Real Espana vs Real Sociedad tips and predictions

Real Espana so hard to oppose

There's 14 points separating these two as fifth place Real Espana get set to host tenth place Real Sociedad.

This is a passive view as there's not a huge amount to go on. It's hard to make a case for anything apart from a straightforward home win but their odds-on price is not one to get stuck into. Real Sociedad are unlikely to be making headlines against this side.

The hosts have reached 14 home wins from their last 18 games. Less impressively the travelling side has been patchy. They've lost 17 of their recent 18 matches on the road. All the evidence points to one more loss here.

If the visitors don't keep their shape they will be punished. They can't keep doing the same thing over and over again and expect different results. Real Sociedad have conceded two or more goals in 11 of their last 13 assignments. And at certain times the visitors have sometimes been left wanting. They've been goalless in all of their last 8 away matches.

And of course, this is not their first rodeo. Real Espana have won 3 of the last 4 fixtures between the two teams.

Given the overwhelming favouritism for Real Espana it's possible they keep Real Sociedad out of the running. The BTTS No is therefore a good looking side bet.
