Recent form

RC Celta

RC Celta have shown mixed form in their recent outings, with their last six matches yielding two wins, two draws, and two losses. The standout result is undoubtedly their emphatic 7-0 victory over Salamanca UDS in the Copa del Rey, demonstrating their attacking prowess. This high-scoring affair significantly boosted their average goals scored per game to an impressive 2.33. Defensively, Celta have been somewhat inconsistent, managing two clean sheets but also conceding three goals against RCD Espanyol. Their ability to find the net is evident, with both teams scoring in half of their recent matches and over 2.5 goals occurring in 67% of games. Despite their mid-table position, Celta's positive goal difference of 6 and their capacity to compete with top sides, as shown in their 2-2 draw with Barcelona, suggest they have the potential to climb the La Liga table if they can find more consistency in their performances.

Real Sociedad

The Basque side have gone unbeaten in their last six matches, winning five and drawing one, with a particularly strong run of five straight victories before their most recent draw against Las Palmas.

Interestingly, Real Sociedad have not conceded a single goal during this period, maintaining a perfect defensive record. Their ability to keep the score low is evident, with 67% of their recent matches featuring under 2.5 goals. Despite sitting in 7th place in La Liga, their current form suggests they could be pushing for a higher position in the coming weeks.
