Real Sociedad vs. Villarreal Preview (What To Know Before Betting)

Real Sociedad vs. Villarreal

Real Sociedad aims for back-to-back wins in Spain’s top flight as they host Villarreal at the Reale Arena on Friday.

Coming off a 2-1 victory against Mallorca, the home side faces Villarreal, who drew 1-1 with Getafe in their recent match at this level of football.

Real Sociedad’s league performance has been impacted by their participation in the Champions League and Copa del Rey.

Real Sociedad vs. Villarreal

Currently occupying the sixth position in La Liga, they fall short of their fourth-place finish last season with an 11-point gap to Atletico Madrid (in fourth) on the same number of games (25).

While sixth isn’t disastrous, they are only one point ahead of Real Betis in seventh and trail Athletic Bilbao in fifth by nine points. Securing a Champions League win this season might be necessary for European qualification next term, although progressing to the next stage of the European Cup poses a significant challenge.
