Form Guide

Real Sociedad — last 10 games: 3W 3D 4L, averaging 1.20 points per game. Last five: L D W D W. They are averaging 0.80 goals per game and conceding 0.80 — a modest attacking output that tempers optimism on the Over 2.5 market. Defensively, conceding just 0.80 per game is an exceptional defensive record. 5 clean sheets from 10 games (50%) is a standout defensive return — they are keeping their net clean in more than half their matches. Both teams have scored in just 30% of their matches, indicating a tendency toward clean sheets or low-scoring outcomes.

At home, Real Sociedad have gone 3W 2D 5L in their last 10 home games (1.10 PPG). At home they are averaging 1.10 goals scored and 1.20 conceded per game.

Looking at their last 10 matches, Osasuna stand at 4W 3D 3L — 1.50 PPG. Last five: W D W D L. Their scoring rate of 1.40 per game is modest, conceding 1.60 — not a side to back heavily on the Over 2.5 from their form alone. 2 clean sheets from 10 outings (20%). Both teams have scored in 70% of their games — a noteworthy BTTS rate that supports the Yes market.

On the road, Osasuna have gone 2W 3D 5L in their last 10 away fixtures (0.90 PPG). Away from home they average 1.20 goals scored and 1.80 conceded per game. Their away PPG of 0.90 is notably below their overall 1.50 — form away from home has been a clear weakness recently.

There is minimal separation in the form figures — Real Sociedad at 1.20 PPG versus Osasuna's 1.50. The form guide is not providing a strong directional steer; the model and market data will carry more weight in the final assessment.

Head to Head

Real Sociedad hold a clear advantage across the 6 H2H matches in our data, with 4 wins compared to 1 for Osasuna and 1 draw.

The 6 H2H matches in our data have been tight, averaging just 1.7 goals per game — a meaningful input for the Under 2.5 market. The most recent of those, on 10 Feb 2024, ended Real Sociedad 0–1 Osasuna — a Osasuna win.

The head-to-head data gives Real Sociedad an edge — 4 wins from 6 H2H matches is worth weighing, particularly if the form picture is inconclusive.

In-Play Profile

Real Sociedad in-play tendencies (last 48 games, 23 of them at home): at least one goal arrives before half-time in 65% of their matches in home games; when goalless at HT, a second-half goal follows 56% of the time; of the 11 games they trailed at half-time, they recovered to draw or win 27%; BTTS occurs in 44% of their matches (home games); Over 2.5 goals lands in 39% of games (home games); they keep a clean sheet 42% of the time.

Poisson Model

The Poisson distribution model projects Real Sociedad 1.57 xG and Osasuna 1.05 xG. These expected goals figures are the primary input: they feed a goal-probability matrix across all scoreline combinations to derive the result and market probabilities below. Underlying strength ratings: Real Sociedad attack 0.944 / defence 1.095 | Osasuna attack 0.889 / defence 1.144. League average goals — home 1.452 / away 1.084. Data: built from Real Sociedad's last 48 games and Osasuna's last 48.

Result probabilities: Real Sociedad 48% | Draw 29% | Osasuna 24%. Fair-value odds: Real Sociedad 2.10 | Draw 3.50 | Osasuna 4.19. Real Sociedad hold a narrow Poisson edge at 48% — the draw (29%) is close enough to merit draw-inclusive market consideration.

Goals markets: Over 2.5 probability 49% | BTTS Yes probability 53% | Total xG 2.62. Over/Under 2.5 is close to a coin-flip at 49%/51% — the total xG of 2.62 sits near the 2.5 margin; this is a low-edge market from a Poisson standpoint. BTTS Yes at 53% is only a slight lean — neither team is projected to score with enough certainty to make Yes a clear standalone call.

Summary & Verdict

The Poisson model's primary lean is Real Sociedad at 48% — moderate model lean. The head-to-head data (Real Sociedad 4 wins from 6 H2H matches) corroborates the Poisson lean — partial multi-source support. With a 29% draw probability, Draw No Bet on Real Sociedad offers a more defensible entry point than the straight win.

The Poisson model projects 2.62 xG in total — Under 2.5 at 51% — reasonable conviction, supported by the H2H data averaging 1.7 goals per game across 6 H2H matches.

On the BTTS market, Poisson puts 53% on Yes. Form rates are neutral — both teams scored in: Real Sociedad 40% (last 10 home games) | Osasuna 50% (last 10 away games).
