Real Sociedad vs Espanyol Prediction

Real Sociedad Form

In has been a bit of everything for Real Sociedad in their previous three matches, where they first beat Girona by 3-2. This was followed by a disappointing 2-0 defeat against Real Madrid, before an encounter with Valencia produced a 1-1 draw. Real Sociedad managed to win two of their past six home matches in the LaLiga. In the remaining four, they drew one and lost three, as they scored five and conceded seven goals.

Espanyol Form

Espanyol look back on their last three matches with two victories to show for their efforts. Against Osasuna, they were left empty-handed in a 2-0 defeat, but they bounced back by beating Las Palmas in a 2-0 win. They followed that up with a 2-1 win against Atletico Madrid in their most recent outing. In their last six away matches in the LaLiga, Espanyol won twice, while also recording one draw. They endured three defeats in this run, with a scoreline from these matches saying seven goals conceded and nine scored.

Real Sociedad find it tough these days to get a goal in, but Espanyol are equally lacklustre in front of goal currently, and going with under 2.5 goals in the betting market is the obvious choice.
