Real Sociedad Eye Home Win as Osasuna Visit Reale Arena

Real Sociedad will be looking to return to winning ways in La Liga when they host Osasuna at the Reale Arena on Saturday.

The Basque side come into the match following a goalless draw in the first leg of their Copa del Rey semi-final against Celta Vigo, but their focus now shifts back to the league where they occupy a position in the promotion zone.

Solid Sociedad Hold the Advantage

Sociedad boasts a strong recent record, losing just twice in their last 20 games across all competitions. They are also unbeaten in five of their last six league matches, highlighting their consistency and form. The home advantage further strengthens their position, as they have lost just once at the Reale Arena so far this season and are unbeaten in 19 of their last 20 home matches across all competitions.

Osasuna Struggling on the Road

Osasuna, on the other hand, are in a different situation. They have lost four of their last six matches, including their last two league games in a row. Their away form is also concerning, with three defeats in their last five away matches. Additionally, they failed to score in two of their previous three road trips.

Head-to-Head Favors Sociedad

Historically, Sociedad has dominated Osasuna in their encounters. They are unbeaten in eight of the last 10 head-to-head clashes, with eight of the past 10 meetings at the Reale Arena witnessing under 2.5 goals scored.

Prediction: Home Win with Low Scoring Affair

Considering Real Sociedad’s strong home form, their recent performances, and their dominance in head-to-head records against Osasuna, a home win appears to be the most likely outcome.

Additionally, given the low-scoring nature of their recent matches, a game with under 2.5 goals is also a reasonable prediction.

Therefore, our prediction for the match is a 1-0 win for Real Sociedad with under 2.5 goals scored.
