Real Sociedad will be looking for their first La Liga points of the season as they welcome Espanyol to the Anoeta Stadium. After defeat in their first two matches, away at Real Betis and Real Madrid, Sociedad will be hoping their first home match of the season will yield them at least a point. They could find it tough against an Espanyol side who have started their campaign reasonably well. Los Periquitos beat Levante 3-0 in their opening game, though followed that up with a home defeat to Real Madrid.
This match represents Espanyol's first away game of the season. Their away form last season wasn't particularly spectacular, winning just five away from the RCDE Stadium. Having said that, they're up against a side who are on a shocking run of form. Txuri-urdin has lost their last six matches, incuding preseason friendlies. We have to go back to April for Sociedad's last La Liga victory, a poor run that has lasted 10 games. The Copa del Rey winners need a serious improvement on their league form if they're to avoid being rooted to the bottom of the Spanish top flight standings.
Real Sociedad do have the upper hand in head-to-heads over Espanyol, winning four and drawing two of the last six meetings. Both teams have scored in five of the last six head-to-heads, for our prediction we're expecting a similar story here.

Our Real Sociedad vs Espanyol Prediction
If Real Sociedad lose again, it will signify a disastrous start to their La Liga campaign. Espanyol do have the quality to beat them, but similarly Sociedad have enough to cause their opponents problems too. At a push, we'd say a draw or an Espanyol win. We're more confident, though, in predicting that both teams will find the net in this one.
Our prediction for Real Sociedad vs Espanyol is: Both Teams To Score
