Real Sociedad vs Sevilla preview on October 24, 2025 — team news, stats, prediction, and possible lineups.
Real Sociedad hosting Sevilla at Anoeta on October 24, 2025. It's matchday 10 in La Liga, and both teams need points bad. Sociedad are down in 18th with just 6 points from 1 win, 3 draws, and 5 losses after 9 games.They've been leaky at the back, but that home support can lift them.
Sevilla sit 9th with 13 points from 4 wins, 1 draws, and 4 losses. Coming off a tough spell, but they've got goals in them.
This one's key – Sociedad fighting relegation vibes early, Sevilla eyeing Europe spots. Midfield scraps will decide it, plus watch counters. Injuries hit both, but depth helps. Could go either way, maybe low scoring.
For Real Sociedad, boss Sergio Francisco has issues after their 1-1 draw at Celta on October 19.
Takefusa Kubo picked up a muscle injury there and is doubtful.
Orri Óskarsson also came off with a thigh knock, doubtful too.
Hamari Traoré out with hamstring till late October.
Ander Barrenetxea ankle sprain, doubtful but possible bench. No suspensions, Francisco hopeful on the doubts.
Matías Almeyda without Tanguy Nianzou – muscle tear, out till November.
Alfon González ankle, late October.
Joan Jordán back issue ongoing. No bans, but those misses hurt defense. Both squads mostly okay, but changes coming.
Sociedad scored 8 goals in 9 games, xG of 12.0, but conceded 13.12 yellows so far with 7 open play, no free kick, no set piece, no own goal and 1 penalty being played. Home form: 1 win, 1 draw, 2 losses, 4 points.
Sevilla is in good shape, having scored 16 goals and recorded a form of W,D,L,W,D in their last five matches. They've conceded 14 goals, but only allowed multiple goals on three occasions. When playing away, they have achieved 3 wins, 0 draws, and 1 loss.
This year has had a rough beginning, they lost five of their first nine matches and didn't secure a win until late September. Their last game ended in a 1-1 draw against Celta, with Soler scoring.
Last season, they finished strong, remaining unbeaten in seven games, including a victory over Atlético. However, they experienced a mid-season slump with no wins in eight matches around winter.
When they're on form, they press effectively and counter well; at one point, they went ten games unbeaten at home.
But when they're off, they tend to concede goals, suffering four consecutive losses early in 2025. Their longest unbeaten streak was nine matches during the 2023-24 season.
This season started fairly well with four wins from the first nine matches but recently suffered a 1-3 loss to Mallorca after going unbeaten in three games prior.
Last year was mixed; they had a strong November highlighted by a victory over Espanyol but faltered against Atleti and faced a significant dip in February with no wins in five matches as their defense struggled.
Their best recent stretch was six unbeaten games in late 2023, where they managed to grind out points. However, things turned sour away from home last winter with three consecutive losses. Both teams have been inconsistent lately, but Sevilla seems to have the upper hand when playing at home.
In past encounters: Sociedad once dominated Sevilla by scoring three goals in each of three straight matches during the 2017-18 season, including a Copa shutout. Sevilla responded recently with back-to-back victories—a thrilling 3-2 win in '24 followed by a narrow 1-0 win last March.
In terms of unbeaten runs: Sociedad had four consecutive wins until early '24; meanwhile, Sevilla has been tough to beat at home, remaining unbeaten in seven of their last eight matches there.
Sociedad, Francisco likely 4-4-2
Remiro for goal post
For back; Aramburu, Zubeldia, Caleta-Car, Muñoz
For midfield; Gomez, Herrera, Gorrotxategi, Soler
Barrenetxea, Oyarzabal, for front.
Almeyda 4-3-3:
Vlachodimos sticks;
Carmona, Martinez, Marcao, Suazo, defense;
Sanchez, Vargas and Romero for front.
30 meetings, Sociedad 11 wins, Sevilla 13, 6 draws.Average 2.67 goals per game.
Recent: Sociedad won 5 of last 6 meetings,with Sevilla's 1-0 in March. Last season.
Mikel Oyarzabal, Sociedad's captain, has contributed 2 goals this season and is instrumental in their play. Ander Barrenetxea has also made a significant impact when fit, with 3 assists and 1 goal to his name.
For Sevilla, Isaac Romero has been impressive, netting 3 goals by being alert in the box and timing his runs perfectly, this young player has a natural instinct for scoring. Ruben Vargas is making waves as well, with 2 goals and 4 assists. He excels at cutting through midfield with precise passes and curling shots, totaling 6 goal contributions, which leads the team.
The match appears evenly matched, with both teams having inconsistent histories. I’d predict a 1-1 draw. However, Sociedad has the advantage of playing at home, which could lead to a 2-1 win for them.
It's likely there will be under 2.5 goals, as both defenses are expected to perform well. Expect over four cards due to the intensity of the game. Sevilla poses a counter-attacking threat, but Sociedad needs to find their momentum. It’s going to be a close contest.
Overall, it should be an exciting match for fans. Sociedad is eager to climb the standings while Sevilla aims to maintain their position in the top half. Their recent forms are similar and the stats are closely matched. Looking forward to kickoff!.
