Reddis vs Real Sociedad prediction: La Real to return to winning ways
Key stats
- Reddis are winless in four successive league outings (D2, L2).
- The hosts are winless in back-to-back home fixtures (D1, L1).
- Real Sociedad have won only one of their last three games (D1, L1).
- La Real have scored two goals at least twice in their last six matches.
Correct score prediction: Reddis 0-3 Real Sociedad
Marc Carrasco’s Reddis have been struggling spectacularly in the Segunda Federacion – Group 3, with only two wins from their last eight games. They have now gone scoreless in three successive outings, while they needed the drama of penalties to edge past CE Europa in the previous Copa del Rey round.
Real Sociedad fell to their first defeat in eight games against a resurgent Villarreal side, and will be motivated to return to winning ways when they travel to Reddis’ 4,700 capacity stadium. Sergio Francisco’s men have been successful on the offensive front, netting three goals in three of their last five games.
Estadi Municipal de Reddis should witness La Real comfortably beat the home side and progress to the next Copa del Rey round.
Pre-game odds and win probability: La Real with the odds in their favour
- HOME: 17/2 (9.50) = 10.5%
- DRAW: 5/1 (6.00) = 16.6%
- AWAY: 2/7 (1.28) = 78.1%
*Odds from Ladbrokes, subject to change
Reddis’s poor goalscoring form, having failed to score in three consecutive games is a cause for concern. It is beyond any doubt why the hosts are priced at 17/2 (9.50), implying a mere 10.5% probability of earning their first win in five games.
Real Sociedad, meanwhile, are favourites to progress to the next round, having lost only one of their last seven encounters. The visitors are backed by a 78.1% probability of success.

Player to watch: Carlos Soler
Former Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Soler has often been used as a substitute by Francisco this season, but consistent goal contributions in back-to-back appearances should see him start against Reddis. He netted La Real’s opener against Villarreal, before which he provided the assist for Brais Mendez’s opener against Osasuna.
