Prediction: 2-1
Valladolid
Sunday’s football game at Estadio Municipal de Anoeta pits together Real Sociedad and Real Valladolid, the two teams who have different ambitions for the 2018/2019 La Liga season. La Real are eyeing a place in European competitions, whilst La Pucela aim to secure the La Liga survival. The Basques head into the match following a 1-0 loss to Real Betis, but the fact that they outplayed Celta Vigo in their last home fixture, is surely giving fans a reason for optimism. Real Valladolid, on the other hand, are on a five-game winless run in the Spanish elite division and they experienced all sorts of problems at the back in a 4-2 loss to Leganes at the weekend. Over the years Real Sociedad have turned their Estadio Municipal de Anoeta into a real fortress and we predict that they are going to prove their worth on the field.

Asier Illarramendi is a product of Real Sociedad’s youth school. He played for Real Sociedad B between 2008 and 2011, scoring 7 goals in 93 appearances for the Basque outfit and he made his first team debut on 23 January, 2011 in a 2-1 defeat to Villarreal.
