Prediction: 1-1

Real Sociedad

There will be fireworks when Athletic Club and Real Sociedad face each other at Estadio San Mames in the Basque derby. The Lions quickly bounced back from a 2-0 loss to Real Madrid, with the team beating Huesca, while sharing the spoils with Villarreal in the previous two league fixtures. Athletic Club aim to give fans yet another reason for celebration, but this game will be anything but a walk in the park for the hosts.

Peru Nolaskoain should be the only absentee in the home team ahead of the visit of Real Sociedad. La Real, on the other hand, aim to make amends for a 2-0 loss to Atletico Madrid. The good news for the visitors is that Mikel Oyarzabal has overcome his injury, and we predict that he is going to pose a big threat to the opposition defenders. Anyhow, a close encounter is on the cards in the local derby, and we are tempted to put our money on draw.
