Key stats
- Our Real Sociedad vs Osasuna betting tips take into account that La Real have lost four of their last five matches in all competitions.

Correct score prediction: Real Sociedad 1-1 Osasuna
It hasn’t been an impressive start to 2025 for Real Sociedad, and they may just be feeling the effects of a busy month of domestic and European commitments.
Osasuna by contrast should be a bit fresher. With key player Bryan Zaragoza available again, they look capable of building on a strong record against their neighbours already this term.
