Real Sociedad, Recent FormReal Sociedad will be happy to have grabbed 3 points in their last match, where they clocked up a 1-0 win in their away outing against Alaves. They achieved 59% possession in that match and had 12 strikes at goal, with 3 hitting the target, up against Alaves' tally of 3 efforts at goal, 0 of which were on target.
Manager Imanol Alguacil will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 11 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 9 goals conceded in the same period. They have been unable to score at home in 3 of their last 6 games; however, so far this season they have recorded 12 clean sheets from 30 games overall.
They have had a good run of form recently, winning 4 out of their last 6 games.
Mikel Merino will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Real Sociedad.
Almeria, Recent FormThe Almeria squad will be looking to reset their fortunes after their heavy 3-0 home defeat at the hands of Osasuna. They came away from that fixture with a 51% share of the possession and clocked up 12 attempts on goal with 5 on target, in comparison to Osasuna, who managed 6 attempts on goal, 4 of which were on target.
It seems pretty certain that Pepe Mel will be quite pleased with his squad's ability to score goals in recent matches, having managed 6 goals in their past 6 outings. In contrast, however, he will be concerned that their defensive qualities look a little more fragile, with 9 goals conceded in those matches and some crucial points dropped. They have scored in 4 of their last 6 away games, but so far this season they have conceded at least one goal in 14 of their 15 games on the road.
They've had a bad run of form away from home recently, having lost 4 of their last 6 on the road and managing just 1 win. The've not managed to settle at all away from home this season, losing 12 of their 15 league games on the road.
Having scored 4 goals in his last 6 league games for Almeria, Luis Suárez will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Last time these two teams met in the league it resulted in an unsurprising 1-3 win for Real Sociedad.
The Rojiblancos defence has struggled against Sociedad in past meetings, having conceded 1 or more goals in each of their last 9 games.
In the last 3 league meetings between the teams, Sociedad has taken all 3 points and has not lost to Almeria in 4 games.
Sociedad manager Imanol Alguacil has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Ander Barrenetxea (Muscle), Carlos Fernández (Knee), Martín Merquelanz (Knee) and Aihen Muñoz (Cruciate ligament) are all currently out of contention for this game.
With only Ibrahima Koné (Ankle) and Luis Suárez (Thigh) the main fitness concerns ahead of this fixture, Pepe Mel will be happy to have an otherwise healthy squad to pick from.
