The last time Real Sociedad won an away match against Espanyol was in 2002. When they take on Espanyol on this Saturday, after seven failed attempts since the last win, they are in a good position to repeat the feat. The team has found some late form, which is evident in their statistics of the last six matches: four wins, a draw and a loss against Real Madrid.

Espanyol is no shrinking violet, but they have gone in the opposite direction of Sociedad’s. They began well, but lost their way in the middle. Five defeats in the last eight matches are not the kind of statistics you look for in a team that you would expect to win.

The H2H statistics is in Sociedad’s favor: 12-9. However, they have found it hard to win against Espanyol in recent times – only one win in the last 12 games. They are at the sixth position now, with 20 points, and Espanyol is at ninth, with 18 points.

None of the teams have had any major injury scares. Espanyol’s Sergio García is in cracking form after last week’s hat-trick against Rayo Vallecano. Sociedad, as usual, will depend on Antoine Griezmann and Carlos Vela for scoring goals.
