Sevilla vs Real Sociedad Preview

Sevilla will again be without long-term absentees Benoît Trémoulinas and Michael Krohn-Dehli while Mariano is still out injured with a knee problem. The latter’s absence should see Gabriel Mercado fill in at right-back. Joaquin Correa is suspended for the hosts but both Samir Nasri and Vitolo are back in action to boost their options in midfield.

Real Sociedad are sweating on the fitness of Willian Jose and Juanmi looks a more likely starter up-front. Inigo Martinez has a knock but should be okay to play, with Mikel Gonzalez on standby to come in at centre-back. Carlos Martínez and Imanol Agirretxe are both ruled out for the visitors. Alvaro Odriozola is an exciting right-back and it will be interesting to see how he combines with Carlos Vela in this match.

Sevilla vs Real Sociedad Prediction

Sevilla have handed the initiative back to Atletico Madrid in the battle for third-place in La Liga, following the defeat in Malaga. But where they are weak on the road, they make up for it by being a tough team to beat at home. Sevilla come into this match looking for a fourth consecutive victory at Ramón Sánchez Pizjuán.

Real Sociedad are mounting a late challenge for European qualification on the back of some great form. They beat Deportivo La Coruna 1-0 at home and Valencia 2-3 away before the victory over Granada. This looks a tougher ask but the visitors will arrive high on confidence.

Sevilla haven’t lost at home in fourteen matches in all competitions. Real Sociedad’s form gives them a chance but they have only won by a single goal in their last three outings. A draw doesn’t particularly suit either side and their respective ambitions but the feeling is that these two will cancel each other out.
