Bookmaker Ratings prediction one – X2 and Total Goals under 4.5 – 1.52
Bookmaker Ratings prediction two – Villarreal Goals handicap (0) – 1.57
X2 and Total Goals under 4.5
Villarreal are unbeaten in their last 11 La Liga home fixtures, and now they will be looking for another positive result that would extend their home record.
Meanwhile, Real Sociedad’s record against top-eight teams in this Spanish Primera campaign (D5, L7) will likely be of great concern to head coach Imanol Alguacil.
Amidst all this uncertainty, we choose the less risky bet, which covers the hosts’ double chance combined with total goals under 4.5.
Villarreal Goals handicap (0)
The Yellow Submarine covered the zero handicap in their last eleven home games and are favorites to succeed again in this match.
Preliminary review and match prediction for Villarreal vs Real Sociedad
Real Betis winning the Copa del Rey sees the 6th placed side head to the Europa League, and that place seems set to be a tussle between Real Sociedad and Villarreal.
Meanwhile, Unai Emery’s side finally bounced back to end their four-match winless streak. Villarreal put in a big performance against Rayo Vallecano, beating them 5:1 in their last league fixture.
The Yellow Submarine are in 7th place with 56 points, just three points above their upcoming opponent.
