Game Prediction
Spain will not give its fans a complete break this week. The teams are playing here again as part of the Copa del Rey, and the schedule of the 1/8 stage will be especially busy on Wednesday. “The Basque” derby should be exciting: Osasuna vs Real Sociedad. The website contains the author’s prediction for their match on January 17, 2024.
Osasuna has been introduced to several new tournaments in the current season
“The Pamplonians” extracted some kind of dividends from the previous season, which was so successful for them. As the 7th team of the Primera in 2022/2023, it went to the Conference League (there was also the Champions League, but the representative of Spain got acquainted only with the new European tournament) – however, it all ended with a defeat made by the very first opponent, Brugge, there. And there was a trip to Saudi Arabia, to the Super Cup, this week. However, everything ended with the expected 0-2 score in the struggle with Barcelona. Generally speaking, the temporada is mediocre. Everyone talked about a decline after the previous rise, but Jagoba Arrasate’s team got an average point per match. And the progress did begin at the end of December and in January – there happened victories over Rayo Vallecano and Almeria.
Real Sociedad is focused on playing in the Champions League
“The Txuri-urdin” has been good in recent years. The current mentor (and a former trainee of the club), Imanol Alguacil, took the long-awaited trophy in the form of the Spanish Cup. And speaking about the previous season, he, not on the first try, managed to achieve the coveted 4th, “Champions League” place. This opportunity is used to the highest possible quality. The representative of Spain won its group, despite the fact that Inter, the finalist of 2023, was among the rivals in the quartet. At the same time, it is reasonable to mention that the energy is wasted and this reverberates at the inner arena. Moreover, now Girona and Atlètic have taken off, pushing Sociedad out of the top 4. Recently, there was a derby with “the Basques” in Bilbao, which resulted in a defeat – 1-2.
Previous head-to-head matches
Alguacil and his players won 5 official matches against their neighbours in a row. Still, the opponents played a 1-1 draw at the beginning of December.
