The host of this duel has six points more than the guests, which are in the relegation zone but both teams are in long negative series. Real Sociedad has four consecutive defeats, and Deportivo did not celebrate the previous six games. In the first part of the season, Real Sociedadhas defeated Deportivo at Riazor with 4-2.
Real Sociedad appears to be in problems and only thing that keeps them alive is placement in the sixteenth finals of Europa League, but these games are also getting closer, and if this team does not urgently improve their form, the elimination is inevitable. They are playing desperately bad, and in the last ten matches, they have made only one triumph against the strong Sevilla in their field.
They have also played a draw in Bilbao, and all are defeats. Now they have a series of four lost duels and can be a little comforted that one was from Barcelona, and the last against Villarreal away, and both times it was 4-2 for their opponents. They have also lost to Leganes and Celta, and additional blow was I.Martinez’s departure who went to play for Athletic. Rodrigues will now jump instead, and midfielder Zurutuz is struggling with injuries.
Probable lineups Real Sociedad: Tono – Odriozola, R.Navas, D.Llorente, Rodrigues – Illarramendi, Canales, Xabi Prieto . Januzaj, Oyarzabal, Willian Jose
Another dreary season for Deportivo and this team is playing equally bad from the start of the championship and there was no escaping, so the placement is in line with that, meaning they were never over the 15th place, while they are now again in the relegation zone, because they are in the new negative series of six rounds without a win. In the aforementioned six rounds, they have only played two draws, with four defeats, two of which were very convincing, with Barcelona 4-0 and Real in Madrid with 7-1.
In the last round they played a draw with Levante in their field and it can be said that they dropped two points as they had 2-0 lead. The other goal was scored with one player less on the field, however, that was exactly what they were doing when they were left without power and received two goals. Borger has a red card and will not automatically be in this match as well as striker Andone due to yellow cards. They had to bring Krohn-Dehli as reinforcement in the meantime, so maybe he could play right away.
Probable lineups Deportivo: Ruben – Juanfran, Boveda, Schar, Luisinho – Guilherme, Krohn-Dehli – Lucas Perez, Gil, Colak – A.Lopez
Real Sociedad is under the imperative of victory and in this round, he will do everything to break the negative series. Things are no better in Deportivo, however, this is not exactly a match where we should expect them to celebrate, so we believe in a safe triumph of the host.
