La Liga fixture between Real Sociedad and Real Betis promises to be an intriguing encounter, particularly given the teams' current standings—Sociedad at 10th place with 18 points and Betis slightly ahead at 9th with 20 points . Despite Sociedad's recent success in the Europa League against Ajax, their domestic performance has been subpar, winning only five out of fourteen matches. In contrast, Betis is grappling with a three-game winless streak in La Liga, which includes losses to Valencia and Mlada Boleslav. This context adds layers of unpredictability to the match.
Ander Barrenetxea at home against the Dutch giants lifted Sociedad after their loss in the Basque derby.
They will be looking to add on to it with three points against Betis, a team they haven't lost to in the last three meetings.
Real Betis will not present an easy opponent; they are struggling themselves and will come battling for a return to winning ways. While Sociedad celebrated a return to victorious ways, there were more frowns than smiles at the Seville-based club.
Predicted Lineups
Real Sociedad have a few players sidelined including potential would-be starters Aritz Elustondo, Hamari Traore and Orri Oskarsson. Real Betis have far more players out than they would like, including William Carvalho, Johnny Cardoso and Hector Bellerin among others. 
Real Sociedad: Remiro; Aramburu, Zubeldia, Aguerd, J Lopez; Kubo, Gomez, Zubimendi, Sucic, Barrenetxea; Oyarzabal
Real Betis: Silva; Sabaly, Bartra, Natan, Perraud; Altimira, Guirao; Ruibal, Lo Celso, Avila; Roque
