CONCLUSION

Overall, the structural indicators point toward Real Betis holding the stronger pre-match profile. Power rankings give Real Betis a 2.2-point edge. External projection is Real Sociedad 37.4%, draw 26.8%, and Real Betis 35.8%. That projection profile diverges from the structural signals, so execution is likely to decide the result. The balance of play should hinge on execution in transitions and set-piece phases.
