Match Facts:
Real Betis (14th, 27 pts)
- Victor Sanchez del Amo's charges collected a vital victory away to Malaga CF last time out, but now they are raring to return to winning ways on home turf. Although they have been solid at the Benito Villamarin since Victor took charge, you have to go back to 8 January – when they beat CD Leganes 2-0 – for their last win in front of their own fans.
- The corresponding fixture last term finished 1-0 to Betis courtesy of Ruben Castro's 41st-minute strike.
Real Sociedad (5th, 45 pts)
- The side from San Sebastian suffered disappointment on Tuesday, letting two points slip in a 2-2 draw with SD Eibar after succumbing to a last-gasp Pedro Leon equaliser. Having regrouped, Eusebio Sacristan's men will seek to get back on the horse in Seville as they continue to dream of a top-four finish.
- La Real have amassed almost half of their points this season on their travels: 21, to be precise, with seven victories on the road in LaLiga Santander action and just five away losses.
