Osasuna vs Real Sociedad Prediction 23 November 2025

🔈 Can the Reds break their four-match winless streak in La Liga? One of the standout fixtures of the 13th round is Saturday's clash between Osasuna and Real Sociedad at El Sadar. The teams are in contrasting form—Alessio Lisci's side have failed to secure a victory in their last four outings, while the Royals are unbeaten over the same period. Trips to El Sadar are never easy, and Sergio Francisco's squad will need to give their all to extend their unbeaten run. Bookmakers are predicting a tightly contested match, with no clear favorite.

Head-to-Head

📊 In last season's La Liga, the "Reds" came out on top against the "White and Blues" twice: 2-0 at the "Reale Arena" and 2-1 at "El Sadar". As we look ahead to their upcoming clash, it's crucial to consider the current form of each team. Additionally, let's note the average scoring rate over their last 10 official head-to-head matches: Osasuna – 0.6, Real Sociedad – 1.3.

Osasuna Team Overview

🔴 Osasuna's current form is quite concerning. Over the last four rounds in La Liga, the "Reds" have managed to secure just a single point. Alessio Lisci's side now find themselves in 16th place on the table, only one point clear of the relegation zone. Their goal-scoring record is particularly troubling, averaging just 0.75 goals per game, ranking them 19th in the league. However, at El Sadar, Osasuna remain a formidable force, suffering only one defeat in their last five home matches.

📌 In their last La Liga outing, the "Reds" failed to take points from Sevilla (0-1) at the Ramon Sanchez Pizjuan. Despite Sevilla’s defensive gaps, Osasuna's players often made poor decisions in possession, leading to unnecessary turnovers. Credit must also go to Sevilla's goalkeeper Odysseas Vlachodimos, who proved to be a major thorn for the Pamplona side's fans. Alessio Lisci continues to shuffle his tactical formations in search of balance, but the Italian coach has yet to find a consistent formula.

Real Sociedad Team Overview

⚪ After a notably poor start to the season, which fueled rumors about the potential dismissal of the coaching staff led by Sergio Francisco, Real Sociedad have found stability. Currently, they are on a four-match unbeaten run and have climbed to 14th place in the standings. However, looking ahead to their upcoming away fixture, it's crucial to consider the "White and Blues'" performance on the road—they've only secured 3 points from 6 games, placing them 15th in the league. At this stage of the season, their average goal tally stands at 1.17 scored per game while conceding 1.42.

🔵 Before the international break, Real Sociedad visited "Manuel Martínez Valero" for a head-to-head clash with Elche (1-1). Sergio Francisco's squad struggled to impose their game, performing poorly in possession for most of the match. Nevertheless, they managed to avoid defeat thanks to a late penalty converted by Mikel Oyarzabal in the 89th minute. The 28-year-old Spanish forward is currently in outstanding form, with 5 goals and 2 assists in this season's La Liga campaign. His performances have rightfully earned him a call-up to the national team. During the recent international fixtures, Oyarzabal also impressed with 3 goals and 1 assist across two qualifying matches.

Latest news

Osasuna

🎤 After the away defeat to Sevilla (0-1), Alessio Lisci expressed his dissatisfaction with his players' performance on the pitch: "I have to base my decisions on what I see on the field, and judging by what I observe, it's clear we have areas to improve. However, I believe there are teams much worse than us. But obviously, we can't rely solely on our performance; results are crucial, and right now, the league standings don't reflect what we aspire to. I'm not sure if 'concerned' is the right word. We need to be attentive and cautious because when you're down, playing with a clear mind becomes harder. When you're absent, you play with a different mindset, and it's important to understand this now to change our dynamic and get into a better situation, so we can play with a clearer head and achieve better results."

❌ Osasuna's injury list includes several key players: Iker Benito (knee injury), Ante Budimir (calf muscle injury), Jon Moncayola (groin injury), and Valentin Rosier (hamstring injury). Lucas Torro's participation in the match remains doubtful due to an ankle injury.

Real Sociedad

🎤 After a 1-1 draw with Elche in the last round, Real Sociedad's head coach Sergio Francisco spoke about a moment that brought stability to his team: "I felt it was a really pivotal match [against Celta in mid-October], and the team played it with courage. We scored late, could have lost, but something clicked then. We went on to win two home games, but I think the turning point was in Vigo." New club member Carlos Soler echoed similar sentiments in his latest interview: "The key was not losing to Celta; otherwise, we would have been back in the relegation zone. Since then, we've taken 8 out of 12 points. I said it after the match, in the heat of the moment, but it's true: we are Real Sociedad, and I came to help the team climb as high as possible. That was a turning point."

❌ Among the injured players for the San Sebastian club are Yangel Herrera (calf injury) and Orri Óskarsson (hamstring injury). The participation of Jon Aramburu, Ander Barrenetxea, Jon Karrikaburu, Iñaki Ruperes, and Igor Zubeldia remains doubtful due to injuries.

⚽ Goal Prediction

⚽ Goal Prediction

Head-to-head clashes between Osasuna and Real Sociedad are typically marked by intense play and a defensive approach. In 6 of their last 8 encounters, no more than 2 goals have been scored. This season, both teams have shown lackluster scoring numbers: Osasuna averages 0.75 goals per game, while Real Sociedad stands at 1.17. Given these stats, a bet on under 2.5 goals seems reasonable.

🚩 Corner Prediction

Osasuna averages a notably low number of corners per game—around 2.7. Meanwhile, Real Sociedad focuses on minimizing wing threats, allowing only 4.2 corners per match. In head-to-head meetings, the "reds" also struggle to outperform the "royals" in this aspect, with averages of 4.5 to 5.6. The editorial choice is Osasuna's individual total corners under 5.5.

Real Sociedad are in excellent form and seem to have found consistency in their performances. The same cannot be said for Osasuna, who are struggling to find their best game. The loss of their main attacking force, Ante Budimir, due to injury, will only complicate the "Reds'" efforts to secure points. Considering these factors, we predict a final score of 0-1. We conclude with the following insight: Real Sociedad will not lose.
