Forecast: Real Sociedad's victory over Espanyol. In the first round, Espanyol lost and didn't score a goal, having problems in attack, while Sociedad showed a decent game despite missing several key players. Real has won all recent head-to-head matches against Espanyol, has a more solid squad, and more experience in La Liga. Everything points to an away win in this clash.
Espanyol - Real Sociedad. Espanyol is strong at home and can put up a fight against their opponent. They have a chance to at least get a draw. Real Sociedad does not look so confident, and the hosts have the advantage in head-to-head encounters. A bet on 1X at odds of 1.77 is a good choice, as even a draw will be a win for those who trust Espanyol. The fighters under Kosmidis' leadership can well hold on to at least one point.
My prediction for the Espanyol - Real Sociedad match: Both teams will score. Both teams lost in the first round, now they will want to show their attacking game and make up for the lost points. Espanyol always fights at home, and Real Sociedad has dangerous attacking players. Recent head-to-head matches indicate that both teams often score against each other. All of this creates the conditions for a high-scoring game.
