Goals to flow as European hopefuls clash
These are two of the stronger teams in La Liga, and both are blessed with quality in the final third. Real Betis can count on Ez Abde and Antony out wide, while the fit-again Isco could make a big impact this term. Meanwhile, Real Sociedad have a reliable goalscorer in the shape of Spain forward Mikel Oyarzabal.
The Basque club were one of the best teams to watch from a neutral perspective last term. 79% of their away league games saw both teams score. Six of their seven pre-season friendlies have done likewise.
Three of Real Betis’ final five pre-season outings served up four goals. They always aim to play on the front foot at home under Manuel Pellegrini. Backing over 3.5 goals with an implied probability of 25% could be the smart bet.
- Friday Bet of the Day: Over 3.5 goals @ +300
