Matchday 13 of La Liga between Osasuna and Real Sociedad will take place on November 22 at the El Sadar Stadium in Pamplona. Osasuna vs. Real Sociedad: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Osasuna
Following an away defeat to Sevilla in the last round, Osasuna's winless streak in La Liga has reached four matches, during which the club has secured only one point. Throughout the season, the Pamplona team has won just three of their 12 league matches. Notably, all their victories have come at home. With 11 points, Alessio Lisci's side sits in 16th place, barely above the relegation zone. The team's precarious position is largely due to their low attacking output; Osasuna has scored only nine goals in La Liga, with only Oviedo scoring fewer (7).
- No more than two goals have been scored in 13 of Osasuna's last 16 La Liga matches.
- Osasuna's home scoring streak in the league spans 26 matches.
- The club has won with a handicap (+1.5) in 15 of their last 16 La Liga games.
Predicted lineup for Osasuna (4-2-3-1)
Sergio Herrera – Jon Moncayola, Enzo Boyomo, Alejandro Catena, Abel Bretones – Moi Gomez, Iker Munoz – Victor Munoz, Ruben Garcia, Kike Barja – Raul Garcia.
Due to injuries, forward Ante Budimir, defender Valentin Rosier, and midfielder Iker Benito are unavailable. Midfielder Jon Moncayola's participation is in doubt.
Real Sociedad
Two weeks ago, the club snatched a late draw in an away game against Elche (1-1). This extended Real Sociedad's unbeaten run in La Liga to four matches (2 wins, 2 draws) – their best streak since September-October 2024. Previously, Sergio Francisco's side had managed just one win in their first eight matches this season, losing five of those eight. After overcoming a difficult period, the club has climbed to 14th place in the table. However, they cannot afford to relax, as they are five points short of the European qualification zone and only three points clear of the relegation zone. Notably, like Osasuna, Real Sociedad's victories in the league have all come at home.
- The club has scored in 8 of their last 9 La Liga matches.
- Both teams scored in 5 of Real Sociedad's last 6 away games in La Liga.
- The Basques have failed to keep a clean sheet in 17 consecutive away league matches.
Predicted lineup for Real Sociedad (4-5-1)
Alejandro Remiro – Jon Aramburu, Jon Martin, Igor Zubeldia, Sergio Gomez – Carlos Soler, Jon Gorrotxategi, Brais Mendez, Takefusa Kubo, Goncalo Guedes – Mikel Oyarzabal.
Midfielder Yangel Herrera and forward Orri Oskarsson are unavailable due to injuries. The participation of defender Igor Zubeldia and forwards Ander Barrenetxea and Jon Karrikaburu is in doubt.

Osasuna vs. Real Sociedad: Match Prediction
Osasuna is struggling, but they should be invigorated by the support of their home crowd. The team has not lost in 8 of their last 9 home matches in La Liga, with 7 of those 9 games resulting in victories. However, a breakthrough in attack should not be expected, as the Pamplona team is not known for high scoring. Regardless of the venue, the club has not scored more than 2 goals in 18 consecutive La Liga matches.
Real Sociedad is far from the crisis they faced at the start of the season, but away games remain challenging. The team has yet to win on the road in this season's league campaign, and their overall away winless streak in the tournament has extended to 10 matches (4 draws, 6 losses). It's worth noting that Osasuna was once a favorable opponent, but the Basques have been unable to win in their last 4 meetings in La Liga, with the last 3 ending in defeat. However, Real Sociedad has not conceded more than 2 goals against Osasuna in 11 consecutive La Liga games.
