La Liga will witness a battle for European spots as Real Sociedad and Real Betis clash this weekend. This matchday 17 will be played at the Anoeta Stadium on Sunday. The hosts are 6th in the standings with 29 points while the visitors are 7th with 26 points. Sociedad are behind fifth-placed Athletic only on goal difference but with Betis breathing round their neck, can’t afford a loss here. They are coming off a 3-0 win over Villarreal in the last league matchday. That result made it three wins and a draw over the last four matches giving them some momentum ahead of this round. They held Inter Milan to a goalless draw in the midweek that extended their overall competitive record to eight matches without a loss – five wins and three draws. The record gets better at home where Sociedad have won five of their last six home league games.

Betis lost 3-2 to Rangers at home in the Europa League that extended their indifferent recent form. They won just one of their last five matches in all competitions, drawing and losing two each. It is slightly better in the league though, where they have avoided defeat for 11 matches in a row. This sequence has seen them win only four matches though, with the seven draws stunting their progress a bit. The problems increase on the road where Betis are winless in their last seven away league games drawing five and losing two.
