Pick:	Real Sociedad +195

Analysis:

Free Soccer Play from Doc’s Sports. Spanish LaLiga Take Real Sociedad +190 over Real Betis (3 p.m. EST, Sunday February 16) (Graded after regulation time - 90min - plus injury time - if game ends in a DRAW we have a LOSER) Great value here on the road club. Real Betis all the sudden has forgotten how to play defense. They had that clean sheet over a Mallorca side that can’t score on anyone right now but in their other recent matches they have allowed 13 goals in four matches, as of this writing Tuesday. That includes three over the weekend against Celta Vigo and also three at home against Alaves. They have only five points in their last six LaLiga matches despite some winnable matches. Real Sociedad has looked good recently and they picked up wins in two straight (LaLiga and Copa del Rey). They are Top 3 in the league for goals allowed this season and we think their dominance on the defensive side gives them a great chance for the upset here on the road. Real Betis has not scored a single goal in the last five meetings, and Real Sociedad won the last two meetings each by a 2-0 score. Very nice value on the road side here. Read More Read Less
