Real Sociedad vs Girona FC Best odds and tips

Girona FC’s need for survival points is greater than Real Sociedad’s need to finish in mid-table, but the bookies are giving the hosts a narrow edge in the odds at 2.444. The Catalan club are available at 3.25 to snatch a win and that’s probably where the value lies in this La Liga matchup. Real Sociedad have won seven, drawn three and lost seven of their 17 home La Liga fixtures this season, a mixed bag of results that leaves them 12th in 2024/25 with 43 points from 35 games. Imanol Alguacil has been at the helm since December 2018 and his side are a well-disciplined, possession-based team that likes to control the tempo of games and build up patiently. Girona FC, who have won just three of their 17 away La Liga fixtures this season, are in 15th spot on 38 points from 35 games and are in desperate need of points to pull them away from the drop zone. Michel has done a decent job since taking over in July 2021 and his teams have played some attacking football, but they have had to be more cautious recently as the pressure of survival has mounted.

Takefusa Kubo gives Sociedad the creativity and technical quality to unlock stubborn defences with his movement and passing, while Mikel Oyarzabal is their main goal threat with eight goals in 32 La Liga appearances. He has scored both of his team's last two goals. Cristhian Stuani leads the line for Girona FC with nine goals in 29 league games, but three of those have come in their last four games and he is the true clutch finisher they need to drag them away from the relegation zone. Viktor Tsygankov brings pace and unpredictability on the break and regularly threatens with direct runs when Girona are on the counter. This will be a clash of styles with Sociedad looking to control and Girona looking to counter and we’re expecting a tight tussle on Sunday. Neither side has won in their last two respective home or away games and we think this could be another game where neither side can break the deadlock. With neither side in good form in front of goal and both capable of defending well, the under 2.5 goals market looks a good alternative to the draw or Real Sociedad win.
