Real Sociedad – Villarreal PREDICTION & PREVIEW (04.01.2017)

Match of the knockout round of the King’s Cup where Real Sociedad and Villareal face, two teams that are making a great season and that will fight for a position of Champions. Meeting to be held in Anoeta on January 4 at 18:00.

The Basques come to eliminate Valladolid by a global of 4-2 and Villareal to Toledo by 4-1 resolved in the first leg in the Salto del Caballo with a 0-3.

The txuri-urdin have the doubts of Vela, Zurutuza and Bergara that walk with muscular annoyances besides the lows of Aguirretxe, Granero and Iñigo Martínez. And from the yellow team there are up to 8 losses per injury, highlights Musachio lows in the rear and Bakambu point.

I have the option of both teams to score and there are more than 2.5 goals. First I explain the both mark; Real have scored in all their home games except in the first day of the league against Madrid (87.5%), they have scored in 5 of 8 (62.5%). And Villareal has scored in 5 of the 8 (62.5%) and has entered the same number (62.5%).

And in the over the data are not so clear and this is where the difficulty of the pick lies for me, the Real finishes above the over only in the middle of their matches at home.

In the last game that played these teams on September 18 in the fourth day of league ended with a 2-1 for Villareal which would give us the green.

I hope to see the two good attacks of these teams and that the defense strength of Villareal is diminished by the low of Musachio and we see many goals and both sides.

Good luck to all and thank you.
