Real Sociedad will be aiming to make it three straight wins in all competitions when they continue their 2024-25 La Liga campaign with a home fixture against Osasuna on Sunday night.

preview

Real Sociedad have found it difficult to get going in the early months of the La Liga campaign, boasting a record of three wins, three draws and four defeats from their 10 matches to sit down in 11th spot in the table on 12 points.

Goals have been an issue, only finding the back of the net on eight occasions, with only Leganes (six), Getafe (seven) and Valencia (seven) scoring fewer, but they have been solid defensively, conceding just eight times.

Real Sociedad finished sixth in La Liga last season, but they are five points off sixth-placed Mallorca at this stage of proceedings and have looked short of being a challenger to finish in the European spots once again.

Imanol Alguacil's side have just started to build some momentum, though, picking up a welcome point against Atletico Madrid at the start of the month before recording a 1-0 victory away to Girona last weekend.

The Basque outfit will enter this match off the back of a European win, meanwhile, having beaten Maccabi Tel Aviv in the Europa League on Thursday night to move into 17th spot in the Europa League table.

Osasuna, meanwhile, boast a record of four wins, three draws and three defeats from their 10 La Liga matches this season, which has left them in eighth position in the division on 15 points.

Vicente Moreno's side are the only La Liga team to have beaten Barcelona this season, recording a 4-2 win over the division leaders at the end of September, but they have struggled in their last two games, drawing with Getafe before losing to Real Betis.

Los Rojillos finished 11th in Spain's top flight last season, but they were seventh in 2022-23 and certainly look capable of claiming a top-half spot this term, already scoring an impressive 14 goals in La Liga.

Osasuna have conceded 16 times, though, which is among the poorer defensive records in the division, and that could potentially hold them back when it comes to pushing for a possible European spot.

The Pamplona outfit actually beat Real Sociedad 1-0 in the corresponding game during the 2023-24 campaign, but they have lost five of their last seven La Liga fixtures with Sunday's opponents.
