Real Sociedad vs Villarreal prediction, H2H and probable lineups - November 30, 2025
One of the fixtures of La Liga's 14th round will take place on Sunday at the Anoeta Stadium in San Sebastián, where the local side Real Sociedad will host one of the league leaders, Villarreal. I suggest betting on a high-scoring scenario in this encounter, as the chances for goals are strong.
Match preview
The Basque club is gradually emerging from a slump, picking up momentum in recent weeks. Their win over Osasuna marked their third victory in four rounds, extending their unbeaten streak to five matches—enough to lift Sociedad into the middle of the table. However, defensive issues remain a concern: the team hasn't kept a clean sheet in seven consecutive La Liga matches, exposing vulnerabilities at the back.
The home record is also mixed: the club alternates between successes and setbacks, but continues to entertain fans with goals—at least two goals have been scored in each of the last five games at Anoeta. Although injuries in attack have limited their options, the team still regularly creates chances and finds ways to breach opponents' defenses.
The visitors are enjoying a powerful spell and are firmly in the title race. Villarreal's winning streak in La Liga has reached four matches, and in the last round they snatched all three points against Mallorca in a tough battle. The Yellow Submarine boasts a consistently dangerous attack—scoring in nine consecutive rounds—while also maintaining one of the league’s most reliable defenses this season.
On the road, Villarreal play with little compromise—always pushing for victory, as evidenced by three wins and two draws in their last five away matches. Nevertheless, despite their solid back line, they do concede away from home, and their proactive style opens up space for their opponents.
Probable lineups
- Real Sociedad: Remiro, Aramburu, Martin, Ćaleta-Car, Muñoz, Soler, Gorrotxategi, Zakharyan, Guedes, Mendez, Oyarzabal
- Villarreal: Junior, Navarro, Marin, Veiga, Pedraza, Pepe, Partey, Comesaña, Moleiro, Moreno, Perez

Prediction
The form of both teams and recent statistics point to a high probability of goals at both ends. Sociedad attack with intent at home but struggle to keep clean sheets, while Villarreal are clinical up front but prone to defensive lapses.
