The La Liga matchday 28 fixture between Real Sociedad and Osasuna will take place on 15 March at Anoeta in San Sebastian. Real Sociedad vs Osasuna: prediction, betting odds and statistics.
Real Sociedad
In the last round, Real Sociedad suffered a frustrating defeat against Atletico Madrid (2:3). During the match, the home team levelled the score twice, but were unable to respond after conceding a third late on. It was only their second defeat in the last 11 league matches, although across a run of six games the Basque outfit have picked up just two wins. The club remain eighth in the standings and are still five points short of the European places. It is also worth noting that the team's scoring run in La Liga has now stretched to 12 matches.
- Both teams have scored in nine of Real Sociedad's previous home matches in La Liga.
- The Basque side have conceded in 20 of their last 21 matches in this competition.
- Seven of the team's previous nine league matches have gone over the total.

Osasuna
A week ago, Osasuna pulled off a minor miracle, coming back from 0:2 right at the death in a home match against Mallorca (2:2). The visitors snatched a draw thanks to goals in the 89th and 94th minutes. As a result, the Pamplona side now have just one defeat in their last eight La Liga matches. Notably, both teams scored in six of those eight games, while Osasuna have kept just one clean sheet in that spell, away to relegation-threatened Elche (0:0). The Basque side are 11th, just three points off seventh and six points away from the top six.
- The team have avoided defeat by more than one goal (Osasuna +1.5) in 11 straight matches in the Spanish league.
- Osasuna have scored at least two goals in six of their previous eight matches in this competition.
- Eight of the Basque side's last 11 away matches in La Liga have gone under the total.

Real Sociedad vs Osasuna: Match Prediction
Real Sociedad have gradually slowed down after a bright start to the year. The club have won just one of their last four league matches, and that lone victory in the run was by the narrowest of margins. Yes, three of those four games were away from home, but in their most recent La Liga match at home the Basque side were unable to beat relegation-zone side Oviedo (3:3). Across their previous seven home league matches, Real Sociedad have managed only two wins by a margin greater than one goal.
Osasuna have become one of the hardest teams to beat in Spain over the last couple of months. Across their last eight league rounds, the Pamplona side have suffered only one defeat, and in that loss against Valencia they went down 0:1 after conceding a penalty. They have now avoided defeat by a margin of two or more goals in 11 straight La Liga matches.
We should also add that Osasuna have taken at least one point in four of their last five head-to-head meetings with Real Sociedad in La Liga (three wins, one draw).
Prediction: Osasuna (+1)
