Real Sociedad fever in January

Free soccer tips

"Churri-Urdin" spent the first part of the current championship very well. The team not only returned to the European Cup competitors, but also got into a legal battle over the participation in the Champions League. Real Madrid and Barcelona are of course out of reach, but why not try to use the coaching in Valencia and update the team in Atletico? And the protective spells of Imanol Alguasil were initially quite stable and could keep up with other applicants. But it seems that the break has had a negative impact on them. Real Sociedad won just one game of three games in January in the cup, which saw a meeting with Ceuta, the most humble club at the semi-professional level. In the examples, "Churri-Urdin" lost both games against the middle peasants. First there was a 1: 2 with Villarreal, and on Sunday the club was completely defeated by Betis.

Espanyol started showing teeth

"Parrots" show a typical example of such modest middle peasants, when a decline begins after a sharp jump over their heads. Oddly enough, the club from Barcelona managed to continue the fight in the Europa League and will soon play in the tournament's playoffs. For a long time, however, everything was "compensated" by an absolute failure in the example. Still, Abelardo committed to saving a hopeless outsider. And the legend of a neighboring club, Barcelona, ​​turns out. He took a point out of the "blue garnet” in the derby and on Sunday his team managed to defeat Villarreal in the minority for more than half an hour and win it completely (and the deciding goal was scored by newcomer De Thomas). Nevertheless, the team is in last place, and since Mallorca also won, the distance to the rescue zone is 4 points. Will they fight the cup seriously under such circumstances?

In September, Real Sociedad won 3: 1 as part of the examples in Barcelona. In this pair, the parties won in 4 consecutive meetings.

 

Match prediction

 

If the teams played in the examples, it would be possible to believe that Espanyol would reach for points. But the cup for her is an additional waste of energy and it's time to get rid of it.

For many teams, the national cup competitions offer a successful change from everyday life. Other clubs, however, see the appearances in the cup as an unnecessary obligation. The trick is to analyze before a knockout game for whom the trophy is more relevant and who is probably more interested in moving on to the next round.

In the round of 32 in the Spanish Copa del Rey, we are looking forward to the Real Sociedad vs Espanyol Barcelona encounter. Based on the odds of the bookmakers, it is already clear that the home owners are considered to have better chances of progressing. No wonder, because the Basques are currently clearly better placed than the Catalans in the country’s top division.


Free soccer predictions

So far, the kickers from San Sebastian have been playing a very decent season in sixth and aim to return to the international stage. For Espanyol, however, it is all about relegation. As the bottom of the league, the team from the Mediterranean metropolis already lacks four points on the saving bank.

Free soccer picks
 

This is one of the reasons why we are convinced that the priority for the "Pericos” will clearly be on the relegation battle. In the upcoming, important phase of the season, intensive cup games cost only unnecessarily strength, possibly the guests’ approach. Accordingly, before the Real Sociedad duel against Espanyol Barcelona, ​​we dare to predict that the home side will assert themselves confidently with at least two goals difference.


 

Real Sociedad:


Free soccer predictions

The Copa del Rey has not been Real Sociedad’s favorite competition in recent years. The Basques most recently reached the semi-finals in 2013/2014. It was also the first participation in the preliminary round since the early 1980s. Last year, however, was already in the round of 16 final.

Free soccer tips
 

The desire in San Sebastian to finally start a deep run in the national cup is all the greater. The results so far from rounds one and two are not bad to read. Even though two lower-class opponents were waiting with CD Becerill (fourth league) and AD Ceuta (third league), the blue-whites did not show any nakedness and won 8: 0 and 4: 0.

Free soccer picks
 

The toughest task so far awaits on Wednesday, even if the odds of the betting providers between Real Sociedad and Espanyol Barcelona point to a sovereign success of the team of coach Imanol Alguacil. This favorite role is due in particular to the strong La Liga season to date.

Free soccer predictions
 

"La Real” is in strong sixth place in the table and theoretically has all possibilities to make the leap into the premier class with only four points behind third. At the weekend, the Basques still had a bad damper, because the away game at Betis Sevilla was lost with 0: 3. It was only for the third time this season that the "Erreala” did not score.

Free soccer tips
 

Otherwise, the offensive is the absolute showpiece of the European Cup contender. The 33 goals scored are currently topped only by Real Madrid and FC Barcelona. Because the Basques also score exactly two goals on average per game at home and all four home wins came in the current season with at least two goals difference, Real Sociedad vs. Espanyol Barcelona the tip on a handicap success of the hosts (-1.5) is obvious.


Free soccer picks

Aritz Elustondo, Nacho Monreal, Asier Illaramendi and David Zurutuza are injured. Changes in comparison to the 0: 3 mentioned at Betis are without alternative. However, Coach Alguacil will not force a larger rotation for conservation purposes, the Copa del Rey is too important for the 48-year-old trainer, who has been in office since December 2018.

Espanyol Barcelona:


 

It almost seems as if Espanyol Barcelona’s performance has changed with the year. In the new competitive year 2020, the "Pericos” have so far been convincing.

Free soccer tips
 

First the Catalans fought for a point in the city derby against the big FC Barcelona (2-2). Then the red-white-blue prevailed in the Copa del Rey with subordinate team SS Reyes and finally Espanyol also celebrated the third away win of the La Liga season at the weekend, which gave the hope of relegation a new nourishment.

Nevertheless, it can be stated that the team of Coach Abelardo, who has been responsible since the end of December and has been instrumental in the recent successes, is still facing a mammoth task in the relegation battle.


Free soccer picks

The Catalans continue to adorn the bottom of the table of the best Spanish football league and are already four points behind the saving bank. To make matters worse, the taillight not only marked the fewest hits of all 20 first division clubs (16), but also conceded the most goals conceded (37).


Free soccer tips

Although the shape curve under the new coach is pointing upwards, we are skeptical whether a forecast on the outsider will pay off on Wednesday between Real Sociedad and Espanyol Barcelona. In particular, the fact that the "Blanquiazules” are in such great relegation difficulties leads us to believe that the league has top priority and the trophy runs alongside.


 

At least in terms of personnel, Abelardo can draw on almost his entire squad. However, it can be doubted whether all regular players and top performers will be used. Even though the coach emphasizes that the trophy should be used to build confidence, he will definitely have the important home game against Bilbao in mind at the weekend.

Real Sociedad vs. Espanyol Barcelona Tip & Prediction - 01/22/2020

 

One of the most interesting pairings of the third round in the Spanish Royal Cup is Real Sociedad against Espanyol Barcelona on Wednesday. The betting odds imply a fairly clear favorite role in favor of the home side, who have not necessarily appeared as a cup team in recent years, but are better positioned in La Liga.

 

The sixth in the top national division has more individual quality and, despite the recent 0-3 defeat against Betis Sevilla, can hope to return to international business. The Basques have also made some plans in the cup. After all, the first semi-finals should succeed since 2014. Before that, however, Espanyol Barcelona has to be cleared in the third round.

Key Facts - Real Sociedad vs. Espanyol Barcelona tip

Free soccer predictions

  • Real Sociedad ranks sixth in La Liga; Espanyol adorns the end of the table

  • Under Abelardo, the guests are still unbeaten (two wins, one draw)

  • In the league, the Basques won 3-1 in Barcelona

 Free soccer tips

The "Pericos" benefit from the change on the coaching bench these days. Under Abelardo, the Catalans returned to success. First they fought for a respectable draw against their "big brother” FC Barcelona, ​​then three points were kidnapped from Villarreal. Nevertheless, the red, white and blue are still in last place and are in the middle of the relegation battle.

Free soccer tips

This constellation is also the main reason why we prefer a tip on the host between Real Sociedad and Espanyol Barcelona. Abelardo has to focus on relegation in La Liga and cannot do much with additional exhausting matches in the Copa del Rey.

Free soccer picks

We therefore expect a confident home win and risk putting six units on handicap success (-1.5) in favor of the "Erreala”. At Bwin we get a lucrative 2.70 at the top.
