Real Sociedad will face Espanyol in gameweek two of La Liga at the Reale Arena this Sunday, August 24. La Real are 12th while Pericos are seventh in the standings. Check out our match prediction below.
Real Sociedad failed to get into the top half of the standings last season, finishing 11th with 46 points, which was their worst campaign since 2018-19, when they ended in ninth place.
Txuri-Urdin started the season with a 1-1 draw against Valencia last week, with Takefusa Kubo finding the net in the 60th minute. They have now won only one of their last nine league games (W1 D3 L5).
This will be the host's first home league game at Reale Arena this season. However, they won their last La Liga home match 3-2 against Girona back in May, and then went unbeaten in three pre-season games (W2 D1).
Meanwhile, Espanyol managed to keep their place in the top-flight, ending last term 14th in the standings with 42 points after returning to La Liga from the Segunda Division.
The White and Blues got off to a fantastic start this term, coming back to beat Atletico Madrid 2-1 at home last week, thanks to second-half goals by Miguel Rubio and Pere Milla.
The visitors had a very poor away record last season, winning only three of their 19 league games on the road (W3 D3 L13). They’re also winless in their last eight visits to this venue.

Our Real Sociedad vs Espanyol Prediction
With no European competition to worry about this season, Real Sociedad’s primary focus will be to get back into the top five, and these are the types of matches they need to win in order to achieve their goal.
However, the hosts have only won one of their last nine league games and failed to score in six of those. Espanyol, on the other hand, were awful on the road last season, and given these teams’ respective records, we feel the first goal in this match could turn out to be the winner. Our Real Sociedad vs Espanyol prediction is both teams to score (NO).
