Key Players

The home team, Real Sociedad, will be relying heavily on their star players. Ander Barrenetxea Muguruza, with a rating of 6.96 and 3 goals to his name, is expected to lead the attack. Midfielder Martín Zubimendi Ibáñez and Takefusa Kubo are also expected to make significant contributions with their impressive pass totals and goal-scoring abilities.

On the other hand, Athletic Club will be looking to their key players for inspiration. Midfielder Unai Gómez Etxebarria, with a rating of 6.75, and Mikel Vesga Arruti are expected to control the midfield. Attacker Gorka Guruzeta Rodríguez, who has scored 3 goals so far, will be a significant threat to the Real Sociedad defense.

Recent Form

Real Sociedad's recent form has been mixed, with their last five games ending in LWDDD. They are currently ranked 11th in the league with 6 points. Athletic Club, however, has shown better form, with their last five games ending in WDWWL. They are currently ranked 3rd in the league with 10 points.

Head-to-Head History

Prediction

Given their recent form and head-to-head history, it is predicted that Athletic Club stands a higher chance of winning or drawing the match.
