Real Sociedad vs Villarreal Prediction and Betting Tips | October 9, 2022

  /  autty

Real Sociedad will host Villarreal at the Estadio Anoeta in La Liga on Sunday (October 9), looking for their third consecutive league win.

After winning only twice in their opening five games, La Real have won their last two - a 2-0 defeat of Espanyol followed by a pulsating 5-3 win over Girona. The Basque country outfit are on a four-game winning run across competitions, winning 2-0 at Sheriff in the UEFA Europa League in midweek.

Villarreal, meanwhile, are just a point below Sociedad in eighth, having accrued 12 from seven games, but their recent top-flight form has been underwhelming.

The Yellow Submarine are winless in their last three games, losing once. However, they showed flashes of their old self in a 5-0 drubbing of Austria Wien at home in the UEFA Europa Conference League in midweek.

Unai Emery's side will look to build on this victory and get their stuttering league campaign back on track.

Real Sociedad vs Villarreal Prediction

Real Sociedad are the form team right now, having won five of their last six games across competitions, including the last four.

Villarreal have recently been winning only in Europe, as their league form has been disappointing, so Thursday's European win could be a huge boost for them.

Both teams have tremendous attacking quality, so a high-scoring draw could ensue.
