Sociedad vs Girona: Two Realities Collide in a Match Lacking Fire

Average Futmetrix Score: 52/100. This clash between a mid-table side breathing easy and a team drowning in the relegation zone should crackle with tension—instead, it's a mismatch that fails to ignite genuine intrigue.

The Setup

Real Sociedad stumbles through an inconsistent run (LWDWW) that leaves them tenth with 16 points, safe but unconvincing. Girona, meanwhile, drowns in the basement: 18th with just 12 points from 14 games, losses piling up like a countdown to the drop. The Form is fragile on both sides—Sociedad concedes 1.6 per game, Girona 2.0—but the Stars shine brightest in white and blue.

Key Battle

Mikel Oyarzabal versus Girona's backline. The winger carries three goals and two assists across four matches—a streak that makes him the most dangerous weapon on the pitch. Cristhian Stuani answers from Girona's point, but his three goals in four games offer no defensive shield. Oyarzabal wins this duel convincingly.

Our Prediction

Sociedad controls from kickoff. Girona retreats, hunting for a theft. Oyarzabal and Ander Barrenetxea find space on the flanks, and the hosts break through in the 28th minute. A second arrives in the 67th as Girona's shape crumbles. Stuani pulls one back in the 82nd, but it's window dressing. Real Sociedad 2-1 Girona.
