Real Sociedad

The "Basques" currently occupy the sixth position in La Liga. After 25 matches, they have accumulated 40 points and are still in contention for European spots. Their lead over the seventh place is just one point. Additionally, Sociedad is competing in the UEFA Champions League playoffs. In the first leg of the Round of 16, they suffered a 2-0 defeat against PSG, diminishing their chances of advancing to the quarterfinals. In their last five matches, they have suffered two defeats, drawn twice, and secured only one victory.

Villarreal

The "Yellow Submarine" sits mid-table, positioned 13th after 25 rounds with 26 points. Villarreal also participates in European competitions, but they will start their journey slightly later, from the Round of 16 of the Europa League. In their previous matches, they have won once and drawn four times.

Interesting facts about the match and head-to-head history

Real Sociedad vs Villarreal prediction

This match promises to be intriguing and evenly contested. Sociedad benefits from the home ground advantage, while Villarreal boasts a solid unbeaten streak. However, in my opinion, Sociedad holds greater motivation. They have nearly lost their chances of reaching the Champions League quarterfinals, thus they will likely focus on the domestic league. My bet is on Sociedad's victory at odds of 1.74.
