Espanyol vs Real Sociedad Predictions

• Espanyol are on a run of one win in four matches
• Real Sociedad have won seven of their ten away league fixtures
• Espanyol have picked up only two victories at home in La Liga this season

Espanyol in trouble?

Espanyol are being dragged closer and closer to the La Liga relegation zone, not helped by a 3-1 defeat to Almeria and 1-1 draw with Osasuna in their last two outings.

Diego Martínez’s side, who brought in three players on transfer deadline day, have been particularly poor at home, where they have won just twice in ten attempts, losing on four occasions

They also have a pretty poor record against opponents for this match Real Sociedad, who have won five of the last six meetings between the two sides, including a 2-1 victory in September.

Sociedad in a bit of a rut

Sociedad on the other hand are winless and goalless in three, but you have to take into account that two of those games have been against Real Madrid (0-0) and Barcelona (1-0).

They have in fact got one of the best away records in La Liga, picking up seven victories from ten attempts, losing only to Real Valladolid and Getafe.

Imanol Alguacil’s side, third in the table ahead of the weekend’s action, have kept five clean sheets during that run and will be confident of turning their form around.

I predict that Real Sociedad will win this game, with 1-0 my correct score prediction.
