Real Sociedad to bounce back at Espanyol
3099

At the beginning of the season, Real Sociedad were in red hot form. However, La Real’s form has dipped slightly of late, with injuries to key players affecting results.

On Saturday afternoon, Imanol Alguacil’s team have the chance to get back to winning ways as they visit the RCDE Stadium to take on Espanyol.

Espanyol have experienced mixed fortunes in La Liga since winning promotion back to the Spanish top-flight last season.

However, Vicente Moreno’s team head into this game having won just one of their previous five games in the Spanish top-flight.

Last time out they suffered a 1-0 derby defeat at Barcelona. In reality, they should have got something from the game, but missed a host of good chances on Xavi’s debut as Barcelona head coach.

One man who was off form at the Nou Camp was Spanish international, Raul De Tomas. However, the 27-year-old has been potent in front of goal this season in the Spanish top-flight, finding the net on seven occasions in La Liga.

Real Sociedad suffered just their second defeat in all competitions last time out, as La Real suffered a 2-1 defeat against Monaco in the Europa League.

The defeat ended a run of 17 games without defeat in all competitions.

However, it also meant that the side from San Sebastian have now won just once in their last five competitive games.

Despite too many draws of late in La Liga, they have drawn four of their last seven games in the Spanish top-flight, Imanol’s charges are second-place in the Spanish top-flight table, just a point behind league leaders Real Madrid, who have a game in hand.

Forebet predicts that Real Sociedad will get back to winning ways by recording a victory in a relatively low-scoring encounter.
