Villarreal - Real Sociedad betting tips and odds

Though the home team can be called favourites, they can’t quite relax going into the match at Real Sociedad. Their advantage is quite narrow, and just a few mistakes could end up costing them the game.

The visitors are aware of the challenge that awaits them. To come out on top against Villarreal on their own field would be a major achievement, and it is always a tough task.

The hosts faced off against Osasuna in the previous round, which was a relatively favourable matchup considering they also played away. Most bookmakers online expected the game to be relatively close, but we instead saw complete domination by Villarreal, who were leading throughout the game and ended on a decisive 0:3 score.

The last home win we saw from Real Sociedad surprised no one. They had a clear advantage in form and played on their home turf against Elche, so the decisive victory was predicted by almost every expert who paid attention.

With 6 goals in their previous 3 La Liga matches, Villarreal’s attacking players have been seeing a lot of success and top bookmakers online are backing them to continue the trend.

One way or another, Team from San Sebastian’s recent outings can’t really be considered spectacular. The latest 5 of them ended with 2 or fewer goals on the final tally.

We’re at round 27 already, and The Yellow Submarine managed to win a grand total of 41 point so far. This puts them 4 points below a Europa League qualification, so winning a challenging matchup such as this one will be a great boon.

Real Sociedad are just 20 points between the top position in the standings, meaning they are well on their way to a Champions League qualification. Experts are sceptical of their chances to close the gap this Sunday, though.

This is the second time these two teams will clash as part of the current La Liga season. La Real won the first time around, though it was a rather close victory and most bookies are expecting this match to end differently.

To make things even more difficult for the visitors, they’ve had an unfortunate run of injuries recently. Elustondo, Martín Merquelanz, Umar Sadiq have all been put out of contention, leaving the team’s coach with a more limited set of options at his disposal.

A confirmed Under 2.5 Goals market seems like a foregone conclusion for this particular match. The only thing to do now is to decide whether the relatively short 1.7 odds are worth your time. We would say they are because this bet manages to have real betting value as well.
