Match preview

Real Sociedad return to the Reale Arena looking to build on their previous home outing, having defeated Espanyol 2-1 in their only home match of the campaign so far. Imanol Alguacil's side sits 13th in the table with three points from three matches, having encountered difficult away trips to Real Madrid and Real Betis early in the season.

Celta Vigo travel north in search of their first league victory, currently placed 17th with one point from three fixtures. The Galicians have struggled in the final third, scoring just once in three league outings, although they did secure a goalless draw in their sole away match at Valencia.

Head-to-head records favor the Basque hosts, who have claimed five victories across the last ten encounters compared to two for Celta Vigo. With Celta managing only one goal in 270 minutes of league football and missing forward Borja Iglesias through injury, Real Sociedad hold the edge on home turf.
