A La Liga match at Reale Arena where Real Sociedad seek to extend their strong home record while Real Oviedo fight to end a challenging streak. Whether the Basque side can capitalize on home trends against a struggling Oviedo is the key question.

• ●Shots: Sociedad 18 vs Oviedo 8
• ●Shots on target: Sociedad 6 vs Oviedo 1

Sociedad's Home Assault

Imanol Alguacil's 4-4-2 functions effectively at home. Mikel Oyarzabal and Luka Sučić's partnership generates 2.67 goals per game.

Carlos Soler and Yangel Herrera's midfield combination provides creativity—the 18 shots and 57% possession from the previous meeting should recur.

This time, expect better finishing to match the dominance.

Jorge Almada Álves' 4-2-3-1 has achieved some success grinding draws (53% from 15), but fails to convert to victories.

Federico Viñas struggles upfront. With just 13 goals from 23 matches, scoring at Sociedad's home will prove extremely difficult.
