Real Sociedad remains hopeful to finish the season in the top as they lock horns with CA Osasuna, who wants to earn more wins. Sociedad is currently with a five point lead against the team at the fifth. Although it is still a safe lead, Sociedad wants to have a larger gap so they could finally seal their spot. Osasuna on the other hand is bidding to get their third straight wins in the league. This is important for them so they could land a good place in the league table. Additionally, Osasuna is also aiming to get their good run going in preparation for the next round. This meeting will be on April 29, 2023, at 3:00 AM (GMT+8), with Osasuna as hosts.
Prior to this match, these two teams already shared 43 meetings, with the visitors having a huge advantage. From those meetings, the visitors already have 22 wins, as opposed to the hosts’ 10. The last three matches of these two teams ended with a win for the visitors, so the hosts are hoping for a different result here. Despite this result, it seems like the hosts are the ones with a better momentum here. The hosts are currently sitting at the eighth of the league table with 44 points. Meanwhile, the visitors are at the fourth spot with 55 points across their names.
Real Sociedad
Sociedad is a team who have been impressive this season, which is why they are currently at the fourth of the league table. They are a team who is now aiming for more wins as they want to finally secure their spot in the Champions League. A five-point lead for Sociedad is not a safe lead for them, so they want to win as many wins they can. It is just unfortunate that they were held in a goalless draw on their last match against the Betis. Although they are impressive this season, they have been battling with inconsistency. This is one of the reason why they failed to win their last match. For this game, Sociedad is hopeful to be able to improve their game, and be at their best here. However, if they want to make it happen, they need to address these issues, and be at their best here.
No fresh injury concern for Sociedad, but Diego Rico, Umar Sadiq, and Martin Merquelanz all remain on the sidelines. Fortunately, Mikel Merico, and David Silva is set to return in this match.
CA Osasuna
Osasuna on the other hand is currently at the eighth of the league table with 44 points across their names. A win in this match could make them climb at the seventh of the league table with 47 points. However, just like their opponent, they are also battling with inconsistencies this season. They are fortunate enough to win in their match against Cadiz, in a 1-0 win for them. For this match, they are hoping for the same result, or an even better result to improve their standings. Fortunately, they are a team who have been impressive this season, and are having a good momentum recently. They are now aiming to get their third straight win in the league, to prepare for the next round. Earning nine points from their last four games is already big for them, but are still aiming to add in this tally.
Osasuna will be without Darko Brasanac, who still endure his knee injury, while Abde Ezzalzouli is out due to a suspension.

Real Sociedad (2.0)
