Real Sociedad will entertain local rivals Athletic Bilbao at the Reale Arena in the Basque derby in La Liga on Saturday (January 14).

Bilbao will head into this game in a three game unbeaten run and will be looking to extend that run. On the attack, they have been fairly decent as they have found the back of the net 24 times. At the back, they have been equally impressive as they have given opponents very little to chew on. With only 14 goals conceded this season, Bilbao have the third best defense in the league and this will certainly back their confidence going into this game.

Real Sociedad on the other hand will go into this game following a bad spell in this fixture. They have failed to secure a single victory in their last 4 meetings in all competitions with Athletic Bilbao. They were very poor in those fixtures and conceded a total of 7 goals, while scoring only 2. In the league, Real Sociedad have had an inconsistent run of games, as they fell to defeat once and suffered a draw in their last 5 games.

Looking at the records have shown that Athletic Bilbao have the upper hand in this fixture. They are currently on a 2-game winning streak against their hosts and will be looking to extend that record. Additionally, Bilbao are on a 4 game unbeaten run against Real Sociedad. We are backing Athletic Bilbao here as we expect them to do enough to avoid a defeat by either securing a victory or by earning a draw.

本周六(1月14日)，皇家社会将在雷亚尔球场迎战当地对手毕尔巴鄂竞技，参加西甲巴斯克德比。

毕尔巴鄂将以三场不败的战绩进入本场比赛，并将继续保持不败。在进攻中，他们表现得相当不错，他们已经24次破门。在后防线上，他们同样令人印象深刻，因为他们几乎没有给对手什么咀嚼的机会。本赛季只丢了14球，毕尔巴鄂的防守在联赛中排名第三，这肯定会让他们在这场比赛中信心满满。

另一方面，皇家社会将在这场比赛中经历一段糟糕的时期。在最近4次与毕尔巴鄂竞技的比赛中，他们没有取得一场胜利。他们在这些比赛中表现很差，总共丢了7球，只进了2球。在联赛中，皇家社会的比赛表现不稳定，他们在最近5场比赛中遭遇了一场失败和一场平局。

从记录来看，毕尔巴鄂竞技在这场比赛中占据了上风。他们目前在对阵东道主的比赛中取得了两连胜，并将寻求延续这一纪录。此外，毕尔巴鄂对皇家社会保持了4场不败。我们在这里支持毕尔巴鄂竞技，因为我们希望他们能够通过确保胜利或获得平局来避免失败。
