Regular European contenders Real Betis and Real Sociedad are both looking to improve on slow starts to the campaign when they clash in La Liga’s Friday night offering. The first goal looks to be key here given that none of the last nine H2Hs saw both teams score. The home team on the day won both H2Hs last season, with Betis winning the corresponding fixture 3-0 in February. Real Betis have scored exactly once in five of their last six home league games.

Real Betis have failed to take advantage of having played a game more than their rivals at this early stage of the campaign, with their five matches so far yielding just a single victory (D3, L1). Manuel Pellegrini’s men at least have some momentum on their side after they came from two goals down to salvage a 2-2 draw against newly-promoted Levante at the weekend, and they’ll be keen to build on that with this their final fixture before starting their UEFA Europa League campaign against Nottingham Forest next week.

Real Sociedad missed out on Europe altogether last season, and their chances of getting back there appear slim if their start to the season is anything to go by. Defeat at home to Real Madrid last time out means that Real Sociedad have failed to win any of their opening four league matches for the first time since 2015/16 under David Moyes. La Real won their fifth game back then against Real Betis’ Andalusian neighbours Granada, and new boss Sergio Francisco may need to repeat the act if he wants to avoid an early exit from his first top-flight job.

Real Betis are unbeaten in their last 15 Friday-held La Liga matches (W9, D6). Real Sociedad have scored all four of their La Liga goals this season after half-time. Real Sociedad have won just one of their last 13 away league games (D3, L9), with eight of those defeats seeing them fail to score.

Antony is primed to make his first home appearance since rejoining Real Betis, and he has happy memories of this fixture having scored and assisted in last season’s corresponding H2H. Real Sociedad’s Mikel Oyarzabal has faced no side more in his career than Betis (W8, D7, L6), directly contributing to 12 goals in that time (G6, A6).

Marc Bartra, Ricardo Rodriguez and Aitor Ruibal look to be out for Real Betis, as well as long-term absentee Isco, while Real Sociedad could be without Yangel Herrera, Orri Óskarsson and Brais Méndez here.
