Villarreal are currently in seventh place in the La Liga standings and have not been at their best on the domestic front this season. The Yellow Submarines thrashed Rayo Vallecano by a 5-1 margin in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.

Real Sociedad, on the other hand, are in sixth place in the league table at the moment and have been fairly impressive in the league. The Basque outfit secured a convincing 3-0 victory against Cadiz last week and will be confident ahead of this fixture.

Villarreal vs Real Sociedad Prediction

Real Sociedad have exceeded expectations so far this season but have not been particularly consistent in the league. The likes of Alexander Isak and Mikel Oyarzabal can be lethal on their day and will need to step up this weekend.

Villarreal had an excellent run in the Champions League but are yet to make amends in La Liga. Both teams have flattered to deceive so far and we expect them to play out a draw in this fixture.
