The Match

Preview

Sports Mole previews Sunday's La Liga clash between Villarreal and Real Sociedad, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.

We said: Villarreal 1-1 Real Sociedad

With so much on the line on Sunday, we predict a tight encounter and see a share of the spoils as the most likely outcome. While the hosts desperately need a win in their pursuit of European qualification, the losses of Danjuma and Moreno could hit them hard against a stronger defence, and we do not see them putting La Real to the sword with a makeshift front line.
