It’s a battle of two teams that are prone to low-scoring encounters, with Real Sociedad welcoming Athletic Bilbao on Sunday in a La Liga matchday 34 fixture. This match at Anoeta Stadium between the 10th-placed La Real and the fourth-placed Lehoiak comes with our prediction of under 2.5 goals.
Sociedad’s 42 points put them two points behind the top eight slots, as they chase European qualification. Athletic have 60 points and have a five-point lead over Villarreal in the race to qualify for the Champions League.
A 1-0 away loss at Deportivo Alaves extended Sociedad’s slide, as they now have just one point from the last three league games. Another loss here could push them farther from a top eight finish and thereby European action for next season.
The challenge is to revive their home form that has landed just one win in their last five competitive fixtures at this venue (W1, D1, L3).
Athletic lost 3-0 at home to Manchester United in the first leg of the Europa League semi-finals on Thursday. While the next week’s second leg will be a priority, a win here could cement their top-five credentials that guarantees Champions League action.
They will have to work on their away form as Athletic have just one win from their last nine competitive trips (W1, D4, L4).

Our Real Sociedad vs Athletic Bilbao Prediction
Athletic Bilbao will be distracted by the upcoming second leg of their Europa League semis, but take nothing away from their league campaign so far. They have the best defensive record and have consistently kept opponents in check. Sociedad are also prone to low-scoring games, as they kept 12 clean sheets in the season and their aggregate goals are among the lowest. This match could also go the same way, and that’s why our Real Sociedad vs Athletic Bilbao prediction is under 2.5.
