Latest Real Sociedad vs Girona football review

Coach Imanol Alguacil must still be confused after the match in which Real Sociedad failed to score a goal against Celta Vigo, despite creating 8 clear scoring chances - much higher than the average of less than 2 chances/match in the first 35 rounds of La Liga.

Real Sociedad have failed to score in their last four games and have conceded 10 goals in their last six.

The blue and white team is currently 5 points behind Rayo Vallecano and with having to face Real Madrid in the final round on May 24, the chance of qualifying for the UEFA Conference League is almost gone.

Coach Alguacil and his team have gone six consecutive matches without knowing victory, including four defeats.

Their home form has also been disappointing: just one win, two draws and four losses in their last seven games at the Reale Arena.

Meanwhile, Girona claimed a 1-0 win over Real Valladolid on 13 May thanks to Cristhian Stuani's 80th-minute strike from a set piece – a goal that took them to the top of La Liga for goals scored from set pieces (13).

Despite scoring just three goals in their last four games, Girona have also been commendable in conceding just twice during this period.

Coach Michel saw his team lose 0-1 to Real Sociedad in October. The last time Girona won against this opponent was in February 2010 – a run that included 3 losses and 6 draws.

Blanquivermells have won two 1-0 in their last three games (losing one), after going through a poor run of form that saw three consecutive defeats and a draw before that.

Girona have won two, drawn one and lost just one of their last four away games, but prior to that they had gone six games without a win on the road, losing five.
