Espanyol and Real Sociedad Are locked on 45 points in La Liga ahead of their final day meeting. Two straight wins after an 18-game winless run have saved Espanyol’s season ahead of Sociedad’s visit. In four of these teams’ last five meetings, both scored, and as they play without any pressure, another BTTS prediction could pass.

Hosts Espanyol are coming off only their 12th league win of the season. They couldn’t add to their three clean sheets in 10 matches, as they played to a 2-1 win against Osasuna.

Their reverse meeting with Sociedad ended 2-2, denying them a clean sheet in this fixture in six straight meetings.

Real Sociedad went into a slump right after winning the Copa del Rey. That victory definitely came with assurance of European football, but Sociedad’s push literally died after that.

They will be hoping for one final positive result to wrap up their season, and facing Espanyol should be a good sign. Real Sociedad are unbeaten in six meetings with Espanyol.

However, in the reverse fixture, their five-game winning run in this matchup was halted. In the six meetings, though, Espanyol only failed to score twice.

Sociedad are coming from their 14th loss of the season, having fallen 4-3 at home to Valencia. Sociedad have the league’s worst defensive record after conceding 60 goals.

Our Espanyol vs Real Sociedad Prediction

At 118, Real Sociedad’s matches have produced the most goals in La Liga after Barcelona’s 127. The difference is that Sociedad are so far the league’s poorest defence. It has been rare for Sociedad to go without conceding, but they’ll want to take advantage of Espanyol’s defence, with the hosts only managing three clean sheets in 10.

Though Espanyol haven’t conceded as many goals as Sociedad, they aren’t the best defensively. As such, our prediction for Espanyol v Real Sociedad is BTTS.
