Real Sociedad hosts Celta in round 31 of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Thursday, April 22nd at Reale Seguros Stadium (San Sebastian)
Real Sociedad has finally played the final match of the 2020 Copa del Rey. The White and Blues and Athletic postponed their confrontation to the last, dreaming of playing in front of the fans. But in this matter, the coronavirus turned out to be more stubborn. Well, the fans in San Sebastian can console themselves with the fact that their favorites proved to be stronger than their neighbors in a boring match. And Real Sociedad has won the first trophy since the 80s of the last century. It is clear that the club is celebrating this, so it has not managed to find proper motivation yet. First, the Basques lost the 2-goal lead at Mestalla, allowing Valencia to gain a draw. And on Sunday, having opened the scoring already in the 5th minute, they eventually lost to Sevilla at home.

The Celts remember last season very well, as they had to fight for survival almost until the last round. Under Eduardo Coudet, who headed the club in the fall, Celta became a tough LaLiga middle peasant, which is a very confident step forward. But because of this, motivation is lost. The Sky Blues have already scored 38 points, that is, much more than one of the three outsiders. But it is not enough to threaten the positions of Real Sociedad and company in the European Cup zone. So, it is not surprising that Iago Aspas and company have rarely won recently (only one victory over the modest Alaves in the last five matches). In the round before last, the Celts arranged a goal shootout against Sevilla, when they were losing and winning but eventually suffered a 4-3 defeat. And last Sunday, Coudet's team gained only a goalless draw on the field of modest Cadiz.
The visitors in this pair have won three times in a row. The teams exchanged minimal 1-0 wins on foreign fields in the previous season. And in November, Real Sociedad gained a landslide 4-1 victory in Vigo. Now the Basques are unlikely to work like dogs, but the same can be said about Celta. However, the class of Real Sociedad is clearly higher, so we can believe that the hosts will win on Thursday.
Prediction for the match: Real Sociedad to win
