The first duel in the 5th round of La Liga will be opened by Huesca and Real Sociedad, teams that have won the same number of points, but Real Sociedad is still better ranked because their goal difference is much better. The reason is that Huesca has suffered a very difficult defeat, while Real Sociedad has suffered minimal defeats. It is interesting that both teams achieved victories as guests with 2-1 at home and they also played 2-2 as guests. In their four mutual duels in Segunda, Real Sociedad has celebrated three times, while once was a draw.
Huesca's first historic performance in the La Liga has started with a victory of Eibar, but after four rounds, it was the only triumph they had come to. Good result was also achieved in the second round, because they had to compensate for two goals backlog in Bilbao against Athletic and they eventually recorded 2-2. Their third consecutive hosting was fatal, and it was also the hardest because they had to go play in Barcelona, where they took the lead but lost with 8-2 at the end.
In the last round, there was another historic match, because they played for the first time in the elite rank at home and it was against another new member of La Liga, Rayo Vallecano. Because of the great pressure from the expectations of their home fans, they played very badly and for the first time this season they did not score a goal. Coach Franco has changed the composition after their debut at Nou Camp, and we also expect some changes now, perhaps even in formation.
Probable lineups Huesca: Werner – Miramon, Semedo, Pulido, Luisinho – Aguilera, Musto, Moi Gomez – Melero, Cucho, Longo
Real Sociedad has started a new season with a good game and a victory against Villarreal and it really should be encouraging for their continuation. However, it turned out to be their only win for now because they later played against Leganes and dropped the lead of 2-0, so they had to contend with a draw, although they were only a few minutes away from the victory. Something similar happened in their third consecutive hosting against Eibar.
They had the lead, but then received a goal for 1-1, and then deeply in the injury time, they received another one for their first defeat this season. The first was followed immediately by the second and the first in La Liga in front of their home fans at Anoeta. They welcomed the current champion Barcelona and have managed to take the lead again, played really well, created a few more opportunities but also received two goals, so they were defeated again. They played without their first striker, Willian Jose, who was injured, so Zurutuza was his replacement. Now Merino could be refreshment in midfield.
Probable lineups Real Sociedad: Rulli – Zaldua, A.Elustondo, Moreno, T.Hernandez – Illarramendi, Zurutuza, Merino, Ruben Pardo – Oyarzabal, Juanmi
Both teams have started well and then that changed, but Real Sociedad does not definitely have any problems with scoring goals, so we expect them to continue in that style. Huesca did not score in the last round, but now they announce a more offensive approach, so we expect at least a goal from them.
Pick: both teams to score
