Double chance : Villarreal or draw

Villarreal are at home but have been struggling recently, with just one win in their last five games and a few heavy defeats. Real Sociedad are also in a tough patch, having lost three of their last five. When these two teams meet, it's often a close and exciting contest, with their last two matches featuring plenty of goals and ending in a win for one side and a draw.

Looking at how both teams are currently playing and their recent meetings, this match looks very evenly balanced and could go either way. It is most likely to be a draw or a narrow win for Villarreal.
