Real Sociedad have been scoring with regularity, but their defensive record has really been letting them down. Against a team like Espanyol, who prefer to keep things tight rather than mount attack after attack, it should be the perfect fixture for Eusebio’s men to get the much-needed three points.

Our Real Sociedad vs Espanyol predictions are based on the visitors’ poor goalscoring record, which makes it very tempting to back the hosts with this weekend’s LaLiga odds, especially given the offensive quality they boast.

La Real will be high on confidence too, after smashing Vardar by a 6-0 scoreline in the Europa League on Thursday evening. Willian Jose scored four as the Basque club travelled to Skopje without a problem.

Real Sociedad vs Espanyol Prediction and Betting Advice

The hosts are unbeaten in their last three matches, winning twice and picking up a home draw against Real Betis, but it is at Anoeta where the problems lie. They can undoubtedly cause problems and score goals, but it is keeping it tight at the other end where they struggle.

Versus Espanyol, they are playing the polar opposite of themselves. Quique Sanchez Flores’ side like to try and keep things tight defensively, before picking their moments carefully to take risks on the counter-attack. It should mean that Real Sociedad have the chance to flex their offensive muscles without having to watch themselves at the back quite so often.

After a 2-0 victory against Deportivo Alaves recently, a team that also like to sit deep and be frustrating, that should have been the perfect preparation for the Basque club for this clash. Ladbrokes offer the best value on the hosts picking up a long-awaited home win in LaLiga.

Our Real Sociedad vs Espanyol bets back the hosts to maintain their excellent scoring run across all competitions. Six goals against Vardar during the week will have maintained their confidence and momentum, with four goals scored last time out at home versus Real Betis. Eusebio’s side only have one way of playing.

Willian Jose scored four times on Thursday and will be hungry for more goals, with Mikel Oyarzabal also in excellent goalscoring form of late. There have been at least three goals in four of Real Sociedad’s last five league fixtures, making 10Bet’s great value look worth backing with regard to there being three clear goals or more this weekend.

Our Real Sociedad vs Espanyol picks suggest that Espanyol will struggle on the road once again, with the Catalan club failing to get firing on their travels. Real Sociedad need three home points to settle the ship, and this should be a great opportunity to do so.
