Sporting Lisbon vs Real Sociedad Prediction and Betting Tips | 25th July 2023

The pre-season features a match between two big Iberian names this week as Sporting Lisbon lock horns with an impressive Real Sociedad in an interesting encounter at the Estadio Algarve on Tuesday.

Sporting Lisbon finished in fourth place in the Primeira Liga standings and have been fairly impressive over the past year. The home side played out a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Genk last week and will need to take it up a notch in this match.

Real Sociedad also secured a fourth-place finish in the La Liga table and have managed to step up to the plate in recent months. La Real slumped to a 3-1 defeat at the hands of Osasuna in their previous game and will need to bounce back this week.

Real Sociedad have an excellent squad at their disposal but have been inconsistent in recent weeks. The Basque side has a few issues to solve and will need to make the most of its pre-season games in the coming weeks.

Sporting Lisbon have been impressive in recent months and can pack a punch on their day. Real Sociedad are the better team on paper, however, and hold a slight upper hand going into this game.
