Recent form

Real Sociedad

Real Sociedad's recent form has been concerning, with the team struggling to find consistency. They have lost four of their last six matches across all competitions, including a concerning run of three consecutive defeats in La Liga and Europa League. Their only victories came in the Copa del Rey against Rayo Vallecano and in the Europa League against PAOK. The team's defensive frailties are evident, conceding 10 goals in their last six games, with a particularly heavy 3-0 loss to Getafe standing out. Their attacking output has also dipped, scoring just 1.17 goals per game on average. Despite this, Real Sociedad have managed to keep one clean sheet and have been involved in high-scoring affairs, with 67% of their recent matches featuring over 2.5 goals. Their current 11th position in La Liga reflects their inconsistent performances, and they'll need to address their defensive issues to climb the table.

RCD Espanyol

RCD Espanyol have shown a mixed run of form in their recent fixtures, remaining unbeaten in their last five matches. The Barcelona-based side have managed to secure two wins, three draws, and suffered only one defeat in their previous six games. Notably, Espanyol have been involved in a series of low-scoring affairs, with five out of their last six matches seeing under 2.5 goals. Their defensive record has been relatively solid, conceding just 0.83 goals per game over this period and keeping one clean sheet. However, their attacking output has been modest, scoring an average of one goal per match. Despite their recent upturn in form, Espanyol find themselves in a precarious 17th position in La Liga, highlighting the need for continued improvement to climb away from the relegation zone.

Recent home/away form

Real Sociedad

Real Sociedad have shown a mixed but generally positive form at home recently, with four wins, one draw, and one loss in their last six matches. The Basque side have been particularly strong defensively, keeping four clean sheets and conceding only 0.67 goals per game on average. Their attacking output has been decent, scoring 1.5 goals per game, with a notably high-scoring 3-1 victory against Rayo Vallecano in the Copa del Rey. Interestingly, Real Sociedad have maintained a perfect record in their European fixtures at home, winning both Europa League matches without conceding. However, their league form has been less consistent, with a surprising 3-0 defeat to Getafe breaking a run of two consecutive home wins in La Liga. The team's ability to keep matches tight is evident, with half of their recent home games featuring under 2.5 goals.

RCD Espanyol

RCD Espanyol's recent away form has been dismal, with the team enduring a five-match losing streak before managing a draw in their latest outing against Sevilla. Their goal-scoring woes are evident, having found the net only three times in their last six away matches, averaging a mere 0.5 goals per game. Defensively, Espanyol have struggled as well, conceding 12 goals in this period and failing to keep a single clean sheet. The 4-1 defeat to Girona stands out as a particularly high-scoring affair, highlighting their defensive frailties. With only one point from a possible 18 in their last six away games, Espanyol's away form is a significant contributor to their current 17th position in La Liga, leaving them perilously close to the relegation zone.
