La Liga. Round 29
Stadium: Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan (Seville)
Sunday matches of the Spanish La Liga round 29 will feature an encounter between Sevilla and Real Sociedad. This match is one of the centerpieces of the day. The contenders for a place in the European competition are to face off, though it's hard to call the opponents direct competitors, because of the difference in the points scored.
Sevilla form
Knocked out of the Europa League by West Ham, Sevilla approaches the match against Real Sociedad. That's quite an unpleasant thing. Not only did they lose in the end to the English, their direct rivals in the UEFA rankings, but also to a club that has always had problems in the international arena, which is doubly unpleasant. Sevilla are now forced to concentrate on domestic tournaments, specifically La Liga, and winning second place in La Liga. It is doubtful that the southerners can compete for the title, given that the gap between Real Madrid and Sevilla is 10 points. Sevilla's home stats are second in the division, with 10 wins in 13 games, three draws, and a goal difference of 28-11.
Real Sociedad form
After being relegated from the Europa League, Real Sociedad played four matches in La Liga, winning three games with one away defeat by Real Madrid. This stretch saw victories over Osasuna, Mallorca, and Alaves. The Basques took advantage of a favorable schedule to improve their tournament position. Before the start of the round 29 matches on Sunday, Real Sociedad sits 6th in the La Liga standings, with an asset of 47 points and 4 points behind Atletico. On the road, Real Sociedad has the 8th stats in the division, five wins in 14 matches on a goal difference of 18-23.

Expert Betting Tips
Sevilla have had a very busy schedule of late. In March, the southerners played four matches, winning only once against West Ham in the Europa League. The Basques dropped out of the European Cup at the previous stage and for some time now they have been concentrating solely on La Liga. Let's not forget that Sevilla played 120 minutes against West Ham in London on Thursday. Real Sociedad is unlikely to mind a draw, the Basques will play defensively, and after all, the Royals noticeably added to the defense in March, which had an impact on the results. In turn, Sevilla may lack the banal freshness for a confident victory; the southerners will not oppose a narrow victory, say, 1-0. As the first option, we suggest you bet on Total Under. Total Under (2.25) for 1.75 from 22bet.
As for the outcome, we are on the side of the guests. The past week was too difficult for Sevilla while the Basques had a chance to get well prepared for the most important match against the southerners. On the road, Real Sociedad performs quite well, has the eighth statistic in the league. There is a feeling that the Basques will at least not lose, and it definitely won't be surprising if they manage to win. H2 (0) for 2.68 from 1xbet.
The third bet is the correct score. Sevilla has been scoring goals with great difficulty lately, and Real Sociedad, as written above, has made thorough preparation for the match against the rival. In order to achieve the necessary result, Real Sociedad needs to play perfectly in defense and not to concede if possible. This is the only way to bring three points from Sevilla. Correct Score 0-1 for 9.00 from Bet365.
