Real Sociedad v Sevilla

Real Sociedad vs Sevilla Preview

The Spanish top flight action also concludes this Sunday and features this upcoming clash between fourth-placed Real Sociedad and 11th placed Sevilla at the Reale Arena with the hosts already assured of a Champions League spot but although Sevilla occupy a mid-table position in La Liga, the visitors still have an outside chance of a top seven finish.

After picking up just three wins in their preceding 11 league games in the Spanish top flight, Real Sociedad put in a concerted effort in the season run-in and the hosts were repaid with losing just one further game in their subsequent eight matches which earned them a top four finish and a financially lucrative spot in next season's Champions League.

Real Sociedad collected five wins within these last eight matches by way of victories over Rayo Vallecano, Osasuna, Real Madrid, Barcelona and Almeria, so the hosts look in strong form and in the driving seat to end their season on a winning note here this Sunday, and having scored in each of their last six games, Real Sociedad look set for further success.

Sevilla may occupy a place in mid-table in the La Liga standings but the visitors find themselves just one point behind seventh-placed Osasuna in what is a congested top half of the Spanish top flight with no fewer than five teams chasing the last remaining European spot.

However, Sevilla look to have to do it the hard way here this Sunday if they're to achieve their European ambitions as they have failed to win any of their last three league matches, drawing with Real Betis and Elche before losing 2-1 at home to Real Madrid last time out at their Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán.

The bigger picture though still appears fairly promising for Sevilla as they have lost just twice in their last 11 matches overall, both defeats being inflicted upon Sevilla at home, while the visitors have seen a turnaround in fortunes on the road, picking up four wins out of their last five outings on their travels.

Victories at Cadiz, Valencia, Athletic Bilbao and Real Valladolid appears to give Sevilla an outside chance here.

Real Sociedad v Sevilla Verdict

Real Sociedad have won five of their last six matches on home soil at their Reale Arena and the previous meeting against Sevilla saw Real Sociedad record a 2-1 win away at Sevilla back in November.

Sevilla have put in a decent shift on the road of late but the visitors may well come up short in this final fixture of the season.

Therefore, our main bet will be Real Sociedad win @ 1.75

Other side bets worth considering:
