Real Sociedad vs Athletic Bilbao Prediction

Real Sociedad have won two Laliga matches in a row after a 2-1 defeat over Real Madrid in their fifth game. It was their only defeat this season too. The team will play host to Bilbao following a six-match unbeaten streak in the league.

Athletic Bilbao have a slight edge in the recent tradition too as the team won three of the last four clashes. However, Sociedad is still having a superior form at this stadium following a five-match unbeaten run against Bilbao.

Who will win the match between Real Sociedad vs Athletic Bilbao?

Real Sociedad is having an exceptional form at home for the past several months. They are on a 16-match unbeaten streak at this stadium. Meanwhile, Athletic Bilbao was winless in three of the last five road trips.

Going on, Real Sociedad have managed to remain unbeaten in their recent clashes against Bilbao at this stadium. Therefore, we expect a win for Real sociedad for all the above reasons.

How many goals will be scored in the match?

We don’t expect a goal-fest as neither of these two sides have been successful in recording enough of high-scoring matches at the beginning. Moreover, four of the last six home matches of Sociedad were low-scoring. In that case, we don’t expect goals over 2.5 here.

The same goes for the both teams to score option as these two teams have a strong defensive line this season. Since we expect a win for Real Sociedad, goals are unlikely to come from both ends.

Final Verdict

Real Sociedad is likely to seal a win on Saturday considering all the above mentioned stats including the current form of both at respective patches.

We therefore like to start with Real Sociedad to win at 2.20 odds. While placing it as the main tip, we like to back the under 2.5 goals tip at 1.60 odds.
