Real Sociedad’s recent form is notably impressive, with four wins and a draw in their last five games, conceding only four goals in that span. Villarreal have been solid but less consistent, mixing wins with a loss and a draw. The home side’s defense has been more vulnerable compared to Sociedad’s stingy backline, suggesting the visitors’ attacking momentum could be a key factor on Sunday.
