Aston Villa - Real Sociedad: Prediction, facts, betting tips and H2H - July 28, 2026
On Tuesday, July 28, we will see a clash between Aston Villa and Real Sociedad as part of their pre-season preparations. I have a bet in mind for this game.
Aston Villa - Real Sociedad: Match preview
The Birmingham side finished fourth last season and secured a place in the UEFA Champions League, and they have now begun their pre-season preparations. Villa have played matches against Walsall, whom they beat 5-0, but lost 1-2 to Porto in their most recent game. Unai Emery's side have three more matches ahead of the official start of the season. In just two weeks, they will face PSG in the UEFA Super Cup. After that, they will play another friendly before beginning their new Premier League campaign on August 23.
Real Sociedad could not secure a particularly high position in the 2025/26 season, finishing tenth. However, the Basque side won the Copa del Rey and managed to qualify for the UEFA Europa League. The Spanish team have now begun their preparations for the new season and have already played three friendlies. They started with a defeat to Pau, followed by a draw with Racing and a 2-1 victory over Wolverhampton. The Basques still have plenty of matches ahead of them: four in total. They will also begin their new season at the end of August, facing Real Betis on August 21 in the opening round.
