Villarreal-Real Sociedad is a match valid for the sixteenth day of La Liga and is played on Saturday at 6:30pm: lineups, predictions, TV and streaming.
Two in-form teams, who haven’t lost in five consecutive rounds, face each other in a match that puts some heavy points at stake, especially for the hosts, who evidently don’t have a very quiet ranking. That is, to put it better: Villarreal is in mid-table but compared to what are usually seasons, it is not experiencing one of the best moments in its history.
And surely the yellow submarine might be able to come out of this match with a positive result mainly for another reason: the visiting lineup in the coming week will be engaged in the Champions League at San Siro against Inter Milan and will play for the first place in the group, the one that would allow them to avoid a difficult draw. But the match against Simone Inzaghi’s troop is also very difficult, but a thought will undoubtedly be there.
And that is also why Villarreal could take advantage of it, perhaps failing to make the full blow, but bringing home a good draw against a formation that is having an important season both in Spain and in Europe. A draw that could please both.
The prediction
One goal per team sure. Of that we are certain. One goal each and maybe, in the end, even a draw that would move the standings for both. More importantly, it would allow both Villarreal and Real Sociedad to post their sixth useful result in a row. Yes, we’re pretty much sure it will turn out that way.
