Real Sociedad form and stats
4-3-2 (win-draw-lost) are the La Liga numbers at home for Real Sociedad so far this season. Two defeats in a row at home hurts for Sociedad, their manager Alguacil Barrenetxea and the supporters. There are certain expectations for improvement.

The attacking player Oyarzabal was announced as "man of the match" for Real Sociedad with the rating of 9.2/10. Oyarzabal scored two goals, hit two key passes and dribled past the opponent 2 of 2 times.
A 1-1 draw away in the La Liga before that, with Deportivo Alaves the opponent.The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent.
