Written before the matchReal Sociedad and Celta Vigo meet in La Liga at Anoeta, with both sides looking to improve on difficult starts to their respective campaigns. The hosts enter this fixture buoyed by a recent home victory, while the visitors arrive in search of their first league win.
Recent form
Real Sociedad secured their first league win of the season in their most recent outing, edging past Espanyol at home. This result followed a challenging sequence of league defeats against Real Betis and Real Madrid. Celta Vigo have found the going tough in La Liga, failing to pick up a win in their three matches played so far. Their recent form across all competitions shows they have struggled to find a result, suffering back-to-back league losses against Osasuna and Athletic Club following a goalless draw at Valencia.
Previous meetings
The recent history between these two sides is dominated by Celta Vigo, who have claimed victories in both of their last two encounters. Real Sociedad have yet to register a point or a goal in these meetings.
Key factors
- Real Sociedad have seen an improvement at home, remaining unbeaten in their two most recent matches at Anoeta.
- Celta Vigo have found it difficult to secure results on the road recently, failing to win in their two most recent away matches.
- The visitors are missing both A. Febas and B. Iglesias due to injury.
- Real Sociedad will be without A. Odriozola and P. Marin for this fixture.
What to expect
Real Sociedad appear to have found a measure of stability at home after their win against Espanyol, which may give them a slight edge. Conversely, Celta Vigo are experiencing a winless streak in league play and face a difficult trip to a stadium where they have historically performed well but currently face a side finding its feet.
