The 2023-24 edition of La Liga returns to the fold with another round of matches this weekend as Sevilla lock horns with an impressive Real Sociedad side in a crucial clash at the Anoeta Stadium on Sunday.
Real Sociedad vs Sevilla Preview
Real Sociedad are currently in sixth place in the La Liga standings and have stepped up to the plate so far this season. The home side eased past Almeria by a convincing 3-1 scoreline last week and will be confident ahead of this fixture.
Sevilla, on the other hand, are in 14th place in the league table at the moment and have been inconsistent over the past year. The Andalusian giants were held to a 1-1 draw by local rivals Real Betis in their previous game and will need to take it up a notch this weekend.
