Real Sociedad to Win
Although the home team has struggled recently in La Liga, they are still seventh in the standings and they need a win to break their six-game winless streak.
Meanwhile, Celta Vigo has done well in recent matches, but they enter this game after a Copa del Rey loss to Atletico Baleares, a team from the third rank of Spanish football. Real Sociedad beat Celta Vigo in their last three meetings and we can see that happening again on Saturday.
Under 2.5 Total Goals
Three of the last five head-to-head duels between Real Sociedad and Celta Vigo have gone under 2.5 total goals, so we would hardly be surprised if that happened in their next duel as well.
After all, Real Sociedad averaged 2.21 goals per game so far in La Liga, while Celta Vigo averaged 2.32 goals per game in the league this season.

Real Sociedad vs Celta Vigo – Recent form, news, and potential lineups
While the team teams are in different forms at this moment, they are quality teams and an exciting game is expected. Let's check the teams out in more detail:
Real Sociedad
After they've been at the top of the standings for a few rounds, Real Sociedad had a significant drop in form and they have now failed to win in the last six games in the league. Because of this, the team dropped to the seventh spot in the La Liga, but they are still only a couple of points away from the Top 4 finish.
We should see the team's best player Oyarzabal in the lineup after he was out with coronavirus. However, Fernandez, Monreal, Sola, Gorosabel, and Barrenetxea will miss the upcoming game with injuries.
Real Sociedad predicted lineup:
Remiro – Zaldua, Elustondo, Le Normand, Rico – Merino, Silva, Guevara – Oyarzabal, Isak, Januzaj
Celta Vigo
With three win, two draws, and one loss in the last six games, Celta Vigo finally started to play as well as many expected and now they are twelfth in the standings. If the team can keep the run going, they might even get in the top half soon enough. That being said, Celta disappointed their fans a few days ago when they were eliminated from Spanish cup by Atletico Baleares.
Many players tested positive for COVID-19 at the club over the last week, but at least eight of them are expected to return to action. However, Araujo, Solari, Tapia, and Blanco are still questionable with injuries and fitness concerns.
Celta Vigo predicted lineup:
Dituro – Mallo, Aidoo, Araujo, Galan – Tapia – Mendez, Suarez, Cervi – Aspas, Mina
