Real Sociedad vs Celta de Vigo - 08/01/2022

Real Sociedad are on a pitiful run of form in La Liga heading into matchday 21. The Royal have failed to win a match in their last six league fixtures and Imanol Alguacil desperately needs the team to get a victory over Celta Vigo.
The Sky Blues head to the Basque Country in 12th place in the La Liga standings. Seven points separate Celta Vigo from the relegation zone, but Eduardo Coudet’s team is undefeated in three straight matches going into the weekend.
Celta Vigo claimed a shock 2-0 win against Real Betis last weekend. Coudet will expect more positive results for the Sky Blues as they push up the standings.
Real Sociedad are seventh in the La Liga standings. Two pints currently separate them from the Champions League qualification places. Sociedad took the fewest points in La Liga across the last six matches with a mere two from 18 points possible.
The Royal scored just two goals in those six matches with 11 being conceded. Celta Vigo, on the other hand, picked up 11 points from the last 18 points available to them. They were +4 in goals with nine goals scored and four conceded.
Real Sociedad won 2-0 against Celta Vigo earlier this season. Alexander Ishak scored in the 54th minute and Aritz Elustondo added a second goal in the 79th minute.
The Royal have won three straight games against Celta Vigo but two of those matches were on the road. Celta Vigo have won three of their last 10 matches played against Real Sociedad.
The Sky Blues posted a record of 3W-1D-6L against Real Sociedad across the teams’ last 10 meetings in all competitions. However, Celta Vigo are an in-form team going into the fixture at the weekend. Meanwhile, Real Sociedad are struggling for victories.
Real Sociedad manager Alguacil has five players on the injured list going into the fixture. Ander Barrenetxea is ruled out until late January. Defender Antoni Gorosabel is a major doubt due to testing positive for COVID-19. Alex Sola, Nacho Monreal, and Carlos Fernandez are all doubts.
Coudet has three players on the injured list as Renato Tapia is ruled out of the match. The manager could have Thiago Galhardo and Augusto Solari back from their latest injury issues for the fixture.
Celta Vigo have drawn five of their 19 league matches this season. Meanwhile, Real Sociedad have drawn six of their 19 games.
With Sociedad’s form being terrible and Celta Vigo slowly improving, this game should end in a score draw between the La Liga rivals with under 2.5 goals scored.
