Will the Basques strike twice?
In Andalusia, the specter of relegation looms after four losses in their last five league games, and we have a tip ready for the upcoming clash between Sevilla and Real Sociedad! One could even say that the home team is due for relegation this season. Last season, the “Blanquirrojos” barely avoided relegation, finishing 17th in the final standings.
The main reason for another weak season for the men from the Ramón Sánchez-Pizjuán Stadium is their leaky defense. With 55 goals conceded, they have the worst record in the league.
Now they’re also facing a strong offense. The Basques have scored the most goals after the top four teams in the table! Given this, we’re predicting more than one goal from the visitors in the match between Sevilla and Real Sociedad.

Now they’re also facing a strong offense. The Basques have scored the most goals in the league after the top four teams in the standings! Given this, we’re predicting more than one goal from the visitors in the match between Sevilla and Real Sociedad.
This prediction is supported by a look at the first-leg matchup, where Oyarzabal already scored both of his team’s goals. Furthermore, the prediction is bolstered by the current absence of his Portuguese strike partner Gonçalo Guedes, the Basques’ second-leading scorer this season with eight goals, which means the team is currently relying on him even more.
Sevilla – Real Sociedad Head-to-Head Record
The last head-to-head match between the “Nervionenses” and the team from San Sebastian ended in a 2-1 home win for the Atlantic side. No new pattern: The visitors have won five of the past seven meetings (5-0-2)!
For the upcoming match between Sevilla and Real Sociedad, the odds also point toward a victory for Coach Pellegrino Matarazzo’s visiting team.
Sevilla – Real Sociedad Prediction
Sevilla is once again defying the odds this season and, just like last season, finds itself in serious relegation trouble. In the past five matchdays, they’ve suffered two defeats in basement battles against the bottom two teams in the table.
The home team has thus dropped crucial points, and with Real Sociedad, Coach Luis García’s squad now faces a significantly stronger opponent who, for his part, remains highly motivated to secure a spot in European competition. Furthermore, the defense on the “Hispalenses” side continues to look shaky, having conceded eight goals in their last five league matches.
In light of these points, the betting odds for two or more goals by the visitors in the match between Sevilla and Real Sociedad look promising. The prediction is backed up by the statistics: In only one of the last seven meetings did the “Txuri-Urdin” fail to score at least twice!
