The starting line-ups for each team are based on their last match in this tournament.
Sevilla
The Sevillistas have climbed to 10th place in the league table, just three points behind the European competition zone. The club has moved up thanks to three victories in their last five matches, with one draw and only one defeat to Barcelona. In the previous round, Francisco Pimienta's team won away against Espanyol (2-0), although before that they hadn't won by a two-goal margin in 14 consecutive league matches.
Midfielder Saul Niguez, defenders Tanguy Nianzou and Loic Bade, goalkeeper Erjan Nyland, and forwards Suso and Chidera Ejuke will miss the match due to injuries.
- Sevilla haven't won in 11 of their last 15 La Liga encounters (3 draws and 8 defeats).
- The team has scored exactly one or two goals in their last seven league matches.
- At home, Sevilla have a 12-match uncompromising streak in La Liga (7 wins and 5 defeats).
Real Sociedad
In their last match, the San Sebastian side lost at home to Osasuna (0-2). Before that, the club had gone four league games without defeat, securing two wins and two draws. The team is currently in 12th position, three points behind Sevilla. It is worth noting that the club has scored only 8 goals, which is the worst performance in La Liga (tied with two other teams).
Defender Aihen Munoz will miss the match due to injury.
- Real Sociedad haven't won in 7 of their last 9 La Liga games (3 draws and 4 defeats).
- No more than two goals were scored in 7 of the last 8 league matches involving the Basque team.
- At least one team failed to score in 7 of the last 8 La Liga matches involving San Sebastian's team.
Sevilla – Real Sociedad: Match Prediction
Bookmakers are overestimating the current capabilities of Imanol Alguacil's charges. This season, San Sebastian's side looks much worse than last, with a low scoring record on par with La Liga's outsiders. In their current five away La Liga matches, Real Sociedad has only scored twice – in games against Espanyol and Girona, who are both in poor form.
Sevilla, on the contrary, has transformed after a poor start and in the last five rounds has only lost to the league leader. Additionally, the club has a 3-match winning streak at home in La Liga. I would also note that in the previous eight head-to-head La Liga encounters at their home stadium, Sevilla have secured five victories, two draws, and only once has Real Sociedad come out on top.
Therefore, I suggest the prediction – "Sevilla with a handicap (0)" for the odds
Villarreal
Rayo Vallecano
