Real Oviedo vs Real Sociedad Prediction & Picks - LaLiga

Prediction published on 8/30/25, 9:39 AM  by Erik Gibbs in LaLiga Picks

Real Oviedo return to LaLiga action as they host Real Sociedad in this early-season clash, looking to steady themselves after a rough start. Promoted over the summer, Oviedo’s opening fixtures have highlighted the difficulties of adjusting to top-flight competition. They suffered a defeat on opening weekend, unable to find the net and conceding two goals.

Their second game was even more grueling when Oviedo were punished with a steep three-goal defeat which further highlighted their shortage of cutting edge and exposed vulnerability at the back. Points had not been won and five goals lost in their first-two games, so Oviedo come into this game with a need to show some sort of comeback. Confidence had not been high throughout, and recent tough games leading up to last season identify a troubling trend of losses.

Real Sociedad, meanwhile, made a more steady if not sparkling start to the campaign. They started with a hard-earned away draw before repeating the feat in an open 2–2 encounter. To date, Sociedad are still without a win but demonstrated immense resilience in coming back in their second game.

They defend extended but their attack seems sharp and capable of creating chances. Preliminary results place them in mid-table range but their form is solid compared to their rivals. Although Sociedad have occasionally faltered away from home, their early unbeaten record is encouraging, and their head-to-head record against Oviedo gives them further confidence.
