Real Sociedad - Deportivo team news and expert analysis
The San Sebastián club made a poor start to last season, but climbed to 10th place after changing coaches. They could have finished higher, but switched their focus to the cup in the spring — and won it. That brought not only a trophy but also a place in the Europa League. The Spaniards began their campaign there with a home defeat to Bournemouth. They have also been losing more often than not in the domestic league this season. However, they did beat Valencia 3-2 away from home, with the decisive goal coming in the 90+ minute.
The team from La Coruña returned from the third tier just two years ago. Last season, they were already among the Segunda Division's leaders, earning direct promotion to the "top flight." And now they have lost only to Sevilla, while even beating Valencia and Villarreal. In the most recent round, they drew 1-1 with Betis, equalizing in the 87th minute.
The cup holders are currently scoring 1.29 goals per game in La Liga, while conceding 1.86 — half as many more — at their own end. The unexpectedly impressive newcomers are averaging 1.43 goals scored and conceding considerably fewer, at 1.14 per match.

All three most recent meetings, played in 2017 and 2018, were won by the footballers from San Sebastián.
They are also being tipped to win this time, but Aubameyang and his new teammates have their own weapons — it is worth considering the "both teams to score" market (odds — 1.77).
