Athletic Club vs Real Sociedad Prediction

Athletic Club Form

Their last three matches saw Athletic Club drawing 0-0 with Valencia, losing 3-1 against Levante before beating Getafe by 4-0. Athletic Club managed to win two of their past six home matches in the LaLiga. In the remaining four, they drew three and lost one, as they scored ten and conceded five goals.

Ambitions are high for Athletic Club, and winning the title is still possible, but they need to raise their level to achieve the highest prize.

Real Sociedad Form

Real Sociedad are in awesome shape going into this next encounter, as they won their last three matches on the bounce. Malaga got left behind in a 2-5 win, before Lillestrom got hammered in a 0-6 victory. Levante was the most recent victim in a 2-1 win for Real Sociedad. Real Sociedad managed a decent return of three wins in their last six LaLiga away matches, in which they scored 13 while also conceding 12 times. They also experienced one draw and two defeats.

Real Sociedad are among the title candidates in the LaLiga again this season, and first place is still within reach.

Though favourites for the win, we are uncertain the current form of Athletic Club backs this claim. We believe there is good value in Real Sociedad, perhaps with the backing of the draw.
