RS vs RB Dream11 Team Prediction Tips for La Liga Fixture Real Sociedad vs Real Betis 23 January

RS vs RB Dream11: Real Sociedad welcome Real Betis to the Reale Seguros for what will be their second meeting in the La Liga. Real Sociedad won convincingly in the reverse fixture with a score-line of 3-0. Since then, Sociedad has had a roller-coaster season including an unbeaten run in the league followed by a 6-game drawing streak and a 3-game losing streak. They now have 2 wins in their last 5 games and will look to get some stability back into their side with a win over Real Betis. Just 4 points behind Sociedad, Real Betis are in 8th place and are currently on a 4-game winning streak which will ensure that they travel to the Basque region more confidently than their counterparts. A win for the Green and Whites can reduce the gap between the 2 sides to just 1 point, while a loss can extend the gap to 7 and this will be an added incentive for them.

Sergio Canales – The in-form Sergio Canales has done very well and scored 5 goals in his last 3 starts for the club. He also linked up well with Nabil Fekir to score both the goals against Celta Vigo in their last game. He was also the man of the match in 2 of the last 3 games he has played.
