Real Sociedad VS Deportivo La Coruna

Real Sociedad’s leaky defense stands out as their most glaring issue across the first seven matchdays, with 13 goals conceded against just 9 scored, averaging nearly two goals lost per game. Their home form has been especially underwhelming: across three home fixtures, they have recorded only 1 win, 1 draw and 1 loss, scoring a mere 2 goals while conceding 4, meaning their long-famed Anoeta Stadium is no longer the intimidating fortress it used to be. They snapped a two-game losing streak with a narrow 3-2 away win over Valencia last time out, with Sučić, Soler and Barrenetxea each getting on the scoresheet, giving their overall form a much-needed boost. As the newly promoted side, Deportivo La Coruna made a stunning unbeaten start of 2 wins and 2 draws across their first four fixtures, but their form has dipped sharply recently. They have failed to win any of their last three league outings, and hold a record of just 2 wins, 5 draws and 3 losses across their past 10 matches, making them a side that regularly churns out drawn results. Their away resilience is well worth noting, as they remain unbeaten on the road across three trips, with a notable 3-2 upset win over Villarreal among their results.
