Real Sociedad to win
The model gives Home a 42.3% probability, the highest in the 1X2 market. At Anoeta, Real Sociedad usually set the pace, and that home edge matters against Espanyol. The matchup also leans toward the hosts in recent head-to-head context, so the home win is the cleanest call.
Both teams to score - Yes
The model gives Yes a 56.1% probability, so both sides landing on the scoresheet is the top read. Real Sociedad tend to create chances at home, while Espanyol can still nick a goal if the game opens up. Recent patterns and the likely game state support goals at both ends.
Over 2.5 goals
