Prediction
Real Sociedad suffered a shock 2-1 defeat to Getafe in their last fixture to leave them winless in their last two league games now. Brais Mendez scored the only goal for Sociedad in what was a disappointing game for them.
Espanyol almost completed a stunning comeback against Sevilla, but fell short and lost 3-2 at home. Joselu and Martin Braithwaite both scored in the defeat in what was a positive performance for the team, apart from individual errors that led to the goals.
Real Sociedad have won four of the last five meetings between the sides in all competitions. They needed a 96th-minute winner from Alexander Isak to beat Espanol 1-0 back in April.

预测
皇家社会在上一场比赛中1 - 2不敌赫塔菲，这使得他们最近两场联赛都没有赢过。布雷斯·门德斯在这场令人失望的比赛中为社会打进了唯一的一球。
西班牙人几乎在对阵塞维利亚的比赛中完成了惊人的逆转，但最终在主场以3-2的比分输掉了比赛。何塞卢和马丁·布雷斯韦特都在这场失利中进球，这对球队来说是积极的表现，除了个人失误导致的进球。
皇家社会在最近5次双方在各项赛事的交锋中赢得了4次胜利。今年4月，他们需要亚历山大·伊萨克在第96分钟的制胜球才能1-0击败西班牙人。
