Only a win will satisfy the Real Sociedad supporters in this clash with Huesca, having a healthy lead on the opposition in the La Liga table.
The hosts Sociedad saw competitive action as recent as three days ago, playing in the Europa League. At least it's nice to return home after that away game at Rijeka.
Real Sociedad form and stats
The story so far in the La Liga for Real Sociedad, who have the most scored goals (10) in La Liga, at their home stadium is 1 win, 1 draw and 1 defeat.
The Sociedad goalkeeper Alejandro Remiro Gargallo is looking to record 90 more "clean sheet" minutes as his team have now played 195 minutes without conceding a goal in the La Liga.
A good away victory last time out for Sociedad, who won 1-0 against Rijeka. In the game before, an away victory in the La Liga match versus Real Betis with a 3-0 scoreline.
The victory against Rijeka came after Jon Bautista's winning goal. The Sociedad manager I. Alguacil Barrenetxea was very happy afterwards with the decision to bring on that player in the 85th minute. Some amazing scenes last match, when Jon Bautista scored the winning goal three minutes into stoppage time.
The betting market estimate that the home team has about 55-60% chance of winning this match. There could be betting value if you think differently, so to help you here are the stats from Sociedad's earlier matches at home being 55%-60% favourite: Played six games, won two matches, drawn one and lost three.
The match schedule is unforgiving for Real Sociedad as they have a new game in only four days, a Europa League match thankfully also at home. Napoli are visiting.
Sociedad are certainly not overdoing their scoring at home in league matches, having created 3 goals in 3 games. Defensively Sociedad have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (1 in 3 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.
Huesca form and stats
Huesca are doing rather OK so far in their away games in the La Liga, having played 3 games and collected 3 points (0 wins, 3 draws and 0 losses). Huesca has showed their ability to avoid defeat with four draws in a row, but are also dodging victories. They last avoided the draw 35 days ago, in the Cádiz fixture. One point away has become something of a habit for Huesca who have played out draws in their last three away games.
Huesca's last game ended in a draw, the home match versus Real Valladolid that finished 2-2. A 0-0 draw at Elche's stadium before that.
A comeback secured a 90 minute draw in the match against Real Valladolid. Huesca were trailing 0-2 but refused to surrender and clawed their way back to 2-2, with Sandro Ramírez scoring the equalizer. The draw against Real Valladolid came from a losing position. The Huesca manager M. Sánchez Muñoz brought on Sandro Ramírez as a substitute and the player scored to make the scores level.
As mentioned above, the odds for this match puts the home team as favourites. Perhaps this eases the pressure on the away team, who are capable of producing an upset here on a good day. Looking at earlier matches with similar odds and Huesca playing away, we found two games. Results were one away win, one draw and zero home wins.
Many goals are not expected from the visiting Huesca as they have only managed to score 2 times from 3 away games in the league. It's not easy to score on Huesca as they have only conceded 2 goals from these away games.
