CONCLUSION

Real Betis enters with clear edges in power rating, league position, and form, positioning them to challenge strongly away at Anoeta. Sociedad's home advantage offers hope, but Betis' 2.3-point superiority and higher momentum suggest they can control key phases. Without efficiency or set-piece insights, expect emphasis on structural discipline and transitions. A draw remains plausible in this tight contest, yet Betis' trajectory points toward a potential upset win, extending their top-five push.
