La Liga: Real Sociedad vs Sevilla Odds and Betting Preview

SAN SEBASTIAN, SPAIN - It is the proverbial six pointer in the Basque region of Spain this Monday night as seventeenth places Real Sociedad host twelfth placed Sevilla with just two points separating the sides and Sociedad just one point ahead of the relegation zone. Sevilla are very narrow favourites for the game, priced at 17/10 (bet £10 to make £17 profit) with Blue Square to pick up their first win in eight games.

A draw is best priced at 12/5 with BetVictor and Real Sociedad can be backed at best odds of 15/8 with William Hill to pick up their third win in six games, which would see them move as high as eleventh in the table.

In the total goals market, over 2.5 goals is priced at 5/4 with Stan James and under 2.5 goals is top priced at 4/6 with BetVictor. Exactly half of Real Sociedad's games have gone under 2.5 goals and only 30% of Sevilla's games have involved less than 2.5 goals.

New Sevilla coach Michel is convinced the club have the potential to do well this season as he prepares for his first test at Real Sociedad on Monday.

The former Real Madrid star took the reins of the Andalusian outfit earlier this week from Marcelino Garcia, who was sacked after last weekend's 2-1 loss to Villarreal. Sevilla have not won in their last seven La Liga games and go into the clash at the Anoeta stadium on the back of two straight defeats.

Alvaro Negredo is the bookies favourite to open the scoring, priced at 5/1 with Paddy Power. In the same market, Agirretxe is best priced at 13/2 with Skybet, Kanoute is top priced at 13/2 with bet365 and Manu is quoted at top odds of 7/1 with Sportingbet to break the deadlock in tonight's game.

Real Sociedad lost 2-1 at Barcelona having previously thrashed Sporting Gijon 5-1. They are just two points behind Sevilla heading into Monday's game. The Basque outfit's coach Philippe Montanier hopes to recover strikers Diego Ifran and Antoine Griezmann in time for Monday's game with both players doubtful with minor injuries.

In the correct score market, a 1-1 draw is priced at 5/1 with Paddy Power, a repeat of Sevilla's 1-0 win in the reverse fixture is best priced at 7/1 with Coral and a 2-0 win for the visitors is best priced at 11/1 with betinternet. A goalless draw is priced at 15/2 with BetVictor and Real Sociedad can be backed at best odds of 13/2 with Betfred to come away with a 1-0 victory.

The game is scheduled to kick-off at 20:00 GMT.
