Real Sociedad 2-1 Espanyol
Espanyol 0-1 Real Sociedad
Espanyol 2-3 Real Sociedad

Key Statistics

Real Sociedad have lost their opening two league matches, including a 4–1 defeat to Real Madrid, and have therefore conceded five goals already.

Espanyol have one win and one defeat, scoring four and conceding two.

The important point for the goals market is that neither side has established a consistently high-scoring profile.

Espanyol's three-goal opening-day victory was followed by a narrow defeat to Madrid, while Sociedad have struggled to turn possession into sustained scoring opportunities.

Team News

Real Sociedad have incorporated Mamadou Sarr into the squad, while the club is still adapting to several changes.

Their immediate concern is defensive stability after conceding four against Real Madrid.

The coaching staff will need to decide whether to make changes to the back line or maintain continuity.

Espanyol have also strengthened, with Bryan Zaragoza arriving on loan from Bayern Munich.

He provides an additional one-versus-one attacking threat, but Espanyol are likely to remain relatively conservative away from home against a Sociedad side desperate for its first points.

Prediction Analysis

I am going with over 1.5 goals in this game. Real Sociedad could be defensively weak against Espanyol's barrage. The game is pretty open. So over 1.5 goals.
BTTS is also a solid alternative.
