Real Sociedad will travel to the Power Horse Stadium on Sunday (January 8) for a La Liga clash with Almeria, looking to extend their winning run to three games. La Real won 2-1 at Sevilla in their last game before the midseason break and resumed their league campaign on New Year’s Eve with a 2-0 win over Osasuna. With 29 points in 15 games, Imanol Alguacil’s side are third in the standings, behind the ‘big two’ of Barcelona and Real Madrid (38 points apiece).

On Tuesday, Sociedad began 2023 with a narrow 1-0 win over Logrones in the Copa Del Rey, courtesy of a 33rd-minute strike from Robert Navarro. Almeria, meanwhile, returned to La Liga for the first time since the 2014-15 season. However, with just five wins in 15 games, it hasn’t been a smooth ride for them so far.

La Union are down in 13th position in the standings with 17 points from 15 games and were held to a 1-1 draw by Cadiz in their last game. Rubi’s team will play for the first time this year.

Almería vs Real Sociedad Prediction

Almeria have a surprisingly good record at home to Real Sociedad and will be confident of their chances. La Real, though, are in good form this season, helped by a stoic defence.

Considering the same, they will likely break their jinx in Almeria and finally win there.

Prediction: Almeria 0-2 Sociedad

Almería vs Real Sociedad team news

Almeria could have a full squad for this match, as Rodrigo Ely has served the suspension that ruled him out of the 1-1 draw with Cadiz last time out.

Ely is expected to return to the middle of the defence, but it could otherwise be the same side that took to the field for the first whistle against Cadiz.
