The match this coming Thursday has all the makings of a tight battle as Real Sociedad and Celta Vigo look to bag a crucial win in the process.

Real Sociedad go into their next LaLiga match, scoring a humble average of 1.3 per game in their last ten matches. They scored a mundane 13 times, while conceding 19. That amounts to an average of 1.9 per game, where they kept their opponents from scoring zero times.

In their last three games, Real Sociedad lost 1-0 against Real Betis, got defeated 4-1 by Real Madrid before winning 2-1 against Espanyol. Real Sociedad only pulled off two wins from a possible six in recent LaLiga matches on home soil. Of the remaining four matches, they drew two and lost two, as they scored 12 and conceded 11 goals.

Real Sociedad had their sights set on the LaLiga title, but current form sees them way off track. A quick upturn is needed.

In their last six away matches in the LaLiga, Celta Vigo won twice, while also recording two draws. They endured two defeats in this run, with a scoreline from these matches saying six goals conceded and six scored.

A mid-table finish seemed likely for Celta Vigo but in current form they could be dragged into a relegation battle.

Real Sociedad claimed one win, zero draws as well as two defeats in the LaLiga this season. Celta Vigo enjoy a record of zero wins, one draw and two defeats in the LaLiga.
