Villarreal hosts Real Sociedad in the fourteenth round of the Spanish La Liga.
Villarreal comes after a 2-1 win vs. Cadiz in the Cup, where they rested most of the starters to have them fresh for this game. It was the second win in a row for Villarreal in Spain and they needed this morale after going trough a rough patch of form in November … getting just 1 point in 3 games before beating Getafe 2-1 last round. But still the level of football from Villarreal is not the same as early in the season, they are not in the best form. For today, the hosts will miss their star player Giovanni Dos Santos, Musacchio, Perez, Jokic and probably Iniguez.
Bet on Villarreal vs. Real Sociedad with the highest asian handicap odds at 10Bet.
Real Sociedad had a tough season up until now, but since David Moyes took over they look in much better shape … especially on the defensive end: Sociedad kept 3 clean sheets in the 3 games under Moyes and overall did not lose in the last 4 matches. In the middle of the week they finished tied 0-0 at Oviedo in the Copa Del Rey, but Moyes fielded a second string unit. The offense still needs a little bit of work apparently … it is too dependent of Vella, who scored all of Sociedad’s goals in the last three games (hattrick in last round vs. Elche). Team news for Sociedad say that Agirretxe, Zurutza and Zaldua are unavailable for today.
Villarreal looked like a better team this season but they are not playing great in the last month and Real Sociedad is on the rise with a new coach … playing better organized football under Moyes. Home court advantage will be important for Villarreal, but I think Sociedad has the weapons and the confidence to take a point from this game. My tip will be Real Sociedad +0,75 asian handicap. Correct score prediction: Villarreal – Real Sociedad 1-1.
Pick: Sociedad (+0,75 Asian Handicap)
