Real Sociedad, Recent FormHaving taken all 3 points, with a crucial 1-0 away win over Valencia in their last league game, Real Sociedad will undoubtedly be very satisfied with their work. Their share of possession in that meeting was 63%, while racking up 2 shots along the way, 1 of which were on target, in contrast to Valencia, who had 9 shots on goal with 2 on target.
While they have been strong in attack with 12 goals scored in their last 6 games, their defence has let them down slightly, by conceeding 9 at the other end which has led to points being dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, but they have only kept 1 clean sheet in their last 6 games at Reale Arena.
Their strong run of form at home now gives them an unbeaten streak of 13 games in a row.
When home matches come round at Reale Arena, Takefusa Kubo will feel confident of adding more goals to his tally of 5 goals in Real Sociedad's last 6 home league matches.
Athletic Bilbao, Recent FormAthletic Bilbao manager Ernesto Valverde will be looking for a better result in this game following a disappointing 2-2 draw in his team's last league outing against Getafe. They came away from that fixture with a 49% share of the possession and clocked up 8 attempts on goal with 4 on target, in comparison to Getafe, who managed 13 attempts on goal, 5 of which were on target.
With 13 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, Valverde will be very pleased with his team's form going forward, but he will be casting a cautious eye over his defence, who have shipped 4 goals in the same period. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games, and playing away from home, they're currenlty on a run of 3 clean sheets in a row.
They have been performing well recently, both home and away, and remain unbeaten in their last 6 games.
Iñaki Williams will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 4 goals in the last 6 league outings for Athletic Bilbao.
The last league encounter between these two sides concluded with a 2-0 win for Athletic Bilbao.
