Villarreal take on the visitors Real Sociedad in the round 27 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Sunday, April 2nd at Estadio de la Ceramica (Villarreal).
Villarreal seem to have overcome their temporary crisis and have started to steadily accumulate points again. The team has not lost in four consecutive matches, and in three of them they have achieved victories: 3-0 over Osasuna, 2-0 over Almeria, and 2-1 over Getafe. There was also a draw with Betis (1-1), which was played on their own field. What can be seen from these matches? - That the "Yellow Submarine" players have started conceding very few goals. I think they will play reliably in defense in the nearest round. But it will not be easy for Villarreal to score a lot, as Real Sociedad's defense is clearly more reliable than that of teams like Osasuna or Getafe.

It should be added that Villarreal has only played over 2.5 goals in 10 of their 26 rounds. Real Sociedad have even played this total less frequently in their championship matches with opponents, only 8 times. In recent times, Imanol Alguacil's team has consistently played under 2.5 goals in La Liga: 1-1 with Celta Vigo, 0-1 with Valencia, 0-0 with Cadiz, 1-1 with Mallorca, and 2-0 with Elche. Although the "White and Blues" are still in the top 4 of the table, they have started to falter after the break. Goals are harder to come by for this team, but their reliable defense remains, and Real Sociedad still concedes very few goals.
Both teams have set high goals for themselves this season - to qualify for European competitions. The visitors are higher in the table and are in the Champions League zone, only three points behind third-placed Atletico Madrid. However, Villarreal has the advantage of playing at home, and the "Yellow Submarine" has looked stronger than the "White and Blues" in recent times. In terms of the outcome of this match, anything could happen, so the speaker won't make a prediction. However, personally, they don't believe there will be a lot of goals in this match. They predict cautious football, focused primarily on reliable defense. In the first round of this season, Real Sociedad and Villarreal only managed to score one goal between them in their face-to-face encounter. They think there will be no more than two goals this time as well. The bet is Under 2.5 goals.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 scored goals.
