Preview
Villarreal and Real Sociedad face at Camp El Madrigal, in a match for the 1st round of the Primera División. The head‑to‑head history at this stadium, favours the home team, since in the last 8 head‑to‑heads they won 5, tied 2 and lost 1. Accordingly, in the last head‑to‑head played at this stadium, for the Primera División, on 27‑01‑2018, Villarreal won by (4‑2). Víctor Ruíz (5' ), Pablo Fornals (17' ), C. Bacca (20' ) and Samu Castillejo (34' ) scored for Villarreal and Diego Llorente (24' ) and Willian José (58' ) for Real Sociedad. Both teams register significant differences between home and away results, so the home/away factor is worth atention.

Analysis Villarreal

This is the first match in this edition of the competition for the home team, that ended the previous edition of the lower division in the 5th position and got the promotion. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses in away matches, with 21 goals scored and 24 conceded; against 8 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses at their stadium, with 24 goals scored and 19 conceded. They come to this match after a away win against Werder Bremen by (2‑3). Villarreal has won 5, tied 3 and lost 2 of the last 10 home matches. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 9 of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 9 of the last 10 matches. In their home matches there is a tendency for goals, since 47 of the last 54 matches have ended with Over 1,5 goals.

Villarreal never managed to win the Primera Division (Spanish Championship), having as the campaign of greater prominence the vice in the season of 2007/08. Last season, the team finished the national championship in fifth position, qualifying for the Europa League, twelve points behind fourth place. In the last five games that Villarreal played at home, counting friendly and official matches, in four of them were scored more than 1.5 goals by the teams. We believe that in this match, because it is the first round, Villarreal will look for a good win inside their stadium to get a good start to the Spanish Championship. For being a duel between two teams with qualified attacks, Villarreal will make one more busy game, where they will have opportunities to score goals, but that can also be leaked, since the opponent has its qualities.

Confirmed Lineup: Sergio Asenjo, Mario Gaspar, Álvaro González, Ramiro Funes Mori, Pedraza, Santi Cazorla, Manu Morlanes, Pablo Fornals, Santiago Cáseres, Karl Toko Ekambi, Gerard Moreno.
Coach: U. Emery Etxegoien.

Analysis Real Sociedad

The away team makes its debut in this edition of the competition, after having finished 12th last season. This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 2 wins, 4 draws and 9 losses in away matches, with 10 goals scored and 18 conceded; against 9 wins, 1 draw and 5 losses at their stadium, with 37 goals scored and 21 conceded. In their last match, for the Club Friendlies, they got an away tie against Freiburg by (1‑1). In the last 10 away matches Real Sociedad has won 2, tied 2 and lost 6. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded at least one goal in each of the last 10 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 7 of the last 10 matches.

Real Sociedad is a team that has been twice the champion of the Primera Division, the last in 1981/82, the team was still champion of the Copa del Rey in 1986/87 and champion of the Super Cup of Spain in 1982/83, in addition to other titles. The team finished in twelfth place last season, having twelve of its nineteen away games had more than 1.5 goals. Now in this debut of the Primera Division 2018/19 against Villarreal, we believe we can have a match with more than 1.5 goals, mainly with goals from Villarreal, but also with chances to Real Sociedad.

Confirmed Lineup: Gerónimo Rulli, Theo Hernández, Zaldúa, Llorente, Héctor Moreno, Zubeldía, Mikel Merino, Illarramendi, Rubén Pardo, Mikel Oyarzabal, Willian José.
Coach: I. Alguacil Barrenetxea.
