Double chance : draw or Real Sociedad
Espanyol are having a tough time lately, losing two of their last three matches. Real Sociedad, on the other hand, look to be in much better shape – they won their most recent game and have drawn their last two before that, meaning they haven't lost in three matches. The last time these two teams met, the game ended in a 2-2 draw with plenty of goals.
This match looks like it could be very close, but Real Sociedad are clearly the side in better form right now. Given Espanyol's recent struggles and the fact that their last meeting was a high-scoring draw, we are likely to see another open game. The most realistic outcome here is a draw or a win for Real Sociedad.
