THE PREDICTION
The home team come into this on the back of a comfortable and composed, controlling 2-0 victory over Celta Vigo. That result means La Real come into this matchday back on top-of-the-table after an extremely impressive campaign so far. They come up against their arch-rivals Athletic who are also steadily progressing under Marcelino but not quite at the rate of Real Sociedad. The visitors come into this on the back of four matches without a defeat. Only three teams have conceded fewer than ten goals this season and two of those are these two. This is a Basque derby that is always a tight affair and this is expected to be a low-scoring edition of the rivalry.
