Real Sociedad vs Osasuna prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups – February 6, 2025
In the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey, a clash between Real Sociedad and Osasuna will take place. The match is scheduled for Thursday, February 6, with a kickoff at 19:30 CET. I am offering a prediction on the winner of this game.
Match Preview
Real Sociedad boasts a talented squad, but they rarely impress their fans with high-scoring performances. In La Liga, the team has scored only 18 goals in 22 matches, sitting in 11th place.
However, Sociedad has been solid defensively, conceding just 19 goals. Despite this, they have suffered 10 losses. The club from San Sebastián will look to salvage their underwhelming season by making a deep run in the Copa del Rey, where they have a good chance of reaching the semifinals.
Osasuna has shown more stability in the current campaign compared to their upcoming opponents. The team from Pamplona confirmed their form by defeating Sociedad in La Liga over the weekend.
Two years ago, Osasuna reached the final of the Copa del Rey and will likely be eager to repeat that feat. Facing them in the quarterfinals is a solid team, but not one of the traditional giants like Real Madrid or Barcelona. Osasuna has already proven they can beat Sociedad, so we expect an exciting game.
