Real Sociedad welcome Deportivo A Coruna at Reale Arena, Donostia-San Sebastián today at 4:15 PM in a LaLiga fixture that's tighter on paper than the positions suggest — just 2 points split them in the table.

Real Sociedad come into this fixture in good form (3W 1D 1L recently). Deportivo A Coruna travel in mixed form (2W 2D 1L), which may hand the initiative to the hosts.

History strongly favours Real Sociedad here — they've won 4 of 10 previous meetings against Deportivo A Coruna, with 5 draws. Their last encounter ended in Real Sociedad won 5–0. These two tend to produce goals — averaging 4.0 per game in recent meetings.

Real Sociedad deploy a 4-4-2 while Deportivo A Coruna opt for a 4-2-3-1 — the midfield battle between those shapes could determine where the game is won and lost.

Verdict: This looks an evenly matched contest. Home advantage gives Real Sociedad a slight edge, but Deportivo A Coruna are capable of causing problems. A draw would be a fair result.
