On the contrary, Real Sociedad remain unbeatable across five encounters in a row at the end of the season recording 11 points earned and play their best to get into the UEFA Europa League. With only one round left till the end of the season, Real Sociedad occupy the seventh place in the LaLiga standings with 63 points gained and 57-51 goal difference. Athletic Bilbao have the same number of points with Villarreal having one point less and both of them sit in the Eurocups zone. On the road Real Sociedad picked up 28 points in 18 battles with only Real Madrid, Barcelona and Atletico Madrid gaining more points on the road which are the Spanish grands. However, the side managed to earn only four points in five recent encounters.
Real Sociedad have had a slight advantage in their head-to-heads against Celta Vigo during recent 10-15 years. Taking into consideration the teams' motivation on the eve of the last gameweek of the season, the visiting team has good chances to get a win in the forthcoming clash.
Prediction for the match: Real Sociedad to win.
