SEV vs RS Fantasy Preview:
Sevilla will be a happy team at the moment with the wind in their sails as their last defeat came in December against a formidable Real Madrid. Their last four matches have seen them winning three while the one with Real Betis ended on level terms. The impetus for Julen Lopetegui will be the resolute show that his rearguard has been putting up until now as their opponents have had an extremely hard time to put the balls past them into the net.
Real Sociedad has also been on a decent run until recently they contracted friction with only one victory from the last four games that still leaves them buoyed in the 4th place of the points table. Despite boasting an excessively airtight defence, their firepower hasn’t really been shining for a while and this is exactly what will be intensifying the frown on the face of Imanol Alguacil.
This is going to be a lip-smacking encounter considering the fact that both the teams will be raring to register a victory for themselves which will be catapulting them a good deal forward in the long race of title contention. A victory for Sevilla will give them a good deal of chance to move in touching distance of the Catalans and Real Madrid. These are our fantasy picks for the upcoming fixture between Sevilla and Real Sociedad in La Liga 2020-21.
