Villarreal - Real Sociedad

Villarreal welcomes Real Sociedad at "El Madrigal" in the first match of the 1/8 finals of the Cup of Spain.

Villarreal had played relatively well in the new season. Team took the sixth position in the standings and looking to the participation in the Euro tournaments. From the beginning of the season 2014/2015, Villarreal managed to keep their place and now the "yellow submarine" are even in a great series of 11 consecutive games without a loss. In one of these matches, Villarreal managed to beat even the current champion Atletico Madrid.

Real Sociedad are positioned in the lower half of the table - 13th place. However, the team began to play quite stable and has four consecutive games without defeat. Last defeat was conceded right here at "El Madrigal" in the early December 2014 against the today`s rival Villarreal with 4-0. The most interesting of Real Sociedad is that they managed to defeat all of the three "big" in the Primera Division this season, which put them the nickname - "Killer of Giants" (4-2 against Real Madrid, 2-1 with Atletico Madrid and 1-0 in the last round against Barcelona). Even their "Estadio Anoaeta" was renamed "The cemetery of giants".

Most likely, both teams will play with the same strategy as they play in La Liga and we think that the meeting will end with under 2.5 goals. Both teams will make major changes and who will go forward will be decided in the second collision, which will be played on January 14, 2015.

Prediction Villarreal - Real Sociedad: under 2.5 goals
Security: 7/10
Odds: 2.00 at bet365
