Real Sociedad vs Villarreal Prediction & Betting Tips (23 February)

Deprived of dessert against PSG at the Parc des Princes during the first round, defeated 2-0, Real Sociedad was able to react immediately in the championship by getting the better of Mallorca on the road 1-2 and thus putting an end to a sad period of five games without scoring TCC and especially three championship games without success. This success at La Palma also allowed the Basques to recover 6th place in La Liga at the expense of Real Bétis who were held to a draw by Deportivo Alaves last weekend. On the other side of the median, coached by Marcelino ex-OM, the Yellow Sub Marin seems to have found a semblance of better in recent weeks by remaining undefeated for five days of the championship but has four draws in this run, this which is not adequate with the primary objectives of the club, which remains, a European qualification.

Finally, the only victory in the league since the start of the calendar year came at Barcelona in a breathtaking 3-5 match. Last weekend, Villarreal held Getafe to a 1-1 draw at home.

Real Sociedad has not been spared from injuries this season. We cite crucial boys like Munoz (starting left-back), right-back Odriozola (ex-Real Madrid) without forgetting the captain, Mikel Oyarzabal (8 goals in La Liga) and rotation boys like Carlos Fernandez, Becker (arrived this winter of Union Berlin), Elustondo or even Tierney (Arsenal, loaned for the season). Against Mallorca, Kubo, very good against PSG, scored his 7th goal in La Liga while Merino also scored (2 goals, 3 assists in La Liga). Opposite, Villarreal will probably make the trip without serious injuries such as Foyth (right-back starter), Denis Suarez (midfielder, rotation), Pino (cruciate ligament rupture) and Terrats (meniscus rupture).

Hit in an ankle, Pedraza (important) is also receiving treatment (OUT this evening). To talk about the forces present, let's talk about the scorers, Moreno (10 goals in the championship) and the Norwegian international, Sorlöth (8 goals, 4 assists) or even the winter recruit, Guedes (loaned by Wolverhampton for the second part of the season ).
