The La Liga clash at Reale Seguros Stadium on Sunday sees Real Sociedad hosting opponents Espanyol. The last time the pair played each other Real Sociedad came away as 1-0 winners, and rest assured they have a similar outcome in mind on Sunday.

The last time Real Sociedad played Espanyol, they booked three points to their account and look well primed to secure another win this coming Sunday.

Real Sociedad vs Espanyol Prediction

Real Sociedad added two wins to their account in their three most recent outings, as they beat Manchester United by 0-1. Their next match left them empty-handed in 2-1 defeat against Getafe, followed up by a 2-1 win against Omonia Nicosia. In their last six La Liga matches at home, Real Sociedad have one win, while they've drawn two and lost three.

They were regarded as contenders for a medal, but to achieve that Real Sociedad will have to raise their level.

In their previous three outings, Espanyol lost 1-3 against Real Madrid, beat Athletic Bilbao 0-1 and lost 2-3 against Sevilla. In their last six La Liga away matches, Espanyol failed to win more than once. In stead, they've drawn two and lost three, scoring five while also conceding ten times.

Espanyol have their target set on sneaking inside the top six of the La Liga this season, and they have the qualities to at least a finish inside the top third.

Bookmakers have Real Sociedad down as rather big favourites for the win, when Espanyol arrive at Reale Seguros Stadium. While it might prove problematic, we still believe they will come through and deliver.
