Team News

Real Sociedad
Sevilla
  • Mikel Oyarzabal is injured and could be replaced by Umar Sadiq up top, who is still waiting for his first La Liga goal in the current campaign.
  • Kieran Tierney could return to the side, having trained with the squad over the international break as he recovers from his muscle injury.
  • Nemanja Gudelj is suspended and will miss out. Sergio Ramos returns from injury and will slot right back into defence on Sunday.
  • Marko Dmitrovic will step in for the injured Orjan Nyland.
  • Boubakary Soumare should continue in the hole position as he continues to impress since his late move form Leicester City in the transfer window.

Prediction

  • Visitors Sevilla earned a well-deserved point last time out in the El Gran Derby, and will be looking to put their boost of confidence to good use on the road against Real Sociedad. Sociedad themselves are building back to form following a busy schedule and an inevitable injury problem stemming from domestic and European football.
  • Brais Mendez, Mikel Merino, and Kieran Tierney could all return to the starting eleven for the hosts - a rested squad since the international break should bolster Imanol Alguacil and his squad's chances of breaking into the Champions League spots. A win would move the Basque side within four points of fourth if Atletico Madrid were to fail to win against Rayo.
  • As solid as Sevilla have been recently, they're strongest at home. Sociedad should edge over the line on Sunday.
