Real Sociedad de Futbol S.A.D.
Last week, Real Sociedad de Futbol S.A.D. were unable to put up a fight against Real Madrid (1:4). That heavy defeat was the Basques’ first in the Primera since May 2025. More importantly, the home team saw their seven-match unbeaten run in the Spanish league come to an end (4 wins, 3 draws), having previously last lost back in mid-December. Real Sociedad de Futbol S.A.D. remain eighth in the standings, but the gap to the European places has increased to four points. A whole group of rivals are closing in from below, with Athletic Bilbao level on points but below on tie-breakers. Another slip-up could see Real Sociedad de Futbol S.A.D. drop back into the bottom half.
- Both teams scored in nine of the Basques’ previous La Liga matches.
- The club have conceded in 18 straight matches in this competition.
- Real Sociedad de Futbol S.A.D. scored at least two goals in six of their last eight home matches in the Spanish league.
Potential Real Sociedad de Futbol S.A.D. Lineup (4-2-3-1)*
Alejandro Remiro - Igor Zubeldia, Jon Martin, Jon Aramburu, Aihen Munoz - Jon Gorrotxategi, Yangel Herrera - Wesley, Carlos Soler, Pablo Marin - Mikel Oyarzabal.
Midfielder Brais Mendez has served his suspension. Midfielder Arsen Zakharyan could return after injury. However, due to fitness issues, midfielders Luka Sucic and Takefusa Kubo are still not ready for the match.
Real Oviedo S.A.D.
Real Oviedo S.A.D.’s last La Liga outing ended in a home defeat to Athletic Bilbao (1:2). The away team were in front at half-time, but ultimately failed to hold on even for a draw. Real Oviedo S.A.D. have lost three of their last four league matches; across the last 15 rounds, the Asturians have managed just one win and collected 10 points. As a result, the club still sit bottom of the table. They are nine points adrift of 17th place, although it is worth noting that Real Oviedo S.A.D. have a game in hand. The main problem remains their lack of goals: in the current Primera season, the Asturians have scored only 13 goals, by far the fewest in the competition.
- The team conceded in five of their last six La Liga matches.
- Real Oviedo S.A.D. won with a (+1.5) handicap in six of their last seven matches in the Spanish league.
- At least two goals have been scored in each of the Asturians’ last five away matches in the Primera.
Potential Real Oviedo S.A.D. Lineup (4-2-3-1)*
Aaron Escandell - Javi Lopez, Eric Bailly, David Carmo, Nacho Vidal - Santiago Colombatto, Kwasi Sibo - Hassem Hassan, Ilyas Chaira, Alberto Reina - Federico Vinas.
First-choice defender David Costas is unavailable due to injury. Midfielder Santiago Colombatto is suspended.
Real Sociedad de Futbol S.A.D. vs Real Oviedo S.A.D.: Match Prediction
Real Sociedad de Futbol S.A.D. suffered a heavy defeat against Real Madrid in their previous match, but it has not caused any major damage. Prior to that trip to face one of the giants, the home team had gone seven La Liga rounds without losing, with four of the last five matches in that run ending in victory. Now, the Basques return to their home ground, where the club have avoided dropping points in three straight Primera matches in front of their own supporters.
This time, the league’s weakest side are travelling to San Sebastian. Real Oviedo S.A.D. are trying to climb off 20th place, but their efforts so far have not been enough. The Asturians win extremely rarely, and in three of their last four La Liga matches they failed to collect a single point. Their away form can be considered one of the team’s biggest issues: across their last six away Primera matches, Real Oviedo S.A.D. avoided defeat only against Deportivo Alaves (1:1).
Most likely, another away defeat awaits the visitors. Our pick is a Real Sociedad de Futbol S.A.D. win.
