Real Sociedad Team News
In the last round, the players of Real Sociedad defeated Barcelona away from home 1:2. The visiting team took the lead in the fifth minute of the game with a goal by Mikel Merino. They doubled their advantage in the 72nd minute of the game, when Martin Zubimendi played past Alexander Sorloth, and he put the ball into the net. The home team only managed to score a consolation goal in the 90th minute, after which they failed to fully get back into the match.
They currently occupy the fourth position in the table with 65 points, five more than fifth-placed Villarreal. If they triumph in this game, they will secure a place in the group stage of the Champions League next season. In the previous six league games, they registered four wins and two draws. After the match with Almeria, until the end of the season, they have away games against Atletico Madrid, while they will welcome Sevilla at home.
As in the last match, Real Sociedad will be missing David Silva, Bryce Mendez, Umar Sadiq, and Martin Merquelanz due to injuries. All other players will be available to coach Imanol Alguacil.
Takefusa Kubo and Mikel Oyarzabal should keep Alexander Sorloth company in the attack, while Asier Illarramendi’s impressive performances will keep him in the starting eleven.
Almeria Team News
In the last championship game, Almeria managed to triumph over Mallorca at home 3:0. The hat-trick was achieved by Lazaro in the match, and he scored goals in the 12th, 42nd, and 58th minutes of the game, after which the visiting team failed to return to the match.
They currently occupy the 14th position in the table with 39 points, four more than the 18th-placed Valladolid and a place that leads to a lower rank in the competition. In the previous seven league games, they registered three wins and four losses. After the match with Real Sociedad, they will also play against Valladolid at home, and in the last round, they will visit Espanyol.
As for the injured players, Kaiky, Martin Svidersky, Chumi, and El Bilal Toure are still out of the protocol, while all other players should be available to coach Joan Rubio.
After his phenomenal game with Lazaro, it is expected that he will again be in the attacking part of the field, together with Luis Suarez and Adria Embarbo. There is a chance that Cesar de la Jose could be in the starting line-up, but it is unlikely that anything will change after Almeria’s excellent performance in the previous league game against Mallorca, but we will have to see.
Real Sociedad vs Almeria H2H

Expected Lineups
Real Sociedad (4-3-3): Remiro; Elustondo, Zubeldia, Le Normand, Rico; Illarramendi, Merino, Zubimendi; Oyarzabal, Sorloth, Kubo

Real Sociedad vs Almeria Prediction
Bearing in mind that the home team needs a win much more than Almeria because of the fight for entry into the Champions League, we expect them to beat them quite a bit. At the same time, the guests should win their survival in the league, and they currently have no higher ambitions than that. Therefore, we believe that the victory in this match will be won by the Real Sociedad team, and knowing that both teams play for a goal more, we expect that at least two goals will be scored in the entire game.
