Both teams finished last season in the upper part of the table and qualified for European competitions, but so far both have struggled with the packed schedule. As a result, they find themselves in the lower half of the standings.
Girona are still reeling from significant losses in the squad during the summer transfer window. They have managed to create and capitalise on chances, scoring five goals in their last three matches. However, defensive issues persist, as they have also conceded five goals in these games. In the previous round, they secured a victory over Athletic Bilbao, although their opponents missed two penalties, showing that luck was on Girona's side.
In the last five matches, Real Sociedad have claimed just one victory. However, statistics suggest they are finding their rhythm after a poor start. They thrashed Valencia (3:0) in the league and drew against Atlético Madrid, during which they took four times more shots and held 67% possession.
The last three meetings between these clubs have ended in draws, and we believe there is a good chance this trend will continue. Neither team is in top form, and the international break likely took a toll on the players—a draw appears to be a logical outcome for this match.
