There will be fireworks when Real Sociedad and Athletic Club lock horns in the Basque derby on Sunday. Real Sociedad managed to edge out Sevilla 2-1 in their previous league outing, yet the victory was not enough to lift them out of the danger zone. With Venezuela international Yangel Herrera limping off with injury in the last Primera Division game, former Valencia man Carlos Soler is widely expected to start against the Lions.
Meanwhile, Ernesto Valverde’s men suffered a shocking 1-0 loss to Getafe at the weekend, with the team dropping to ninth place in the standings. The Lions aim to move closer to the Champions League berth, but with Real Sociedad being tough to beat in San Sebastian, there is a big value in betting on draw. Inaki Williams remains in the recovery room, while Inigo Lekue is a major doubt after picking up a knock against los Azulones.
This Primera Division match will be played on Saturday 1 November 2025 at 17:30.
