Our Predictions
Celta plays at home and is slightly favored by oddsmakers (2.35). Real Sociedad's recent away form is poor and they are hampered by multiple injuries; Celta will look to exploit this in a crucial match for both teams.
Recent matches between these sides tend to be tight affairs. Combined with both teams' struggles in front of goal and the high stakes of the relegation battle, a low-scoring game is likely. The odds of 1.57 for under 2.5 suggest this is a common outcome.
With Celta focusing on keeping things tight at the back and Sociedad struggling to create clear chances due to injuries, it’s reasonable to expect at least one side to draw a blank. Bookmakers put the 'No' outcome at 1.75, favoring a clean sheet on one side.
