Osasuna vs Real Sociedad Preview and Team News
Osasuna Team News
After some poor recent results, Osasuna could really do with the boost of a derby victory this weekend in La Liga. Alessio Lisci’s men have only taken one point from their last five matches. They headed into the international break following a 0-0 draw with Real Oviedo and a 1-0 defeat to Sevilla.
Those were two relatively even contests, but Los Rojillos didn’t show much quality in either. In recent weeks, they’ve placed more emphasis on trying to dominate possession, but aren’t progressing the ball quickly or effectively enough.

Moi Gómez is perhaps the most natural creative player in this squad. The 31-year-old has been deployed as a deep midfielder and completed the most passes for Osasuna in each of their last two outings. However, he failed to play the kinds of balls that can really open up a tight game.
The hosts are currently hampered by the significant injury absence of striker Ante Budimir. Jon Moncayola, Iker Benito and Valentin Rosier are also sidelined.
Osasuna predicted lineup vs Real Sociedad (4-2-3-1): Herrera; Bretones, Catena, Boyomo, Arguibide; Torró, Gómez; Rubén García, Oroz, Muñoz; Raúl García.
Real Sociedad Team News
Despite only being appointed in the Summer, Sergio Francisco’s job was already on the line when he won just one of his first nine encounters as Real Sociedad’s boss. He now seems to have ridden out the storm, with victories over Sevilla and Athletic Club, followed by a 1-1 draw at Elche.
While there are still areas for improvement, La Real were good value for their return of seven points from the last three matches. In midfield, there is more balance with recent signing Carlos Soler looking sharper alongside Brais Méndez. Those are two technically gifted players who have the freedom to get forward, with youngster Jon Gorrotxategi playing the anchor role.
Mikel Oyarzabal’s impressive form up front is giving Real Sociedad a greater goal threat than was evident during most of last season. He’s sure to start at El Sadar, despite playing in both of Spain’s internationals. The final visiting lineup will depend on whether Igor Zubeldia and Yangel Herrera can recover from injuries. Orri Steinn Óskarsson and Jon Karrikaburu are rated doubtful.
Real Sociedad predicted lineup vs Osasuna (4-3-3): Remiro; Gómez, Martín, Zubeldia, Aramburu; Méndez, Gorrotxategi, Soler; Barrenetxea, Oyarzabal, Guedes.

Osasuna vs Real Sociedad Prediction, Odds
- Pick: Real Sociedad to win
- Odds: +185 (Tonybet)
- Correct score prediction: Osasuna 0-1 Real Sociedad
Osasuna are struggling at the moment and are severely weakened by the absence of Budimir. The Croatian has scored 42 goals in La Liga since the start of the 2023/24 season. That’s a phenomenal return in what hasn’t otherwise been a great side, and they need to adapt their style considerably whenever he doesn’t feature.
While back-up striker Raúl García is also tall, he’s not as strong or as effective in the air as Budimir. Any attempts to evolve into a more expansive approach under Lisci haven’t succeeded so far. This could be another difficult afternoon for the hosts against Real Sociedad, who are starting to play with a bit more belief and cohesion.
Osasuna vs Real Sociedad Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Under 2.5 goals
- Odds: -157 (Tonybet)
With Osasuna missing their main striker, and their opponents heavily dependent on Oyarzabal in the final third, this local derby is unlikely to serve up a flurry of goals. The hosts aren’t creating many chances either, with 1.0 xG or fewer in five of their last seven La Liga matches.
There’s more attacking potential in this Real Sociedad side, but the talented Take Kubo hasn’t been in great form. He’s lost his place to Gonçalo Guedes in recent weeks, but the Portuguese winger hasn’t offered a consistent threat either.
