Our prediction for the match Real Sociedad vs Villarreal
Last season, “The Txuri-Urdin” finally returned to the Champions League. And the club did well there, winning the group and reaching the play-offs. Still, it had a rollback in the Primera: taking only 60 points, the club finished in 6th position. “The Submariners” failed even more, especially at the start. The return of Marcelino to the coaching position stabilized the team’s performance, but 53 points gave an opportunity to stay only in 8th place, without a ticket to the European tournaments.
However, “the Yellow Submarine”, having thus simplified the schedule for this season, is going through it quite successfully. It goes without saying that there are misfires. For instance, the club missed the chance to continue the battle for the cup trophy in the struggle with modest Ponferradina. Nevertheless, 30 points after 18 matches played resulted in 5th place at the end of 2024. The team from San Sebastian had a very difficult start, both at the inner and international arenas. Still, then the club was able to win both previous games in the Europa League. As for the championship, there was a striking stretch, with 6 victories in 9 rounds from mid-autumn. As a result, the club, even after it ended the year with a goalless draw in the confrontation with Las Palmas and a 0-2 score in the struggle with Celta, still remained in the European tournament zone. Having got 25 points, the team is leading the group of contenders for 7th position. Speaking about the cup confrontation with Ponferradina, a quiet victory was taken.
Alguacil’s footballers are playing incredibly boringly. They score 0.9 goals per round, while conceding even less – 0.72. The guests’ statistics are twice as high, but in both parameters, the ratio is 1.89/1.67.
