Team News: Real Sociedad
It’s a low absenteeism rate, with just the lone fitness concern for the Real Sociedad boss Imanol Alguacil to be concerned about thanks to an almost full-strength set of players. Arsen Zakharyan (Muscle injury) will miss out.
We are thinking that Txuri-urdin may well opt for a 4-3-3 system for the game featuring Alex Remiro, Hamari Traore, Igor Zubeldia, Aritz Elustondo, J. López Carballo, Brais Méndez, Martín Zubimendi, Pablo Marín, Takefusa Kubo, Mikel Oyarzabal and Sergio Gomez.

Team News: Girona FC
Thanks to a mainly available group of players, there’s just the sole fitness issue for the Girona FC boss Míchel Sánchez Muñoz to be concerned about. Bryan Gil (Outer ligament tear) won’t be in action.
It’s our belief that Blanquivermells appear most likely to elect for a 4-3-3 lineup, settling for Paulo Gazzaniga, Arnau Martínez, David Lopez, Juanpe, Daley Blind, Yangel Herrera, Arthur, I. Martín Núñez, Viktor Tsygankov, Abel Ruiz and Portu.

Prediction
Looking at these two teams, we feel that Girona FC could find themselves struggling to get anything against this Real Sociedad team who we reckon will just have the edge.
We therefore fancy a 1-0 advantage for Real Sociedad when all is said and done.
A close call.
