Real Sociedad vs Villarreal prediction: SPAIN: LaLiga betting tips on match 2025-11-29 13:00.
[p]Two of La Liga’s most in-form sides put their unbeaten runs on the line here as European hopefuls Real Sociedad host title-chasers Villarreal on matchday 14.[/p]
[p]Match News and Current Form[/p]
[p]Sociedad have put a dire start to the campaign behind them and are now unbeaten in six matches across all competitions (W4, D2). Manager Sergio Francisco appears to have found his feet following a summer appointment, with back-to-back home wins by a one-goal margin winning round the Sociedad fans, and his side are now mounting a charge towards the top six. Having not tasted defeat since before the October international break, La Real could now extend their unbeaten run in La Liga to six games for the first time since January 2024, and three wins from their last four home league games certainly suggest they’re good value to do so. [/p]
[p]While they may have been thrashed 4-0 by Dortmund in midweek European action, Villarreal are unbeaten in five league games (W4, D1), and make the trip to the Reale Arena having won four on the spin, with their title challenge becoming more of a reality with each passing week. Marcelino’s men begin the weekend just three points adrift of table-toppers Real Madrid, with their 29 points the most they have ever had on the board at this stage of a top-flight campaign! Underlining their consistency, only Real and Barcelona (17 each) have won more La Liga games than the Yellow Submarine (16) since April coming into this round, and that includes victories to nil in each of their last two away league games.[/p]
[p]Head-to-Head History[/p]
