AI match recap

Betis begin at La Cartuja with the stronger recent feel in this matchup and the benefit of a home setting, but their attacking depth has been hit hard. Lo Celso, Abde and Ruibal are unavailable, while Isco may only be able to influence the match in shorter bursts. Sociedad arrive without several options of their own and are not expected to start Oyarzabal, placing extra creative responsibility on Kubo. The opening midfield battle and Betis's ability to turn wide possession into clear chances should shape the night.

Head-to-head analysis

Betis are unbeaten in the last three league meetings and have won the last two played in Seville. The broader record is much more even, so the recent home pattern is useful context rather than a decisive historical edge.

Injuries and absences

Betis's absences strip out several attacking profiles, especially Lo Celso's combination play and Abde's ability to attack a full-back directly; Isco's managed return does not fully replace that workload. Sociedad lack Odriozola defensively and have reduced attacking depth without Guedes, Marín and a starting Oyarzabal.
