Since the refurbishment of the Estadio Anoeta, which has left their ground looking modernised and impressive, Real Sociedad have failed to win a home match.
The San Sebastian outfit have only managed two draws and two losses in their updated stadium, and Sunday evening sees Sevilla - who are in good away form - make the long journey to Spain's northern coast.
Pablo Machin's side have won three of their five matches on the road and they come into this round of fixtures as the top scorers away from home in the division.
Latest odds
888Sport price a first home win of the season for Real Sociedad at 37/20 (2.85) with Sevilla available at 29/20 (2.45) and the draw at 51/20 (3.55).
Team news
Getty ImagesReal Sociedad midfielder Luca Sangalli suffered a mild stroke this week, although thankfully the 23-year-old is reportedly recovering well. Along with Sangalli, likely to be missing are right-back Joseba Zaldua and midfielder Mikel Merino.
Sevilla meanwhile are waiting to see how top scorer Andre Silva is after the Portuguese forward suffered a knock, although he could still make Sunday's game. Centre-back Simon Kjaer and defensive midfielder Maxime Gonalons will be missing for the visitors.
Preview
La Real have scored in just one of their last four La Liga matches and a lack of firepower has been evident for the Basques in recent weeks.
Sevilla have been in fine goal scoring form particularly away from home and even when they have not played to their best, they have found a way to win matches.
While there could be a case to be made for backing the visitors to pick up three points, perhaps a better angle is investing in them to get among the goals which has proved a profitable strategy in recent weeks.
Tips and predictions
The visitors are priced at 11/10 (2.10) to score over 1.5 goals and this has been a regular winner in their matches this season.
Indeed, this has paid out in each of their last six La Liga games underlying just how impressive they have been in the final third. La Real for their part have conceded over 1.5 goals in six of their ten La Liga matches this term and they could struggle to contain an in-form Sevilla attack.
