Head-to-head statistics Real Sociedad - Osasuna
Real Sociedad Team Overview
⚪ The arrival of Pellegrino Matarazzo at Real Sociedad has injected a wave of emotion throughout the team. Currently, the "Royal" side sit in 8th place in the standings, trailing the top six by just 5 points. Equally important is their noticeable improvement in attacking play, averaging 1.48 goals per game, which ranks them sixth in the league. The main attacking force and top scorer for the club in this La Liga campaign is Mikel Oyarzabal, with 11 goals in 24 league appearances.
🔵 In their last La Liga outing, Real Sociedad suffered a frustrating setback in an away clash against Atletico Madrid (2-3). Despite lacking sharpness in front of the opponent's goal, the "Royal" side excelled in positional defense, making it difficult for their rivals to break through their defensive line. The American coach favors a classic 4-4-2 formation, with a tactical model based on counter-attacking football and clearly defined roles for players during build-up play.

Osasuna Team Overview
🔴 Over their last 8 matches in La Liga, Osasuna have suffered just one defeat. Currently, the team from Pamplona sits 11th in the standings, trailing the top 6 by six points. It's also crucial to note the dismal away form of the "Reds" - they've managed only 9 points from 14 away fixtures, ranking them 15th in the league. Finally, let's highlight their average performance metrics this La Liga season - scoring 0.57 goals per game while conceding 1.14.
📌 Last weekend, Osasuna played a home match against Mallorca (2-2). Despite managing to overturn the game and secure a draw, many questions remain about the Pamplona club's performance. Particularly, their ball-handling issues and struggles to develop attacks in the opponent's half impact the team's consistency. Alessio Lisci favors pragmatic football, emphasizing defensive solidity. The main attacking threat for Osasuna is Ante Budimir, with the 34-year-old Croatian forward netting 13 goals in 26 league appearances.

Latest news
Real Sociedad
🎤 Real Sociedad's head coach Pellegrino Matarazzo was critical of his team's performance in their 3-2 defeat against Atletico, expressing his dissatisfaction: "Nobody likes losing, and today we didn't show our best. We understand that. I think Atletico deserved the win. We lost too many one-on-one battles, and I'm not pleased with what my team did. On the positive side, we managed to score twice and tried to at least salvage a point, but it wasn't to be. I don't think this match should be considered in relation to the final. There are still six weeks to go, and lineups could be different, the situation will change. We have six weeks to improve. A lot can change by then. I believe nothing from this match should be carried over to that game. I'm confident things will be different."
❌ Real Sociedad's coaching staff still cannot count on Takefusa Kubo (hamstring injury), Alvaro Odriozola (knee injury), and Inaki Ruperes (knee injury) for support.
Osasuna
🎤 Osasuna's head coach shared his thoughts on their recent 2-2 draw against Mallorca: "We've done it again, just like several times this season - we believe in ourselves and finish strong when we need to come back, and we're pleased with that. However, it doesn't erase how poorly we played in the first half. Today, we need to reflect and acknowledge our mistakes at certain moments in the match, and we must respond to that. Everyone who came off the bench made a difference. We were better in the second half than in the first, although we still lacked clarity. We created a few chances - both Kaike and Victor could have scored earlier."
❌ Among Osasuna's unavailable players are Iker Benito (knee injury), Raul De Aro (suspension), and Ruben Garcia (suspension).
⚽ Goal Prediction
