Real Sociedad vs Espanyol – Sociedad is frantically clinging to sixth place in the league, which also happens to be the last slot in the table that guarantees a place in Europe next season. They currently have a three-point lead over Villarreal in seventh place, although it is not a significant lead.

As a result, the hosts of the day must win. And the fact that they are up against a recently promoted Espanyol, who are trying to maintain regularity, strengthens their cause.

They have had a string of dismal performances and have conceded a large number of goals. They’ve been a mess for a long time, particularly on the road. Most importantly, they have a dismal head-to-head record against this opponent over the last few years.

Real Sociedad vs Espanyol – Betting Analysis

On the last day of the season, Sociedad drew 0-0 with Sevilla on the road. They had won three of their previous five games overall, and they were also on a three-game winning streak in La Liga at home.

They’ve also been one of the best overall teams in Spain’s top flight this season, and they’re vying for a place in Europe.

Espanyol, on the other side, defeated Mallorca 1-0 at home in the previous game week. However, they had lost ten of their previous twelve games overall, and they had also gone six games without a win on the road. It’s also worth noting that in five of their previous six road trips, they’d allowed two or more goals.

Given these considerations, expect Sociedad to win convincingly at home on Monday. Expect a lot of goals against Espanyol’s porous defense. Espanyol has been such a disaster that they have just won once on the road in the league this season.

They haven’t had a single clean sheet on the road in any tournament since May of 2021. In the meantime, Sociedad has only lost twice at home in La Liga this season. Villarreal, the Europa League champions, and Real Madrid were the victims of the defeats.
