The story

Champions League bound Betis host Sociedad in opener

Real Betis begin their Champions League qualification campaign at the Estadio de La Cartuja against a Real Sociedad side desperate to erase a poor pre-season run.

Match news & current form

Real Betis enter the 2026-27 campaign with high expectations after finishing fifth last season. Manuel Pellegrini’s side enjoyed a productive pre-season, highlighted by a 3-1 victory over Arsenal and a 4-0 thrashing of Lyon, though they stumbled in their final outing with a 1-0 loss to Inter Milan.

Real Sociedad arrive in Seville under pressure after losing four of their seven summer friendlies, including their last three matches against Toulouse, Köln, and Chelsea. Currently sitting 14th due to alphabetical standings, Pellegrino Matarazzo’s men face a daunting start with Real Madrid looming in their next fixture.

Head-to-head history

The historical record is closely contested, with Real Sociedad holding a slight edge with 49 wins to Betis's 43 across 124 meetings. However, Betis have been dominant at home in Seville, winning 34 of the 62 encounters hosted there. The most recent competitive meeting ended in a 2-2 draw during the latter stages of the 2025-26 season.

All eyes will be on Betis's Cucho Hernández to lead the line, while Sociedad will look to new addition Carlos Soler to spark a midfield that struggled during the summer.
