Espanyol head into the final La Liga matchday boosted by a 2-1 win over Osasuna that confirmed their top-flight survival. As both Espanyol and Real Sociedad will be with guards down in Saturday's game, we predict a 2-2 draw. With little left to play for, the hosts have still shown occasional resilience, but their overall form remains poor, winning just two of their last ten matches while scoring only 0.8 goals per game. Defensively they have also been vulnerable, particularly at home where they concede around 1.0 goal per match. Midfielder Pol Lozano is suspended, slightly limiting their midfield balance.
Real Sociedad aim to recover from a 4-3 loss to Valencia, but they have little to play for after lifting the Copa del Rey to book European football next season. Their league results have dipped, with just one win in ten matches, though they continue to create chances, averaging 1.7 goals per game. Defensive issues remain a concern, especially away from home where they have failed to keep a clean sheet in their last five. However, the return of Ander Barrenetxea and Duje Ćaleta-Car from suspension should provide a timely boost.
As 61% of H2H meetings saw goals at both ends, we are tempted to bet on Both Teams to Score, alongside Over 2.5 goals and Over 8.5 corners.
This Primera Division match will be played on Saturday 23 May 2026 at 20:00.
