Real Sociedad has been without a win in the last three rounds, but still has a chance to chase a spot in Europe. It became clear that the team's coach, Ilguasil, will not lead the team next season. Lately, Real Sociedad has not been consistent or convincing at all. They have three wins in the last 10 rounds, but all three were against the three teams currently in the relegation zone.
Unpleasant loss for Athletic on ThursdayAthletic Bilbao suffered an unpleasant 0:3 loss to Manchester United on Thursday and practically will not be able to qualify for the Europa League final, which will be held at their stadium. They have to defend their fourth place and play in the Champions League next season. In the league, Athletic has only two losses in the last 24 rounds, both with a 0:1 score in away games against Real and Atletico Madrid. Seven out of the last eight matches of Athletic in the league had under 2.5 goals.
Prediction: under 2.5 goals, drawIt seems to me that Real Sociedad is not the favorite in this match, despite the home advantage. Athletic, however, is wounded after the heavy loss in Europe. Overall, I expect a relatively evenly matched game, in which it is difficult to predict a winner and few goals in the match.
