Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
Osasuna and Real Sociedad go head to head at Estadio El Sadar in what is expected to be one of the most exciting games of Saturday’s program. Los Rojillos failed to impress in a 3-1 loss to Marcelino’s Villarreal and, as a result, the odds for away win have been dropping. Darko Brasanac continues to miss out with injury, while fellow midfielder Enrique Barja faces race against the clock to be fit for the match.
La Real, on the other hand, aim to build on back-to-back wins over Almeria and Sevilla. Real Sociedad are more of a team than Osasuna and seeing that Imanol Alguacil can count on key players for the El Sadar showdown, away triumph should be considered. The likes of Carlos Fernandez, David Silva, and Martin Merquelanz are out of contention with injuries for the visiting side, while Umar Sadiq should keep his place up front after finding the net in the victory over los Sevillanos.
