In the match of the 6th round of the Spanish Championship, the players of Real Sociedad and Espanyol will come face to face. Which of the rivals will get the victory in this confrontation? Our sports portal gives a forecast for this game.
Real Sociedad
"Basques" broke into the new season of the Spanish championship not in the best way. In 5 matches played, San Sebastians were able to earn only 7 points. Thus, by the time of writing the forecast, Real Sociedad was located on the 12th line, with a gap of three points from the European Cup zone. As part of the Europa League group stage, Real Sociedad managed to hold two meetings, where they alternately beat Manchester United (1-0) away and were stronger than Omonia (2-1) on their own field. With six points, the hosts are at the head of their quartet.
Espanyol
"Parrots" will fight for survival this season. At the moment, the team from Barcelona is on the 16th line in the table, having 4 points in its asset. The gap from the TOP 6 is 6 points, so nothing is lost for the team of today's guests. It should be noted that the only victory of Espanyol took place in the penultimate round, when the club from Barcelona defeated Athletic Bilbao on the road (1-0). As part of the last round, the Catalans lost to Sevilla on their own field with a result of 2:3.
Statistics and figures:
- Real Sociedad - the favorite of the meeting;
- The Basques have won three times in 5 matches;
- Espanyol has 3 wins in 5 previous confrontations;
- The last face-to-face meeting of the rivals ended with a score of 1-0 in favor of Real Sociedad.
Forecast
