Sevilla take on the visitors Real Sociedad in the round 14 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Wednesday, November 9th at Estadio Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán (Sevilla).
Sevilla are considered the de facto leader of the "2nd wave" in Spanish football. That is, right behind the top three of the usual leaders, a certain unspoken champion of the “rest of the Examples”. Moreover, under Lopetegui not only managed to win another Europa League, but also managed to aim for something more than 4th place in the championship. But already last season there were enough problems. And Nervionense ended their performances in both European competitions early, losing in the Copa del Rey to their neighbor, Betis. But since it still turned out to remain among the leaders, the mentor remained at his post. It was removed only in the fall, when it became clear that the start of the temporade had failed. But the results under the successor, Sampaoli, demonstrate that the problems were not only with the mentor - there are enough problems now. Against this background, a draw in a derby with an ambitious neighbor, Betis, already looks like a breakthrough, a success.

Real Sociedad had long been “licking their lips” for a place in the Champions League’s four. But "Txuri-urdinak" simply could not withstand the competition in recent years. Sometimes it turned out to be worthy to start, but as a result of the draw, the team from San Sebastian was blown away, limited only to a place in the Europa League. In the latter, by the way, it turned out and now it is worthy to show themselves in the group stage - the Spaniards were even able to win Manchester United. But, of course, Imanol Alguasil and his wards want to take advantage of the recession of Sevilla. But they frankly lack stability. Yes, after a difficult start, it turned out to be victories in 5 rounds of La Liga in a row at the end of September and October. But after that there were new misfires. First there was a defeat to a newcomer, Valladolid, and then they lost to a direct competitor, Betis. Yes, and with Valencia, having opened an account due to an own goal, Sociedad quickly remained with ten men, so the final 1-1 can be considered a worthy result.
Real Sociedad have not won a head-to-head since 2017. After their most recent success, 9 matches were held, of which Sevilla won 5. A draw was recorded 4 more times, including in both matches of the last La Liga draw. Bookmakers give a slight advantage to Sevilla. But it’s worth, remembering that both clubs don’t shine in recent matches, betting on “less than 2.5 goals scored”.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
