Real Sociedad ended a run of four straight defeats on Saturday afternoon by claiming a 0-0 draw in the Basque Derby at Athletic Bilbao but that result means the San Sebastian outfit still remain winless in La Liga since the 5th November.
La Real will be hoping to end that run in their final game of the year when they welcome Sevilla to the Estadio Anoeta on Wednesday evening, and they will be buoyed by the fact that the visitors have been extremely poor on the road this term.
Sevilla's last away match saw them thrashed 5-0 by Real Madrid at the Bernabeu, their fifth defeat in their last six league matches away from the Estadio Sanchez Pizjuan, while Friday night saw them whistled off the pitch after a 0-0 draw at home with Levante.

The draw is available at 5/2 (3.50) in a match which will be live streamed on bet365 for UK-based customers with an active or funded account.
Sevilla's away matches this season have generally seen plenty of goals, with the 16 goals conceded on the road by Eduardo Berizzo's side the fourth-most in La Liga.
Despite the weekend's goalless stalemate at San Mames, La Real's matches remain the most goal-filled in La Liga this term, with their games averaging 3.50 goals.
To this end, backing another high scoring game makes sense, although both teams to score is priced at 1/2 (1.50) and over 2.5 goals offered at just 4/7 (1.57).
Combining those two selections, however, offers more attractive odds of 4/5 (1.80) and there have been plenty of high scoring matches at Anoeta this term.
Indeed, both teams to score and over 2.5 goals has paid out in eight of the last ten home games that La Real have contested in all competitions and has a great chance of doing so once more on Wednesday.
Prices correct at the time of writing. Please gamble responsibly.
