We’re inclined to think that Villarreal will probably have the majority of the possession and should be able to turn a few of their chances into goals.

In contrast, Real Sociedad could well struggle to score a goal of their own although we do see them being dangerous for periods.

Our selection here is for a controlled 3-1 win for Villarreal at the end of this one.
