Sociedad currently hold a Europa Conference League qualifier spot having been defeated only three times in their 13 La Liga matches and sitting top of their Champions League group by goal difference with 10 points from four games. Imanol Alguacil's side are looking to make it back-to-back victories on Sunday after defeating slicing through Almeria before the break.
The heights of last campaign's European triumph haven't been met in La Liga, just like they weren't in the previous season either. Draws have halted any real progress for Sunday's visitors, who've won just two of their 12 La Liga matches and sit rock bottom of their Champions League group with a measly two points.
Real Sociedad vs Sevilla Tips
Real Sociedad & Under 2.5 Goals
Sociedad are maintaining a real healthy balance of domestic and European responsibilities, sitting 6th in La Liga and top of their Champions League group heading into December. Although they're set to be without top scorer Mikel Oyarzabal who has contributed 9 goals in 17 games and seven in 13 La Liga outings, the hosts should still have enough to glide past a destitute Sevilla.
Despite their lowly league position and woeful showing in this season's premier European competition, Sevilla do still have a positive goal difference, shipping only 17 goals in 12 matches. Given this statistic and the fact that the visitors have drawn five consecutive league fixtures, we don't anticipate The Royal handing the away side a pasting. 11 of Sociedad's matches have finished under this particular goals line, with six of those being registered as wins, which leaves us confident that the home team can get the job done by scoring one or two goals and shutting their opponents out who've scored only 18 goals in 12.
Ander Barrenetxea To Score & Over 0.5 Shots On Target
In Oyarzabal's absence Sociedad's busiest player in front of goal is winger Ander Barrenetxea, who looks to be a real prospect at the tender age of just 21. The Spaniard has provided four goals for his team this season, with three of those coming while in La Liga action.
The left or right side attacker has struck 20 shots - a tally only Oyarzabal has more than - finding the target in five different games. Without their star striker, emphasis will be on others to step up and win the game for Sociedad, which Ander has the ability to do. Sevilla have kept just one clean sheet in their last 11 outings, so we'd be very surprised if they managed to keep out a team who have proven they mean business in La Liga and the UCL.
