Real Sociedad vs Osasuna Preview

Real Sociedad will be missing Iñigo Martínez through suspension after his red card in Madrid. Mikel Gonzalez will replace him at the heart of defence, slotting in alongside Raul Navas. Carlos Vela will play on the right side of attack, opposite Mikel Oyarzabal, with Willian Jose looking to move onto double figures for the season through the middle.

Osasuna welcome back Fauso from a ban and he should form part of a five-man midfield for the visitors. Salvatore Sirigu will make his league debut in goal, after signing on loan from PSG last week. Mario Fernández is a doubt while the quartet of Javier Flaño, Didier Digard, Miguel Flaño and Nauzet are injured.

Real Sociedad vs Osasuna Prediction

Real Sociedad have had a tough run of fixtures, facing Barcelona home and away in the Copa del Rey and Real Madrid away in La Liga. Los Txuri Urdin will be keen to bounce back to winning ways and continue their push for continental qualification, with a home tie against a struggling side falling nicely for them.

Osasuna are only off the bottom of the table on goal difference and sit eight points from safety. To their credit they have looked more difficult to beat in recent weeks but drawing games is not going to lift them clear of danger. Expect the visitors to pack the midfield here in an attempt to stifle the attacking threat of the home side.

Real Sociedad are undefeated in their last 6 matches against Osasuna in all competitions and the visitors arrive without a win in twelve La Liga matches. The home side have a knack of preventing Osasuna from scoring with seven clean sheets over the last nine meetings. It all points to a comfortable win for Real Sociedad.
