Team News

Real Sociedad
Villarreal
  • Mikel Gonzalez is again available following his ban.
  • The hosts may be without Alberto De la Bella and José Ángel.
  • The club have plans to sell Jonathan De Guzman this summer, according to Marca.

Prediction

  • A Europa League place is at stake between Villarreal and Real Sociedad. The Basques are three points ahead of their visitors in the standings, and therefore a draw will be enough for them. As for Villarreal, only a win will suffice as it will see them end the season equal on points and with a better head to head.
  • La Real have been in poor form of late drawing their last two games. Despite recent failures, they usually are unbeatable at home. Given what there is still to play for and the fact they will be playing at home, they hold the advantage in this game.
  • Both teams play enterprising and attractive football and therefore this could be one of the games to watch, especially for the neutrals.
