Real Sociedad: form and statistics

This season, Real Sociedad is focusing on domestic competitions. Last season, they played five matches in La Liga and lost all of them to Real Madrid, Betis, Barcelona, and Rayo. They did manage to win one game on their own turf against Mallorca. After the break, they drew 1-1 against Celta away from home and beat Sevilla at home 2-1. In the mid-week Spanish Cup, they defeated Negreira 3-0 away from home. In that match, Goti, Zakharyan, and Turrientes all scored goals. Overall, the Basque team played a good game and it's clear that after a break, they regained their form after a disappointing start to the season. Before the tour began, Real Sociedad was in 17th place with nine points, leading Valencia, a team in the relegation zone, by goal difference. At home, Real Sociedad ranked 13th in the league, with +2=1-2 and a goal difference of 6:6.

Athletic: form and statistics

Last season, the Basques played six games, two in the Champions League and four in La Liga. In the Champions League, they suffered two defeats to Arsenal and Dortmund, with a combined score of 1-6. In La Liga, they scored four points, losing to Valencia and Villarreal, drawing with Girona, and winning against Mallorca. In the current cycle, Athletic have played three matches in the Champions League. The most significant home victory was over Karabakh, which ended 3-1. In La Liga during this period, they had a 0-0 draw away with Elche and a home defeat against Getafe, which resulted in a 0:1 score. The team played a very poor match against Getafe and it seems that fatigue after the game with Karabakh had an impact. They scored only 0.38 goals during the game against the Citizens, which led to a deserved loss for the average team in the Spanish elite division.

Real Sociedad vs Athletic match prediction 1 November 2025

 This will be an extremely important match, the Basque country derby. Both teams started the season in a difficult way, but Real Sociedad managed to avoid relegation after winning the last game against Sevilla. Overall, Real Sociedad has had a better season so far, and it seems that they have found their form. Athletic, on the other hand, has not been impressive after a break in La Liga. While in the Champions League, they achieved a confident win over Karabakh, in the Spanish league, they only scored one point in two games against Elche and Getafe, dropping them to the middle of the table. Real Sociedad, on the other hand, seems to have the upper hand in terms of form, so we believe it is worth placing a bet on them, giving preference to the home team. Regarding the total goals, we don't expect a high-scoring match, so it wouldn't surprise us if the outcome was decided by a single goal.
