Prediction: Draw or Real Sociedad to Win
Real Sociedad are 10th in La Liga this season, eight points adrift of Celta. A win here would give them a major boost in their push for European qualification. This will be a tough game for Real Sociedad, however, as they are missing four key players, which will hinder them against a higher-ranked opponent. Celta, meanwhile, secured a hard-fought European win in midweek and could face fatigue issues here. All things considered, a draw looks the most likely base scenario. The Asian Handicap has Real Sociedad at -0.25, and we are happy to give them our backing.
Comprehensive Prediction Analysis
Real Sociedad
Real Sociedad have had a testing campaign to date, but the Basque outfit are in a good place at this moment in time, having put together a six-game unbeaten run, with four of those matches bringing wins.
Pellegrino Matarazzo has made a positive impression since his arrival as head coach, and the 48-year-old was able to guide the team to a 2-1 success over Barcelona last time out, with the Catalan outfit, who are still top of the table, suffering a shock defeat.The White and Blues have moved up into ninth spot in the La Liga table due to their excellent run of form, but they still sit eight points off sixth-placed Real Betis.
Real Sociedad have won four, drawn two and lost four of their 10 home league matches this season, and they will be welcoming a Celta side that have the third-best away record, picking up 18 points from their nine games on their travels.The Basque outfit played out a 1-1 draw with Celta in the reverse match earlier this season, but it was 1-0 to their visitors when the pair met at the Anoeta in La Liga last term.
Real Sociedad will be without the services of Inaki Ruperez and Takefusa Kubo through injury on Sunday, while Yangel Herrera and Arsen Zakharyan are both doubts.Carlos Soler will also be missing for the hosts through suspension, having been sent off in the team's impressive home success over Barcelona last time out.Jon Gorrotxategi is expected to be the player to benefit in terms of a starting role, while there will once again be a spot through the middle for Mikel Oyarzabal.
