Real Sociedad vs. Espanyol - prediction, free online live stream , lineups

The match between Real Sociedad and Espanyol, scheduled for February 9, 2025, at Reale Arena in Donostia/San Sebastián, promises to be a significant encounter in La Liga. Recent performance trends indicate that Real Sociedad is facing challenges, having endured a series of losses that have affected their standing in the league. Conversely, Espanyol has demonstrated resilience by avoiding defeat in their recent matches and successfully moving out of the relegation zone. This context sets the stage for an intriguing clash between two teams with contrasting momentum.

Real Sociedad find themselves in unfamiliar territory this season, languishing in 11th place in La Liga, far from their usual battle for European qualification. A team accustomed to competing at the top end of the table now faces the task of regaining lost ground, and Sunday’s clash against Espanyol presents a crucial opportunity to steady the ship. Their recent form in the league has been poor, suffering four defeats in their last five outings, but their Copa del Rey victory over Osasuna in midweek may provide the spark they desperately need.

Real Sociedad’s last two matches were against Osasuna. After a 2-1 loss in the league match, Sociedad earned their revenge at home in the Copa Del Rey, beating Osasuna 2-0.

Here they will want to build on that win, Real Sociedad having claimed victory in all the last four matches against Espanyol. Four losses in their last six matches, however, could dent their confidence.
