Celta Vigo will welcome Real Sociedad to the Estadio Municipal de Balaidos in La Liga on Sunday (October 16).
The hosts are 11th in the standings with ten points. Celta are coming off a 1-0 win at Barcelona, with Pedri's 17th-minute strike proving to be the difference. Sociedad, meanwhile, have seen an uptick in form and are on a six-game winning streak across competitions. They have kept clean sheets in their last three.
Brais Mendez continued his fine form, scoring in the 33rd minute as Sociedad downed Villarreal last week. They continued their winning ways in the UEFA Europa League, beating Sheriff 3-0 at home in midweek to avoid an early elimination.

Los Celestes have been inconsistent this season, with three losses and as many wins in their last six league outings. They have scored just twice in their last four games, which could be their undoing here.
Sociedad, meanwhile, have a solid record on their recent trips to Celta. Considering their recent winning run across competitions, they should eke out a narrow win.
