Real Sociedad Villarreal betting prediction


Betting suggestion:

Real Sociedad has the home advantage, which may be decisive in this match against a team that hasn’t done well in the last away matches, despite fighting for the first positions. Therefore, despite having a much better squad, Villareal is likely to allow the home team to get at least a draw.

Preview
Real Sociedad and Villarreal face at Reale Arena, in a match for the 16th round of the Primera División. The head‑to‑head record at this stadium favours the away team, since in the last 5 head‑to‑heads they won 1 and tied 4. Nevertheless, in the last head‑to‑head played at this stadium, for the Primera División, played on 25‑04‑2015, they tied (0‑0). Villarreal registers significant differences between home and away results, so special attention is due to the home/away factor.

Analysis Real Sociedad

The home team is currently in the 13th position of the league, with 16 points won, after 4 wins, 4 draws and 7 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in a home match against Eibar, by (2‑1). In the last match, they tied in an away match against Getafe, by (1‑1). This is a team that usually maintains its competitive levels in home and away matches, since in the last 30 matches they register 4 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses in away matches; against 4 wins, 5 draws and 6 losses at their stadium. They come to this match after a home draw against Las Palmas by (1‑1). For the league, Real Sociedad won 8 points out of 21 possible points, after 2 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses in the last 7 home matches. The most recurrent result at half‑time in their home league matches was the 0‑0 (3 out of 7 matches). They haven't been very strong defensively, since they have suffered goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. They have conceded the first goal in 7 of their 15 matches for this competition, and have only turned the score around in 1.

Real Sociedad is to play a home match and should be confidant and optimistic, since they come from two wins, against stronger teams: Sevilla (7th) and Eibar (10th). These results were important but not enough to get the team out of the bottom of the league table. Therefore, they need to start winning points more regularly, so in this home match they need to win points.

Confirmed Lineup: Gerónimo Rulli, Elustondo, Yuri, Diego Reyes, Íñigo Martínez, Illarramendi, Granero, Canales, Bruma, Agirretxe, Carlos Vela.
Coach: I. Alguacil Barrenetxea.

Analysis Villarreal

The away team is currently in the 5th position of the league, with 27 points won, after 8 wins, 3 draws and 4 losses. In the penultimate match, they won in a home match against Rayo Vallecano, by (2‑1). In the last match, they won in a home match against Real Madrid, by (1‑0). This is a team that usually makes good use of the home advantage, stronger with the help of its supporters, since in the last 30 matches they register 6 wins, 4 draws and 5 losses in away matches, with 19 goals scored and 19 conceded; against 12 wins, 1 draw and 2 losses at their stadium, with 25 goals scored and 9 conceded. In their last match, for the Copa del Rey, they got a home win against Huesca by (2‑0). In the last 7 away league matches Villarreal has a record of 2 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses, so they have won 8 points out of 21 possible.

In this competition, they haven’t won any of the last 4 away matches. In their away league matches the most frequent result at half‑time was the 0‑0 (5 out of 7 matches). Defensive consistency hasn’t been their best feature, as they have conceded goals in 7 of the last 10 matches for this competition. In 15 matches for this competition, they have conceded the first goal 7 times and have only turned the score around in 2.

Villarreal is in the first positions of the table, but in away matches they haven’t done all that well, since in the last 4 they register a draw and 3 losses, one of which against Levante, last in the league table. Therefore, it’s clear that they don’t maintain their competitive levels in this condition.

Confirmed Lineup: Alphonse Aréola, Antonio Rukavina, Jaume Costa, Mateo Musacchio, Víctor Ruíz, Pina, Jonathan Dos Santos, Bruno, Denis Suárez, Cédric Bakambu, Soldado.
Coach: U. Emery Etxegoien.
