Real Sociedad vs Real Oviedo predictions: Goals at both ends

- Both teams have scored in nine of Real Sociedad's last 10 matches.
Correct score prediction: Real Sociedad 2-1 Real Oviedo
Real Sociedad are currently eighth in the La Liga table and have been in fantastic form recently, despite their 4-1 loss to Real Madrid in their previous game.
Pellegrino Matarazzo's side have picked up 20 points from 12 matches at home, and they should be aiming to pick up all three points against Oviedo, who have managed only five points on their travels.
Oviedo last won away from home back in September, against Valencia. They have scored in five of their last six matches, so we predict they will score.
However, Sociedad, with their impressive form, are likely to return to winning ways and grab all three points.
Pre-game odds and win probability: Home side big favourites
- HOME: 8/15 (1.53) – 65.4%
- DRAW: 29/10 (3.90) – 25.6%
- AWAY: 11/2 (6.50) – 15.4%
*Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
The Basque outfit were on an 11-game unbeaten run ahead of their game against Real Madrid. The heavy defeat against Los Blancos should not erode their confidence; they should be motivated enough to pick up all three points against the bottom side in the league.
Sociedad are certainly in the mix for a top-six finish, and the bookies consider them as big favourites to win this game, and have priced them as 8/15 (1.53) with 65.4% chances of winning.
The home side have been scoring first in five of their last seven matches, while Oviedo have been scoring as well, so BTTS – Yes at 11/10 (2.1) looks a tempting bet.
There were fewer than 11 corners in each of Real Sociedad's last five matches, and the total corners – under 10.5 at 7/10 (1.7), look attractive odds.

Real Sociedad preview: Looking to return to winning ways
La Real have been in fantastic form, especially at home, and this fixture presents the perfect opportunity for them to bounce back to winning ways after a disappointing defeat against Real Madrid.
The home side will definitely be without Inaki Ruperez and Takefusa Kubo due to injury problems, while Luka Sucic and Ander Barrenetxea are major doubts.
Predicted lineup: Remiro (GK), Aramburu, Martin, Caleta-Car, Gomez, Gorrotxategi, Turrientes, Guedes, Soler, Marin & Oyarzabal

Real Oviedo preview: Can they pick up another win against Sociedad?
The recent form has been really worrying. They are heading into this game on the back of a 2-1 win against Athletic Bilbao, but they have traditionally had a better record against their rivals, posting 26 wins.
Oviedo has lost three of their last four games, and they need a strong performance to pick up a positive result away from home. Having scored only 13 goals this season, they have the worst attacking record in the division.
David Costas remains unavailable for selection due to injury, while Oviedo will be without Santiago Colombatto, who is suspended for this game.
Predicted lineup: Escandell (GK),Vidal, Carmo, Bailly, Lopez, Fonseca, Sibo, Hassan, Reina, Chaira & Vinas

Player to watch: Mikel Oyarzabal
The Spaniard has been Real Sociedad's standout attacker this season, and La Real will hope he continues his impressive form this weekend.
The 28-year-old has scored 10 goals in La Liga in the 2025-26 campaign and has registered three assists thus far, including five goals in his last five matches.
