The good news for Eusebio Sacristian is the fact his men kept their net untouched in back-to-back outings which is a vast improvement after huge struggles at the back at the start of the season.

Real Sociedad

The Brazilian forward Willian Jose had his show in Skopje where he bagged as many as four on Thursday and he will clearly be the main target for Sacristian’s side in the final third against Espanyol as well.

Sacristian is desperate to see his men producing a solid defensive display in front of their fans where they conceded ten goals during the three-game-without-a-win streak.

Espanyol

The Budgerigars can be dangerous up front with the likes of Gerard Moreno and Leo Baptistao, but they have failed to find the target in subsequent fixtures with Real Madrid and Levante.

The team led by Quique Sanchez Flores generally plays much better on the home court as they have picked up no more than a single point from four away days in this term of La Liga.

Real Sociedad vs Espanyol: Head to Head

Sociedad have been quite inspired in the final third in the most recent history of the head to head encounters with Espanyol.

They’ve won two and drawn one of their last three meetings with The Budgerigars netting as many as eight goals during the process.

Real Sociedad vs Espanyol: Prediction

Espanyol have been really poor away from Cornella in this season and we can hardly see them avoiding the fourth away loss on the bounce against inspired Sociedad here.

Real Sociedad vs Espanyol: Bets

The main betting option is Real Sociedad to win the match at the odds of 1.85.
