Real Sociedad will not have an easy game this Saturday. They host Betis at Anoeta, a team that has recently performed well at the Donostia stadium. Their 2-0 defeat last season was their first at Donostia since October 2019.

Indeed, the green-and-whites have secured points in four of their last five league appearances on the txuri-urdin pitch. This statistic also does not include the emphatic 0-4 victory in the 2021-22 Copa del Rey quarter-finals.

That thrashing reinforced figures that, in the League, led Manuel Pellegrini's team to pick up points at Anoeta for four consecutive seasons. They did so in the 2020-21 season by equalizing a 2-0 deficit at the last minute. They repeated a draw the following season (0-0). And during the 2022-23 campaign, they also managed a last-minute, undeserved victory (0-2 with goals in stoppage time). The streak would then continue with a 0-0 draw in 2023-24, featuring a clear late chance for Sadiq Umar.
