Real Sociedad vs Girona Prediction & Betting Tips (18 May)

There will be no European Cup next season for the Real Sociedad which remained on participation in the Champions League 1/8th final last year and in the Europa League this season 1/8th finals. This 2024-2025 exercise was therefore disappointing for the Basque training which can still consider fighting for the top 10. There will be change next year since Imanol Alguacil will leave his function as a coach. This year, the Basque club has never been able to sublimate and it also stagnates on a very sad series of 6 days without success for a record of 4 defeats and 2 games. Defeats that occurred against Mallorca at home 0-2, on the pre-of-Alaves 1-0 and in the two previous days against Atlético de Madrid 4-0 and, this week, facing Celta Vigo 0-1.

 Same catchphrase at Girona who will not replay a European competition after her first historic participation in the Champions League this season. Author of an extraordinary exercise last year, the Catalan club has never been able to put itself in tune this season, the fault of course for too many crucial departures at the offseason. Nevertheless, Girona has just offered two important victories for the maintenance against Mallorca 1-0 and on the lawn of Valladolid 0-1 this week. Meanwhile, the Blanquivermells had logically sold against Villarreal 0-1. 

We were talking about important departure to Girona, but what about that of Mikel Merino in Arsenal or Robin Le Normand at Atlético last summer. Two key eleves of the major eleven never replaced. On the other hand, the Japanese international Take Kubo has strongly disappointed (only 5 goals in Liga) while Captain Mikel Oyarzabal was able to wake up in the second part of the season (8 goals, 2 passes in Liga). The interesting Icelandic Oskarsson is injured like the defender Aguerd. Too often absent this season Becker and Zakharyan will also be absent in the same way as Munoz (holder left side) which is suspended. The flame of maintenance has been reinforced and especially maintained by the Vertéran Stuani (38 years old), top scorer of this team with 10 goals.

He also scored the only goal of the meeting on the lawn of Valladolid at the end of the bench this week. Boys like Gil, Danjuma, Abel Ruiz and Miovski have greatly disappointed. What can I say about Tsygankov who has not been as impactful since the departure of his Ukrainian compatriot Dovbyk last summer. For this evening, the coach of Girona, Michel, will be able to rely on Krejci and his titular environment Yangel Herrera again who were both suspended against Valladolid. On the other hand, he will have to go from Bryan Gil, the disappointing van of Beek, Artero, Miguel Gutierrez and Mischouy who are injured. The probable compositions for Real Sociedad - Girona:

• Summary: Real Sociedad is going head to head with Girona FC starting on 18 May 2025 at 17:00 UTC at Reale Arena stadium, San Sebastian city, Spain. The match is a part of the LaLiga .
