Espanyol and Real Sociedad go head to head this weekend with both sides looking for their first win of the 2024-25 Spanish top flight campaign.
Espanyol ended last season on a high. Manolo González's side finished fourth in the Segunda Division after going unbeaten in their final 16 league games of the 2023-24 campaign and they made the most of the opportunity in the play-offs. Periquitos eliminated Sporting Gijon in the semi-finals of the play-offs before beating Oviedo 2-1 on aggregate in the final.
Real Sociedad meanwhile ended last season poorly. The visitors managed to win just three of their last eight games, a form which saw them finish sixth in the final standings. Imanol Alguacil's side did finish in the top four in terms of displays on the road and will take that as motivation for this weekend's clash.
Espanyol vs Real Sociedad Betting Tips: Real Sociedad to win
Both sides started the 2024-24 La Liga campaign on a negative note with Espanyol losing 1:0 to Real Valladolid, while the visitors suffered a surprised 2:1 defeat to Rayo Vallecano.
Real Sociedad dominated their encounter, registering eleven shorts, four of which were on target and Erreala equally have a great record against Espanyol.
Sociedad boast three wins from the last three meeting between these two sides and I think another win this weekend is possible against an Espanyol side that failed to score in three of their last five matches.

Espanyol team news
Head coach Manolo González is unlikely to make many changes to his Espanyol side that started the defeat with Valladolid last weekend.
Javi Puado and Alejo Véliz should once again reunite in the final third, but Álvaro Aguado and Alex Král could be given roles in midfield.
