Real Sociedad and Celta de Vigo have both delivered a "par" performance so far, to use a golfing expression. Both hold mid-table positions in the La Liga.

Insights:
  • Celta de Vigo have the most matches over the total-line (19) in La Liga

It's no vacation for neither Sociedad nor Celta de Vigo as both were in action only a few days ago. Expect some tired legs on the pitch and/or possibly some changes to the lineups.

Real Sociedad form and stats

When playing at home in the La Liga, Real Sociedad have managed 6 wins, 6 draws and suffered 4 defeats from 16 games.

Preceding that game was the away draw at Valencia that finished 2-2.

The hosts are modest favourites in this match, with the bookmakers estimating the chance of a home win at about 50% +- five percent. It's interesting to look at how Sociedad have performed under similar circumstances, so here are some numbers: When modest favourites like this (we found eleven games) they have won five times, drawn three and lost three.

Sociedad are traveling soon after this match as the La Liga match at SD Eibar awaits in four days.

Sociedad have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Reale Arena with 26 goals in 16 league matches. It's been trouble in front of goal recently, as only 3 of these goals has been scored in their last three home matches. On the other hand, Sociedad have conceded 19 goals.
