Real Sociedad vs Athletic Club

Current streaks

Recent form

Real Sociedad

Real Sociedad's recent form has been inconsistent, with two wins, two draws, and two losses in their last six matches. The team's position in 10th place with 42 points from 33 games suggests they are struggling to maintain their usual standards. Notably, their goal-scoring and defensive records are identical over this period, with 11 goals scored and conceded, averaging 1.83 per game. The lack of clean sheets is a concern, with their current streak extending to 12 games without one. Two particularly high-scoring matches stand out: a thrilling 4-4 draw against Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey and a 3-1 victory over Las Palmas. The team's tendency towards high-scoring affairs is evident, with 67% of their recent matches seeing over 2.5 goals and both teams scoring. Despite their mid-table position, Real Sociedad have shown they can be competitive against top sides, as demonstrated by their draw with Real Madrid.

Athletic Club

Athletic Club have shown impressive form in recent weeks, maintaining a solid fourth position in La Liga with 60 points from 33 games. The Basque side have been particularly strong defensively, keeping four clean sheets in their last six matches and conceding only two goals during this period. Their goal-scoring record has been modest but consistent, with six goals in six games. Notably, Athletic Club have been involved in predominantly low-scoring affairs, with 83% of their recent matches featuring under 2.5 goals. The team's resilience is evident in their unbeaten run of four games across all competitions, including a promising Europa League draw away at Rangers followed by a convincing 2-0 home victory in the return leg. Their most recent outing, a 1-0 win against Las Palmas, further emphasises their ability to grind out results in tight contests.

Recent home/away form

Real Sociedad

Real Sociedad's recent home form has been inconsistent, with the team struggling to find a consistent rhythm at their home ground. They have managed just two wins in their last six home matches, interspersed with three losses and a draw. Notably, their goal-scoring output has been limited, with the team failing to score in three of these six matches. The 3-0 victory against Leganés stands out as their most impressive result, being the only match where they scored more than two goals. Defensively, Real Sociedad have also faced challenges, keeping only one clean sheet in this period. Their matches have generally been low-scoring affairs, with 67% of the games seeing under 2.5 goals. This trend is further emphasised by the fact that both teams scored in only 33% of these matches, suggesting a cautious approach from both Real Sociedad and their opponents in recent home fixtures.

Athletic Club

Athletic Club's recent away form has been underwhelming, with the Basque side struggling to find consistency on their travels. In their last six away matches, they have managed just one win, two draws, and three losses, scoring a mere two goals whilst conceding four. The team's defensive resilience is evident, having kept three clean sheets in this period, but their attacking prowess has been notably lacking. A concerning run of three consecutive away games without scoring was only broken by their 1-0 victory against Sevilla. The low-scoring nature of their matches is striking, with 83% of these games featuring under 2.5 goals. Despite their underwhelming away form, Athletic Club have maintained a respectable 4th position in the league, highlighting their stronger performances at home.
