As the 36th round of Spain’s top flight approaches, both sides will be eager to secure crucial points in the closing stages of the season. Expect a vibrant atmosphere in Donostia-San Sebastián as fans flock to support their teams in this mid-table showdown.
How are both teams coming into this?
Real Sociedad currently sit 11th in LaLiga with 43 points after a recent draw in their last outing. Under Imanol Alguacil, the hosts have been solid at the Reale Arena, remaining unbeaten in their last four home matches. Key contributors like Mikel Oyarzabal and Brais Méndez will look to dictate play and unlock Celta’s defense.
Celta Vigo arrive following a 2-1 defeat against Real Madrid, leaving them hovering just above the bottom three. Los Celestes have shown flashes of inspiration, particularly through the veteran leadership of Iago Aspas, but their away record has been patchy. A strong defensive display will be vital if they are to leave Basque Country with a positive result.
Our forecast
Considering Real Sociedad’s robust home form and Celta Vigo’s inconsistencies on the road, our forecast leans towards a narrow victory for the hosts. The home side’s balanced attack and disciplined backline should edge out a win in a tight affair.
With both teams likely to adopt a cautious approach, backing Under 2.5 goals presents good value. For bettors seeking a bit more risk, a Real Sociedad -1 Asian Handicap could also prove rewarding at the right odds.
