of course, always have what it takes to develop and reach the goal.
In the last 5 years, Real Sociedad and Sevilla have met 5 times in Anoeta. These were the results of those matches: Draw 1-1 in September 2013, victory 4-3 of the Real Sociedad in February 2015, victory 2-0 of the Real Sociedad in November 2015, victory 0-4 of Sevilla in January 2017 and triumph 3-1 of the Real Sociedad in December 2017. It seems that the Basque squad has a slight paternity over the Andalusians. However, we trust that its irregular moment will allow Sevilla to win.
PREDICTION: Over 2.5 goals @ 1.72
