On the other side, Real Madrid had 11 attempts at goal with 5 of them on target. García (5'), Júnior (25', 48') and Federico Valverde (31') scored for Real Madrid.

Real Sociedad haven’t had any problems with scoring, finding the back of the net in each and every one of their last 6 matches.

They have managed to rack up 12 during that time and have conceded a total of 9. That kind of trend might not be carried forward into this game, of course.

Going into this one, Real Sociedad are undefeated in their previous 4 home league matches.

🗞️ Team News: Real Sociedad

It’s our opinion that Txuri-urdin may well use a 4-2-3-1 system with Alex Remiro, Jon Aramburu, Jon Martin, Duje Caleta-Car, Sergio Gomez, Benat Turrientes, Jon Gorrotxategi, Goncalo Guedes, Carlos Soler, Pablo Marin and Mikel Oyarzabal.

🗞️ Team News: Real Oviedo

There’s a good chance that Carbayones could decide to begin the game with a 4-2-3-1 formation, starting the game with Aaron Escandell, Nacho Vidal, Eric Bailly, David Carmo, Javi Lopez, Kwasi Sibo, Nicolas Fonseca, Haissem Hassan, Alberto Reina, Ilyas Chaira and Federico Vinas.

🔮 Prediction

Our thinking is that Real Sociedad will probably be able to create a good number of chances & successful shots on target.

However, Real Oviedo are also probably going to find it difficult to get a goal of their own but we do think that it’s more than likely that they will be converting at least once.

Therefore, we are anticipating a comfortable 3-1 margin for Real Sociedad at full-time.
