Real Sociedad
Real Betis
- The shift in balance in the Basque country was completed with Sociedad's 3-1 rout at San Mamés last week, the last time the ground will ever host such a fixture.
- Holding midfielder Gorka Elustondo is fit again; however, he is unlikely to warrant a starting position.
- The only real decision for Philippe Montanier is who the main striker will be. Both Carlos Vela and Imanol Agirretxe scored in the derby, and the former Arsenal man has played more this season.
- With Real Betis having not scored in six hours of football, Jorge Molina needed just 30 seconds to start the ball rolling against Málaga, and three 1st half goals destroyed their local rivals.
- Rubén Castro should return to the starting eleven, though he may be pushed out wide with the other attacking players finally getting amongst the goals.
- Paulao is back from suspension, though the clean sheet and the scoring problems amended means the club are unlikely to make too many changes.
