The Ryals were disappointed in the opening match of La Liga 2023/24. Having scored a quick goal in the 5th minute, Real Sociedad played defensive football, trying to keep the result. In the 72nd minute of the match, Dovbyk from Girona balanced the score. As a result, Real Sociedad and the Catalans finished the match with a score of 1:1. The Ryals played the match of the opening round according to the 1-4-3-3 scheme.

Celta lost the opening match against Osasuna with a score of 0:2. Moreover, the result was expected. Osasuna was stronger, more dangerous, and hit the Celta goal more often. Celta hit the goal only once, having played on the xG index by 0.85. If Celta plays at the same level in San Sebastian, it is unlikely that they will be able to score the first points in the Spanish championship.

Both teams started the season poorly. Real Sociedad gave the initiative to Girona and paid for it. Celta also had a weak game against Osasuna, hitting the opponent's goal only once in 90 minutes. Real is an ambitious team. They will represent Spain in the Champions League and fight for the top 4 this season. However, they need to win home games regularly and not lose points in them. Celta is a very convenient competitor, so Real Sociedad has to achieve the first victory of the season.
