Tip and bets
Opponents are from different halves of the standings, but both of them will be highly motivated for this game. We believe that favourite will prevail over underdog and will hold on to the fifth spot in the standings.
Our prediction - Real Sociedad to win.
Recent head-to-heads between those teams were high-scoring. At this stage of La Liga both opponents have nothing to lose, so we expect many goal opportunites and some of them will be converted.
Second bet - total over 2.5 goals.
