Real Sociedad vs Osasuna Prediction & Betting Tips (10 February)

The more time passes, the more the shock against PSG in the 1/8 finals of the Champions League looms for Real Sociedad and its recent results, whether in the league or in the Copa del Rey, do not bode well. Only 6th in La Liga, Real had to settle for a draw in Mallorca this week for the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-finals 0-0. Remember that during the previous day, the Basques took a good point on the pitch of Girona 0-0, which as a reminder, has only lost one small match in the league this year, against Real Madrid.

On the other side of the median, we find the outgoing finalist of the Copa del Rey, Osasuna in 12th who does not have at all the same performance as in the two previous seasons in La Liga. Incapable of knocking on the doors of the top 10, the Rojillos are dilettante and stagnate over three days without finding a win, including two successive defeats against FC Barcelona 1-0 and during the reception of Celta Vigo 0-3.

Real Sociedad's medical situation is very worrying. Indeed, boys like Elustondo (important), Aihen Munoz (starting left side, probable end of season), Odriozola (right side, ruptured cruciate ligaments), Carlos Fernandez (meniscus surgery), the very long-term absentee Martin Merquelanz, winter recruit Becker and Tierney (Arsenal, on loan for the season) will be absent today. Eliminated from the Asian Cup with Japan, Kubo (6 goals, 3 assists in La Liga) has returned well and he will be operational like André Silva (RB Leipzig, ready for the season) or again Barrenetxea (3 pawns in the championship) and Umar Sadiq (Nigerian international).

During the transfer window, in order to make up for repeated absences in the defensive sector, the Basque club brought back Javi Galan (Atlético, loan) while Mohamed-Ali Cho was transferred to Nice.
