Real Sociedad vs Deportivo Prediction, H2H Stats & Statistical Bets 11 October 2026
🔊 Real Sociedad and Deportivo are both on 10 points, but those points feel very different. The Basques have already lost three times, conceding four goals to Real Madrid and three to Atlético, before pulling off a remarkable 3-2 win away at Valencia just before the international break. The La Liga newcomers, by contrast, have lost only to Sevilla in seven rounds and are refusing to behave like a side expected to fight for survival.
Deportivo have the easier schedule. They can focus entirely on the trip to San Sebastián, while the hosts are in Belgium in the Europa League just a few days later. Pellegrino Matarazzo needs to restore defensive order without burning through his squad ahead of a congested run of fixtures. For Depor, this is a good opportunity to find out how far their bright start can really take them.
On their last visit, Deportivo conceded five.
📊 The two sides have met 22 times. Real Sociedad have won 8, Deportivo 7, with 7 draws. Recent head-to-head meetings have gone in favour of the Basques. In the 2017/18 season, Real Sociedad won both fixtures. However, more than 8 years have passed since their last meeting, and the current squads bear no resemblance to those of that era.
Head-to-head statistics Real Sociedad - Deportivo
Real Sociedad are pushing forward, but they're leaving too many gaps at the back.
The hosts have been inconsistent so far. Three wins, a draw and three defeats, nine goals scored and thirteen conceded - almost every decent performance has been followed by a new problem. After beating Espanyol, they were held to a 0-0 draw by Celta, then traded goals with Elche in a 3-2 win, conceded three without reply against Atlético, and only then edged past Valencia.
That inconsistency is particularly visible at the back. Real Sociedad have already conceded four against Real Madrid, three against Atlético, and two each against Elche and Valencia. Going forward, though, there is no shortage of ideas. The Basques have had 64 shots and won 51 corners, meaning the team regularly works the ball into the opposition penalty area.
Match Results: Real Sociedad
Deportivo have suffered just one defeat.
After opening draws with Elche and Málaga, Deportivo beat Valencia and then won 3-2 away at Villarreal. Only Sevilla managed to keep them scoreless and take all three points off them.
After seven rounds, the record stands at two wins, four draws and just one defeat, with a goal difference of 10-8. Deportivo have scored in all three of their away matches. Even when they go long periods without the ball, they have enough pace and quality to find their moments. Much of that has come through Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang, who has scored five goals and quickly established himself as the main attacking threat. That said, the club are not entirely dependent on him, though having a finisher of his calibre makes life considerably easier for the team.

⚽ Goals Prediction
Deportivo have scored in 6 of their 7 league rounds, with their only blank coming at home against Sevilla. Away from home their scoring run is perfect - 3 trips, 3 matches with a goal. Real Sociedad have defensive problems - 13 conceded in 7 matches and just 2 clean sheets. The Basques will likely dominate possession, but Deportivo need only one good chance or set piece. Bet: Deportivo to Score: Yes at 1.57*.
🚩 Corners Prediction
Real Sociedad are one of the most active teams in the league when it comes to corners. Over seven rounds they have earned 51 corners - an average of 7.29 per match - and that figure rises to 9 at home. Only Barcelona win more. Deportivo are no slouch in this department either, with 34 corners at 4.86 per match. Sociedad's matches in this season's La Liga are averaging 11.57 corners, while Deportivo's games are averaging 10.14. On that basis, we're backing Total Corners - Over 9.5 at 1.75*.
🟨 Yellow Cards Prediction
The two sides are level on fouls - 87 each across seven rounds. The card counts are more modest: Real Sociedad have received 14 yellow cards, Deportivo 11, which works out at an average of around 3.6 yellows per match between them. There is no particular tension between the pair, and both teams tend to play through the ball rather than turning the midfield into a constant battle. Our pick: Total Yellow Cards - Under 4.5.
*Odds are indicative and may vary across different bookmakers.
⭐️ Editorial Prediction
Real Sociedad at home should get chances for at least one shot on target. On top of that, Deportivo have kept a clean sheet only once. The visitors are unlikely to go without a goal either. They have already scored against Villarreal away from home, and they found the net in both Málaga and Getafe.
The hosts, meanwhile, have conceded 13 goals in 7 rounds, and there are several questions about their defensive line. Matarrazzo has yet to find a balance between being active going forward and being solid after losing the ball. Predicted score: 2-1. Main prediction: Both Teams to Score - Yes.
