Real Sociedad vs Villarreal Prediction and Match Preview

• Real Sociedad lost just once in the past 13 league matches and will enter this match following a 1-2 win against Mallorca.
• Villarreal is on a five-match unbeaten streak, but four of them were draws, which is worth enough noting.
• Real Sociedad owns the second-best defensive line this season and has a good offensive line this season.

Real Sociedad’s consistency in sealing unbeaten outcomes helped them to maintain their spot at the top six in the standings. They were unbeaten in 11 of the past 13 league matches. Do also note that they have kept a clean sheet in three of the past five league matches. As a result, they have climbed into sixth in the standings.

Although they follow all these above mentioned strong stats, their match-up with Villarreal at 12^th in the league table won’t be that easy. The visiting Villarreal is on a five-match unbeaten streak in the league at present. Considering all the observations, we expect a tight match-up between the two on Friday at Reale Arena.

Recent Meetings

• Real Sociedad has won three of the past four head-to-head matches against Villarreal.
• The reverse fixture ended in a 0-3 win for Real Sociedad and it was the second clean sheet victory recorded by Sociedad in the past three h2h clashes.

Real Sociedad vs Villarreal Prediction

The visiting Villarreal has an unimpressive offensive display in the league of late. Also, the Real Sociedad defense helped their team to seal four clean sheets in the past eight league home matches. In addition, Villarreal has a poor away form in the league, as they were winless in six of the last seven league road trips.

In that case, we like to start with the Real Sociedad to win as the main pick for this match. The under 2.5 goal involvements of both with a solid defensive line of Sociedad reckons us to suggest the under 2.5 goals and both teams to score no tip as an alternative.

Moving on, Real Sociedad has scored goals at a rate of one per game at home of late. Their low-scoring trend with a clean sheet possibility inclines us to back a 1-0 correct score tip in favor of the Sociedad side as the final tip for this match.
