Real Sociedad vs Celta Vigo Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | LaLiga 2024-25

The visitors secured an easy win over Celta Vigo when the two teams last met.

Real Sociedad are ready to battle Celta Vigo at home in the match week 36 of the LaLiga 2024-25 season. The interesting Spanish league clash between the two sides is all set to take place at the Reale Arena.

Real Sociedad are in the 12th spot on the LaLiga points table. They have consistently come up with poor performances, which has led them to drop points. Sociedad will surely have the advantage of the home ground, but their confidence levels will be on the lower side.

Celta de Vigo have started looking in good touch. They are coming in after securing a win over Sevilla in their last Spanish league contest. Celta Vigo are in the seventh spot at the moment and are most likely to secure a spot in the UEFA Europa League for the upcoming season.

Players to Watch

Mikel Oyarzabal (Real Sociedad)

The 28-year-old Spaniard will have an important role to play in the attacking front for the hosts. Celta Vigo will attack at a good rate, and Mikel Oyarzabal will have to step up and lead the final third for his side. He has 10 goal involvements in 31 LaLiga games this season and will be looking to add more.

Borja Iglesias (Celta Vigo)

Borja Iglesias can be a lethal weapon for Celta Vigo in the attacking front. The Spanish forward has 12 goal contributions in 33 Spanish league games. He recently scored a hat-trick against in-form Barcelona.

Iglesias, with the help of fellow teammates, is going to trouble Real Sociedad’s defence.
