Real Sociedad II form and stats

Real Sociedad II's results here at Reale Arena in the La Liga 2 have been very modest with 2 victories, 4 draws and 8 defeats. When Real Sociedad II hosts teams that live in the bottom of the table (like Real Zaragoza, Alcorcon, Amorebieta, Mirandes, Real Sociedad II, Fuenlabrada and Malaga), they have won 1 of 2 matches!

Nothing to worry about in defence for Sociedad, as their goalkeeper Andoni Zubiaurre Dorronsoro has completely shut out the opponents for 180 minutes in the La Liga 2.

Happy days for Real Sociedad II in their previous game, a fixture away at Real Oviedo (placed 8th) that ended with a 1-0 victory. Zubiaurre, who guards the goal, was given a match rating of 8.22 out of 10 in that game. Zubiaurre saved a penalty and topped it up with a clean sheet.

Before that game, the 2-0 home victory against Malaga.

The bookmakers consider this a fairly even contest. One could say only the home advantage separates the teams.
