Osasuna vs Real Sociedad prediction: SPAIN: LaLiga betting tips on match 2025-11-21 17:30.
[p]The international break came at a great time for both Osasuna and Real Sociedad, who are both closer to the relegation zone than most would have expected pre-season. [/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Only a point kept Osasuna outside of La Liga’s bottom three pre-round, which can in part be attributed to collecting a joint-league low five points across the last eight rounds (W1, D2, L5). Such a run has condemned Osasuna to their joint-worst 11-game start to a season since returning to the top flight in 2019/20, but a difficult start certainly caveats that feat, as five of their seven league defeats this term came on the road against sides starting the round in the top six. Home turf has been much more profitable for them, although a 3-2 defeat against Celta in their last such outing did see them slip to their first home defeat of the league season (W3, D1).[/p]
[p]Sociedad were only three points ahead of the relegation zone during the international break but have overcome an awful start that almost cost new manager Sergio Francisco his job. After losing five of their first eight games of this La Liga campaign (W1, D2), Sociedad have pieced together a four-game unbeaten run (W2, D2), but hitting the road certainly throws their chances of extending that into question. Sociedad are yet to win an away league game this term (D3, L3), and it’s been a long-standing theme for a side who’ve now won just one of their last 17 La Liga road trips (D5, L11). [/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
[p]Osasuna are unbeaten across the last four La Liga H2Hs (W3, D1), although they have won just one of the last nine top-flight meetings they’ve hosted (D3, L5).[/p]
[p]Hot Stats and Streaks[/p]
[p]Osasuna have scored seven of their nine La Liga goals this season before half-time. [/p]
[p]Osasuna have scored in each of their last 26 La Liga home games (W13, D9, L4). [/p]
[p]Nine of Sociedad’s 12 league games this season saw both teams score. [/p]
[p]Sociedad haven’t kept a clean sheet in their last  17 La Liga away games.[/p]
[p]Key Players to Watch and Missing Players[/p]
[p]A RaĂşl GarcĂa goal could be a good omen for Osasuna given his side avoided defeat on his last seven scoring appearances in any competition (W5, D2). Sociedad captain Mikel Oyarzabal remains undefeated when scoring or assisting against Osasuna (W5, D1), setting up a pair of goals in last season’s H2H Copa del Rey win.[/p]
[p]Osasuna pair Ante Budimir and Jon Moncayola missed training on Tuesday with injuries. Jon Aramburu and Igor Zubeldia are both doubtful for Sociedad. [/p]
