If you are struggling to determine what is the right bet for Espanyol vs Real Sociedad, check our top betting predictions for this duel here:

Real Sociedad to Win

Although Real Sociedad is third in the standings and Espanyol is barely outside of the relegation zone, this can be a very close game. After all, Espanyol only lost once in their last six games in La Liga, so they are in solid form.

On top of that, Real Sociedad is dealing with many injuries. Despite all this, we would still back the team from San Sebastian to win this game. They are the better team on paper, they've done much better this season, and they beat Espanyol four times in their last five meetings, albeit they did host all four of those matches.

Alexander Sorloth to Score at Any Time

With eight goals in sixteen appearances, Alexander Sorloth is Real Sociedad's best goalscorer this season. The Norwegian striker has been pretty consistent and if Real Sociedad does score in this game, chances are Sorloth will be the man to find the net.

In addition to all that, Sorloth has been in great form recently since five of his eight goals have come in the last seven rounds of La Liga, so we can see him continuing his hot streak with a goal in this game.

Espanyol vs Real Sociedad: Team News, Latest Form, and Potential Lineups

We expect that this will be a very exciting and close duel, so let's take a closer look at both teams before they meet on Monday:

Espanyol

In the last six games in La Liga, Espanyol has two wins, three draws, and one loss, so they've been in pretty solid form recently. However, Espanyol remains just one spot above the relegation zone and just one point ahead of the first team in it, so the team from Barcelona will have to find a way to keep their good run going for longer if they want to stay safe from relegation.

Meanwhile, Joselu, Keidi Bare, Adria Pedrosa, and Cesar Montes are on the team's injury list, while Ronael Pierre-Gabriel is suspended.

Espanyol Predicted Lineup:

Fernandez – Gil, Gomez, Cabrera, Olivan – Vidal, Vinicius, Darder, Melamed – Puado, Braithwaite

Real Sociedad

After seven games without a loss in La Liga, Real Sociedad felt the sting in the last round in a surprising loss to Real Valladolid at home. Still, the team from San Sebastian remains third in the standings and they still have a four-point cushion over Atletico Madrid, who is behind them in the standings.

Real Sociedad is also still dealing with many injuries – Aritz Elustondo, David Silva, Mohamed Ali-Cho, Jon Pacheco, Andoni Gorosabel, Alex Sola, Mikel Merino, Ander Guevara, and Martin Merquelanz are all on the sidelines at the moment.

Real Sociedad Predicted Lineup:

Remiro – Barrenetxea, Zubeldia, Le Normand, Rico – Mendez, Zubimendi, Illarramendi – Oyarzabal, Sorloth, Kubo

Player to Watch: Brais Mendez

We expect to see a close game here, but we also see Real Sociedad winning the match. With that in mind, our player to watch against Espanyol is Brais Mendez.

The Spanish midfielder has is currently the team's second-best goalscorer with seven goals, to which he also added three assists in nineteen La Liga appearances. Clearly, Espanyol has to be wary of him ahead of this game.
