Odds: Villarreal (8/11) Draw (11/4) Sociedad (7/2)Gamingtips Prediction – Villarreal 1:1 Sociedad
Villarreal come into this tie full of confidence after a 5:1 win over Sociedad just a few days ago. Sociedad were 5:0 down before 60 minutes and if they are to stay in the Copa del Rey they will need to defend better against a team who have been scoring for fun lately. Sociedad face the third best defensive side in the Spanish Primera and although they are just two points behind Villarreal, they will have a tough task breaking down a side that has lost just 2 of their last 13 at home. From a betting perspective, Villarreal are very short given that they were playing football in the Spanish Segunda last season. Real Sociedad finished 4th in the Spanish Primera last season and they offer value at odds of 7/2.
