Mercurial squad Real Sociedad (4-7-4, 16 points) will be looking to find consistency in their game against tough team Villarreal CF (8-4-3, 27 points) at the Anoeta Stadium on Sunday as the 2015-2016 La Liga season moves forward.
Sociedad is currently in 13th place of the league table after two wins, three losses, and a draw in their last six matches. They are on a two-game unbeaten streak right now, but Eusebio Sacristán's boys still lack the momentum to carry on a sustained run.
Their last match was a 1-1 draw with Getafe at the Coliseum Alfonso Perez on December 11th, as per Goal.
Getafe midfielder Pablo Sarabia broke a goalless first half at the 46th minute to give Txuriurdin somewhat of a scare.
However, Sociedad striker Imanol Agirretxe would not be denied as he equalized the game with a right-footed shot from the right side of the box off a beautiful feed from Brazilian forward Jonathas.
Meanwhile, Villarreal pulled off an impressive 1-0 upset win over league powerhouse Real Madrid at the Estadio El Madrigal last Sunday to move up to fifth place in the league table, via BBC Sport.
El Submarino Amarillo surprised the Bernabéu giants right from the opening kick-off with relentless attacks resulting in an early goal from Spanish striker Roberto Soldado at the eighth minute.
Even with the attacking trio of Cristiano Ronaldo, Gareth Bale, and Karim Benzema all available, Los Blancos was not able to find the equalizer amidst the hosts suffocating defense.
Villarreal hopes to carry over the momentum of their big win in their game against Sociedad this Sunday.
The prediction is a 3-0 romp for Villarreal.
Real Sociedad starting lineup (4-2-3-1 formation): Rulli; Elustondo, Reyes, Martinez, de la Bella; Illarramendi, Granero; Vela, Canales, Bruma; Agirretxe
Villarreal starting lineup (4-4-2 formation): Areola; Bailly, Musacchio, Ruiz, Costa; dos Santos, Trigueros, Bruno, Suarez; Bakambu, Soldado
