Real Sociedad vs Celta Vigo Preview

Real Sociedad vs Celta Vigo

Competition – Spanish Primera

Stadium – Estadio Anoeta

Date: 26th November 2018

Kick-off time – 20:00 GMT

This game sees Real Sociedad continue their search for a first home win of the season against a Celta Vigo side that hasn’t done badly but still fired their manager during the international break.

Celta Vigo went into the international break with just 3 points separating them from seventh position, however, their board still decided to fire Antonio Mohamed who has brought an exciting brand of football to Celta.

They have named Miguel Cardozo who just left Nantes with just 6 points from 8 games in charge.

He could be seen as a step backwards but can make a good impression with a win here.

Real Sociedad are yet to win a home game in the league this season, but they have done very well away from home.

Their season has been largely hot and cold, but they remain one of the teams to beat in the division.

Since they renovated their stadium, they have dropped points against the likes of Girona and Rayo and that could give Celta the feeling that they can get something out of this game especially as they have just named a new manager.

Celta have won 2 of their last 3 visits to Real Sociedad and these teams have recorded two wins and two draws each in their last 6 meetings against eachother.

Bookmakers make Real Sociedad odds-on favourites to get the job done here while goal markets suggest there will be goals as over 2.5 goals is trading odds-on.
