La Liga returns to action this weekend as Villarreal battles it out with Real Sociedad at the El Madrigal.

The home side will come into this game in 6th position, 7 points behind their visitors. In terms of performance, goals scored and defensive strengths, they have very similar numbers to Real Sociedad, however, their recent head to head record is what will be of concern. In their last 5 meetings with Real Sociedad, Villarreal have only managed to come out with one victory.

Real Sociedad on the other hand will head into this game in 4th position and they will be looking to climb even higher up the league table. They emerged with a victory in their last game against Elche after going on a 2 game winless spell, and they will be hoping to build on that momentum. In both attack and defense, they have been very ruthless and impressive and they will take confidence in that going into this game.

Looking at the records have shown that Real Sociedad have the upper hand in this fixture. They have emerged unbeaten in 4 occasions against Villarreal and scored a total of 6 goals in that time period. They are currently on a 2-game unbeaten streak against their host and they will want to continue that run. We are backing the visitors here as we expect them to do enough to avoid a defeat in this game by either securing a victory or by earning a draw.

西甲联赛本周末重返赛场，比利亚雷亚尔在马德里加尔球场与皇家社会队展开激烈角逐。

主队将以第6名的成绩进入本场比赛，落后客队7分。在表现、进球数和防守强度方面，他们与皇家社会的数据非常相似，但是，他们最近的交手记录令人担忧。近5次与皇家社会的交锋，比利亚雷亚尔仅取得一场胜利。

另一方面，皇家社会将以第 4 名的身份进入这场比赛，他们将寻求在联赛积分榜上攀升得更高。在经历了 2 场不胜后，他们在上一场对阵埃尔切的比赛中取得了胜利，他们希望在这种势头的基础上再接再厉。在进攻和防守方面，他们都非常冷酷无情，令人印象深刻，他们将在这场比赛中充满信心。

从记录来看，皇家社会在这场比赛中占据上风。他们4次对阵比利亚雷亚尔保持不败，在那段时间里总共打进6球。他们目前在对阵东道主的比赛中保持 2 场不败，他们希望继续保持这种势头。我们支持客队，预计他们能够获得胜利或至少是平局。
