Which Games Are Most Likely To See Penalties?

3y ago

With the battle for a place amongst the top-four heated up at the moment, Real Sociedad will be required to maintain performance levels if they are to maintain their fourth-spot. With the likes of Getafe, Atletico Madrid and Valencia lurking around the corner, Imanol Alguacil’s charges cannot afford any slip-ups.

Playing host to newly-promoted Osasuna this Sunday, Real Sociedad have been presented with a pretty good chance of bagging all three points to steer clear of the chasing pack. However, they will be required to be at their best to clinch maximum points.

Head coach Imanol Alguacil will be reiterating the need to avoid complacency when squaring-off against this foe on Sunday night. Given everything goes according to plan for the home side, they should be celebrating victory at the sound of the final whistle.

Real Sociedad vs Osasuna Team News

Heading into every game with that winning mentality, Real Sociedad have gradually cemented their place as one of the best teams in the La Liga this season. Even though they haven’t found it easy, they have managed to bag important points to remain within top-four reckoning.

When faced with the task of defeating a struggling Eibar side on the last match-day, Real Sociedad duly delivered the win to continue their impressive winning streak. They refused to let complacency creep in as they kept performance levels up, right from kick-off until the final whistle.

Eibar set out to frustrate the Whites and Blues as they got stuck-in at the back, thwarting every single Sociedad attack. However, a goal from the spot in the 16^th minute gave Alguacil’s men the lead. Another goal in the second-half put the game to bed as Real Sociedad squeezed out a narrow 2-1 win.

Osasuna, on the other hand, managed to defeat basement club Espanyol, piling on the misery for the Catalan club. Osasuna’s Roberto Torres got the all-important goal in the 51^st minute to clinch maximum points for his side.

For this fixture, Real Sociedad will be gunning for nothing but a victory to retain their spot amidst the elite top-four. They have been in red-hot form in recent games, losing just one of their previous five league games.

Barring the 1-0 loss to Barcelona few games ago, the Whites and Blues are on a seven-game winning run across all competitions. More impressively, they head into this game off the back of a four-game winning streak.

For a newly-promoted side, the visitors have been pretty decent this season. However, they have not been very impressive in recent games with five losses from their previous seven games across all competitions. Also, with a record of three defeats from their preceding four away games, it is fair to say Osasuna have been mediocre on the road.

Real Sociedad vs Osasuna Predictions

The home side hold a 12-point lead over Osasuna on the standings, showing their superiority over Arrasate’s charges. Given their recent winning streak, Real Sociedad have to be considered favorites for the win. Also, we are very unlikely to see many goals in this fixture. As such, expect a home win with no more than a goal between both sides at the end of the ninety minutes.
