Real Sociedad form and stats

3 victories, 2 draws and 1 defeat. That’s what Real Sociedad, who have the most scored goals (22) in La Liga, have to build on here at Reale Arena in the La Liga.

Sociedad manager I. Alguacil Barrenetxea and his team return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Napoli in the Europa League. 0-0 away at Deportivo Alaves before that.

The hosts are favourites to win this game, with an estimated chance of about 55-60% of that outcome. Earlier Sociedad matches with similar probabilities have ended with two wins, one draw and three defeats (from six games).

There will be little rest for Sociedad after this match as they are travelling to Barcelona for a La Liga game in only three days.

Sociedad have proved capable of finding the net in their games here at Reale Arena with 10 goals in 6 league matches. Defensively Sociedad have been outstanding, conceding less than half a goal on average per home game in the league (3 in 6 games). For more goal stats, check the Statistics tab above.

SD Eibar form and stats

The visitors are W3-D1-L1 on the road this term. That's in the La Liga.

293 minutes! That's how long the Eibar goalkeeper Marko Dmitrovic and his defense have shut out their league opponents.

There were no winners in SD Eibar's previous match, a La Liga home game that ended 0-0 vs Valencia (placed 13th). Preceding that game was the away victory against Real Betis with the score of 2-0.

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 Eibar playing away, we found five games. Results were one away win, two draws and two home wins.

There might be some complaints about the fixture list from the Eibar manager J. Mendilibar Etxebarria as the team has another away game coming up in only four days, this time against Racing Rioja.

Eibar are scoring more than one goal per away game on average, having accumulated 7 away goals from 5 games (in the league). They concede less than a goal on average per away game (4 so far).

Head 2 Head

As for the last ten games between these two teams, there's four Sociedad victories, three draws and three SD Eibar wins. Over/under statistics; seven of these games ended with three goals or more, three matches with two goals or less.
