Real Sociedad’s Path to Redemption: Key Insights from Their La Liga Performance and Injury Updates

Current form

Real Sociedad bounced back from a 1-2 opening day defeat at Rayo Vallecano to open the scoring for this season’s La Liga win, with the Basques beating Espanyol 1-0 last weekend . The fans had to be patient before Takefusa Kubo scored the winning goal in the 80th minute. It is a key result as Imanol Alguacil’s men look to establish themselves among the leaders before European football clouds their record. After losing to the “giants” in the first round, the “white-blues” are in danger of losing three official home games in a row for the first time since February 2007.

Disqualification and injuries

Zakharyan (ankle injury), Barrenchea (injury), Elustondo (ankle injury) and Pacheco (knee injury) will not be able to play today.
