Real Sociedad vs Athletic Bilbao Predictions

• Real Sociedad have won three of their last four home meetings with Athletic Bilbao
• The visitors have lost seven of their 13 away games this season, including a 3-2 trip to Sociedad
• The hosts have won four of their last six games

In-form Sociedad to seal victory

Real Sociedad won 1-0 at Athletic Bilbao in the first leg of this Copa del Rey semi-final last month, continuing their fantastic run of form. The hosts have won four of their last six games after their 1-0 victory at Mallorca over the weekend, and they can get one over on their rivals once again.

It’s been a tough year for Athletic Bilbao, who sit ninth in La Liga. They’ve lost seven of their 13 league trips this term, including a 3-2 defeat in their league visit to San Sebastian.

Sociedad have won three of their last four home meetings with Athletic, and they haven’t lost any of the last four meetings between the pair. They can build on their first-leg win with another slender victory, and secure their place in the Copa del Rey final.
