REAL SOCIEDAD V ESPANYOL PREDICTIONS AND PREVIEW: BETTING STATS AND FACTS

Real Sociedad had a solid midtable finish of 12^th last year and they are looking to match that this time round but in a very tight la liga they are finding it difficult.  They are currently in 15^th place with 10 points from 9 matches in a 3-1-5 record.  Their home form has been their main plus point with all 3 wins coming at home and they have back to back home games to try and amass more points.  Only one of their home matches this season has finished with over 2.5 goals.

Espanyol are having a tough season so far and are in 19^th place in la liga with just 6 points from 9 matches.  They seem to have found some form lately however and are unbeaten in all of October with two draws and a win.  They will hope to carry this form into November and drag themselves out of the relegation zone.  Only 1 of their last 5 matches has ended with over 2.5 goals.

TEAM NEWS AND RUN OF PLAY

This is a battle between two teams who are really struggling for form this season and will both be involved in a relegation battle unless they can improve soon.

Sociedad had a strong start to the season and won their first 3 home matches.  Their away form has been the problem though picking up just 1 point out of a possible 15.  If they can continue to win at home then things would be fine but when they come up against strong teams they’ll start dropping points, as they did in a 1-0 loss to Atletico.

Espanyol have a selection headache with 2 players suspended for this one, Victor Sanchez and Forlin have both picked up 6 bookings and miss this game.  Their away form has been terrible this year with just 1 draw from 5 matches.  Another loss in this game could see them fall further away from safety.

REAL SOCIEDAD V ESPANYOL PREDICTIONS: 1X2 BETTING PREVIEW

Sociedad are favourites here and with their strong home form and Espanyol’s terrible away form I think it is justified.

William Hill are best price with 1.95 offered on a home win which I think is a great price.

REAL SOCIEDAD - ESPANYOL PREDICTIONS: ASIAN HANDICAP PREVIEW

The AH market also feels that a Sociedad win is odds win with the handicap set at Sociedad -1 at 1.91 with Pinnacle.

With this bet being the same as the 1x2 market you are better sticking to the William Hill price above for better value.

REAL SOCIEDAD - ESPANYOL PREDICTIONS: TOTAL GOALS PREVIEW

Sociedad have seen their last 5 matches average 2.2 goals per game, while Espanyol have seen theirs average 2.4.  Neither team are prolific in front of goal so the under is a strong favourite.

I think the market has went too far that way however and think there is some value on offer from Ladbrokes who have Over 2.5 Goals at a generous 2.1
