Why bet on Real Sociedad?
Real Sociedad has had many ups and downs so far this season, as they currently sit in seventh place in the standings, with a record of seven wins, four draws, and seven losses. In addition, they have an offensive problem, as they have scored only 16 goals in 18 games, something we have not seen for a long time.
However, there is still a lot of the season to play, practically the entire second half, so they have time to solve the problems and continue to aspire to climb the table. Right now, they are 5 points behind the surprising Mallorca and Villarreal, which currently have 30 points.
Before the break for the Christmas holidays, Real Sociedad lost 2-0 away to Celta Vigo. However, they managed to beat Ponferradina in the Copa del Rey with a score of 2-0.
Why bet on Villarreal?
On the other hand, Villarreal is showing a completely different side this season. Currently, the Yellow Submarine is in fifth place in LaLiga, with a record of 8 wins, 6 draws, and 4 defeats, with 34 goals scored and 30 conceded.
As we can notice, the team has shown a great offensive level, but their defense needs to solidify if they want to stay in the fight for the top of the table. For a fifth team, conceding 30 goals in 18 games is a high amount, so they need their defense to be much more compact from now on to secure more victories.
Villarreal comes to this matchday 19 after a victory on December 22, 2024, against Leganés, with an excellent score of 5-2.
Final Betting Analysis: Real Sociedad vs. Villarreal
In the last 10 matches played between these two teams, there is an absolute parity in the results obtained. Both the Basques and the Yellow Submarine have managed to accumulate 4 wins, while 2 matches have ended with draws on the scoreboard.
However, the most recent match between these two teams, last February 23, 2024, ended with a victory for Villarreal with a score of 3-1.
At Gambyl Exchange, we can see that there is a Moneyline that favors Real Sociedad at 1.904, while Villarreal starts at 4.00.
For this match, our prediction is a win for Real Sociedad by 3-1.
Look for a win for Real Sociedad. For example, if you put $100Â at 1.904, you’ll see a $90.40 win with a total payout of $190.40.
