How does Sevilla present themselves after the festivities?
Real Sociedad have set their sights high this season and have benefited from Sevilla’s weakness in the league, among other things. That’s why the hosts have managed to qualify for the Champions League. Fourth place is no longer out of reach for “La Real”.
The Real Sociedad vs. Sevilla prediction of the betting providers unanimously indicates that the home side has an advantage. The Basques are not necessarily better individually than Sevilla, but they are rested. And the form in the league speaks for the hosts.
For Real Sociedad it’s not really about much anymore, Sevilla has already achieved the big goal, namely winning the Europa League. That was only a few days ago, too. Therefore, before the Real Sociedad vs. Sevilla match, our tip is that the hosts will win the match.
Real Sociedad – Statistics & current form
Last weekend Real Sociedad played away at Atletico Madrid. The team of coach Imanol Alguacil lost 1:2, but fourth place was still safe for the Basques. This was an extreme success for the team, which will therefore play in the top flight in the new season. But the hosts have that in common with the guests, who won the Europa League during the week.
La Real is playing a good role this season, has moved up another level. The mix of young players like Cho, Barrenetxea or Kubo combined with experienced players who lead the team absolutely make it. In the last home game of the season, the hosts still want to make sure that the fans leave the season with a positive feeling.
Spectacle has not been a common occurrence for the Basques, but positive results have been. 84 goals have been scored in 37 games involving the hosts, but La Liga as a whole has not been known for delivering the big spectacle. In any case, Real Sociedad vs. Sevilla odds indicate favouritism for the home side. The team will be looking to take advantage of this.
Good record at the Anoeta
For the most part, Real Sociedad are playing very well at home this season. There have been ten wins in 18 home games. Even more impressively, the team has only suffered three of its nine defeats at the Estadio Anoeta this season. The defence also worked a little better here (15 compared to 19 goals conceded).
Most recently, there was only one defeat in the last eight games for the Basques. The team has even won five of these eight games. The final spurt ensured that the team qualified for the top flight safely and, in the end, with confidence. The team’s own goal for the season was therefore exceeded.
Now the home team wants to achieve another good result. The home side has a good chance of winning the match. That’s why our prediction before the Real Sociedad vs. Sevilla match is that the home team will win the match.
Sevilla – Statistics & current form
Sevilla FC have done it again. The Andalusians have won the Europa League. That doesn’t really seem like special news anymore, because in recent years this team has regularly been the one to triumph in the end. Sevilla no longer has too many goals on the last matchday of the season, the most important game was won. But: Sevilla can still be satisfied with the development of the last weeks and months.
For a long time, the team played against relegation. Lopetegui started the season as coach, later they switched to Sampaoli. Nobody warmed up to him either, so Jose Luis Mendilibar came in – and proved to be a success. 4-2-3-1, a simple basic set-up with clear structures and a few experienced players to lead the team: It can be that simple. Sevilla went for more than 120 minutes plus penalties on Wednesday and will be correspondingly tired.
That is likely to become a factor in this match. Because in addition to the game and the success, there were of course celebrations. The Andalusians will therefore perhaps also spare one or two players. One thing both teams have in common is that Sevilla have also suffered only one defeat in their last eight games.
Sevilla: The form curve as a positive omen
And it goes even further: Sevilla have conceded only two defeats from their last 15 competitive matches. The form curve of these weeks is encouraging for the coming season, especially if one or two more adjustments are made to the squad. Mendilibar also seems to be a coach who fits this club. Even if it is too early for a final judgement.
Nobody would blame the visitors if they didn’t show a good game in this situation after the highlight during the week. However, something could happen going forward, which is why our value tip before the Real Sociedad vs. Sevilla match is that the hosts do not lose and both teams score.
