Athletic Club Real Sociedad betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

The most probable scenario for this match will be for a couple of goals being scored. We expect both teams to prioritize offense over defense, as they both have good offensive power. So, just like their previous match, we expect them to maintain their good form when it comes to finishing attacking plays, so a bet on the over has a lot of value.

Preview
Athletic Club and Real Sociedad face at San Mamés Barria, in a match for the 8th round of the Primera División. At this stadium, the head‑to‑head history favours the away team, since they have a record of 1 win and 2 draws in the last 3 matches. Sure enough, the last time these teams met at this stadium, on 21‑02‑2016, in a match for the Primera División, Real Sociedad won by (0‑1). The only goal of the match was scored by Jonathas (17' ). In this match the home advantage may play an important role, as both teams present significant differences between home and away performances.

Analysis Athletic Club

The home team is currently in the 6th position of the league, with 12 points won, after 4 wins and 3 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in a home match against Sevilla, by (3‑1). In the last match, they lost in an away match against Málaga, by (2‑1). This is a team that is often stronger at home, with the help of its supporters, so they usually make good use of the home advantage, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 6 draws and 5 losses in away matches; against 9 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses at their stadium. They come to this match after a away win against Sestao River by (0‑4). Athletic Club has won 6, tied 1 and lost 3 of the last 10 home matches. They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 6 of the last 7 matches, but their offense has scored frequently, since they have scored goals in 6 of the last 7 matches for this competition.

Athletic Bilbao heads into this match with low motivation after a 2-1 loss away from home against Malaga, putting and end to their streak of 4 consecutive wins, as Aduriz scored their only goal. In this match, coach Ernesto Valverde should use a 4-3-3 formation, prioritising ball possession and paused attacks. Besides, they should use the wings to create their plays, using Williams, a very quick player. Aritz Aduriz is their best scorer with 4 goals scored. For this match, they will be without Aketxe and Boveda, who are both injured. Also, Mikel Balenziaga is suspended.

Confirmed Lineup: Gorka Iraizoz, De Marcos, Lekue, Yeray, Aymeric Laporte, Iturraspe, Mikel San José, Raúl García, Williams, Aduriz, Muniain.
Coach: M. García Toral.

Analysis Real Sociedad

The away team is currently in the 9th position of the league, with 10 points won, after 3 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses. In the penultimate match, they lost in an away match against Eibar, by (2‑0). In the last match, they won in a home match against Real Betis, by (1‑0). This is a team that usually gets better results in away matches than at home, since in the last 30 matches they register 7 wins, 3 draws and 5 losses in away matches, with 21 goals scored and 14 conceded; against 6 wins, 5 draws and 4 losses at their stadium, with 19 goals scored and 15 conceded. In their last match, for the Club Friendlies, they got an away loss against Sporting Gijón by (2‑1). In the last 10 away matches Real Sociedad has won 4, tied 2 and lost 4. Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 5 of the last 7 matches, but their offense has scored consistently, as they have scored goals in 5 of the last 7 matches for this competition.

Real Sociedade heads into this match after a 1-0 home win against Real Betis, in a match where Carlos Vela scored their only goal. In this away match, coach Eusebio should use a 4-5-1 formation, with Willian Jose as their most offensive reference, as he is their top goal scorer, with 3. They show quality in crosses and counter attacks. For this match, they should have the return of Elustondo, who was suspended, but will be without Hector Hernandez, Imanoel Agirretxe and Jon Gaztanaga, who are all injured.

Confirmed Lineup: Gerónimo Rulli, Carlos Martínez, Yuri, Raúl Navas, Íñigo Martínez, Illarramendi, Xabi Prieto, Zurutuza, Willian José, Carlos Vela, Mikel Oyarzabal.
Coach: I. Alguacil Barrenetxea.
