Villarreal and Real Sociedad will clash in the Spanish La Liga on Sunday night at Estadio de la Ceramica. Villareal will look to shake off their unpleasant form, which has seen them win only one of their last three matches. The Yellow Submarines are coming off a hard-fought 1-1 draw against Alaves on the road, with Nikolas Pepe scoring their only goal in the 98th minute. This draw means that they’ve now fallen 2 points behind the third-placed Atletico Madrid.
Real Sociedad, meanwhile, is seventh in the La Liga standings with 38 points. They leapfrogged Espanyol to this position after getting a resounding 3-1 victory over Osasuna at home last weekend. Their Portuguese winger, Goncalo Guedes, was on fire in this matchup, scoring a brace to take his league tally to 8 goals. The 29-year old has also made 4 assists this season. He’ll be key in helping his side secure a European football spot.

Our Villarreal vs Real Sociedad Prediction
We expect a thriller between two sides that are almost evenly matched this season, with Villarreal being the -124 betting favorite. The hosts are one of the most attacking sides in La Liga after creating 60 big chances this season. They’ve also made 125 shots on target, which is good enough to be in the top 6 in the standings. Real Sociedad, on the other hand, have created 53 big chances while taking 135 shots on target. These statistics prove that we shouldn’t expect either side to hold back in attack. The head-to-head statistics favor Villarreal, though, with only one defeat in their last four meetings. Overall, we see a close encounter with the hosts edging it 2-1.
Our prediction for Villarreal vs Real Sociedad: Both teams to score.
