Ander Barrenetxea to Score

Ander Barrenetxea has quietly become one of Real Sociedad’s most reliable attacking outlets, and his inclusion in this market looks a logical step. With Oyarzabal often tightly marked by opposition defences, Barrenetxea finds pockets of space on the left-hand side to exploit. Against Real Madrid he showed real sharpness and movement, getting into promising areas despite Sociedad falling short on the night. His ability to drift in from wide positions gives him opportunities to shoot from distance as well as inside the box.

Real Betis, although compact under Manuel Pellegrini, have still allowed opposition chances, conceding six goals in five matches. With their defensive unit unsettled by injuries and absences, the Basque winger could be afforded openings. His directness also pairs well with Kubo’s creativity on the opposite flank, ensuring Sociedad can attack with balance. In a team struggling for consistency in front of goal, Barrenetxea represents one of their likeliest scorers, and this fixture provides him with a real chance to make his mark.

Giovani Lo Celso to be Carded

Giovani Lo Celso is set to return to Betis’s starting XI in an advanced midfield role, yet his style of play often lands him in disciplinary trouble. The Argentine thrives on dictating tempo and closing down aggressively when possession is lost, and that intensity regularly results in mistimed challenges. With Sociedad boasting quick players like Kubo and Barrenetxea who excel at carrying the ball into dangerous areas, Lo Celso could find himself stretched defensively.

Betis are also preparing for European football in midweek, meaning fatigue management might influence Pellegrini’s approach. If Sociedad control possession for spells, Lo Celso will likely drop deeper than intended, exposing him to duels he does not relish. He has a history of rash decisions under pressure, and given the stakes for both teams, this encounter could see him resorting to fouls in transition. Considering the context and his playing style, backing him to receive a card has strong reasoning.

Sergi Altimira to be Carded

Operating in the centre of Betis’s midfield, Sergi Altimira is tasked with breaking up play and covering large spaces. Against a side like Sociedad, who will aim to dictate rhythm through sharp passing and wide combinations, his workload will be significant. In recent matches, he has not shied away from firm tackles, and his eagerness to halt counter-attacks increases the likelihood of cautions.

Altimira is relatively new to consistent first-team football at this level, and inexperience often manifests in positional errors that lead to fouls. Facing technically gifted opponents such as Oyarzabal and Marin, he will need to intervene frequently. His central role leaves him little protection, and Betis’s high defensive line may leave him exposed when play breaks quickly. Considering Sociedad’s ability to draw fouls in midfield and Altimira’s combative approach, a booking for him looks entirely feasible in this match-up.
