Real Sociedad vs Girona Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | LaLiga 2025-26

The Txuri-Urdin have won both of their last two games against the Blanquivermells.

Real Sociedad will now go head-to-head against Girona FC for their matchweek 16 fixture of the 2025-26 LaLiga. This is going to be an interesting contest between these clubs, which will take place at the Anoeta Stadium.

The Txuri-Urdin are going to be at home for their next league outing and this can be a big advantage for them. They have come up with below-average performances in the Spanish top-tier football this season. Real Sociedad have won four of their 15 games of the ongoing campaign and will be looking to secure another win.

Girona FC are in the relegation zone at the moment and if they continue to perform like this, they might even face demotion at the end of the season. The Blanquivermells have only secured two wins in the LaLiga this season and for their upcoming game, they are going to be under pressure from the start.

Players to Watch

Ander Barrenetxea (Real Sociedad)

The 23-year-old is going to be one of the main men in the final third for Real Sociedad. He can score goals and can also come up with some innovative plays, which are always going to keep the opponent’s defence on edge. Ander Barrenetxea has six goal involvements in 14 LaLiga appearances this season.

Vladyslav Vanat (Girona)

Vladyslav Vanat will be keen to step up his game so that he can help his side in the attacking front for Girona FC. Even though he has only scored three goals in 12 league appearances in the ongoing campaign, Vanat is going to play an important role for his side.
