Osasuna and Real Sociedad will face off in the ⅛ finals of Copa Del Rey.
Osasuna faces the task of exerting considerable pressure to break down the resilient Real Sociedad lineup. However, we anticipate that Real Sociedad should have enough offensive prowess to find the back of the net and take the lead in the upcoming match.
Osasuna aims to avoid a repetition of their recent outcome, having suffered a 2-0 defeat against Barcelona in the previous Supercopa match.
In 5 of their last 6 encounters, Osasuna has witnessed fewer than three goals per game. In terms of goal distribution during that period, opposing teams scored a total of 6 goals, while Osasuna managed to score 6 as well. It remains to be seen whether this pattern will continue in the upcoming match.
In terms of player availability, Osasuna’s manager Jagoba Arrasate faces minimal concerns, with only Ávila ruled out due to fitness issues. The rest of the squad is fully ready for the forthcoming clash.
Last 5 Games: Won: 3, Draw: 0, Lost: 2, Scored: 5, Conceded: 5, Clean Sheets: 3.
Real Sociedad and their fans are eager for an improved outcome in their upcoming match after suffering a defeat against Athletic Bilbao in their last La Liga game.
A noticeable trend in recent games involving Real Sociedad is the occurrence of at least one team failing to score, happening in 5 out of their last six matches. During these encounters, Real Sociedad’s opponents scored a total of 1 goal, while Real Sociedad managed to find the net 5 times.
Real Sociedad’s manager, Imanol Alguacil, currently faces challenges with reduced team options, as Sadiq and Merquelanz won’t be available for consideration in the upcoming match.
