Real Sociedad have struggled for offensive fluidity on home soil this season, scoring only two goals in three league fixtures at an average of 0.7 goals per home match and failing to score in two of those games. Their attacking resources are further stretched by the suspension of O. Oskarsson.
Deportivo La Coruna arrive without their primary attacking threat P. Aubameyang, who is responsible for half of the team's ten league goals this campaign. Recent league matches involving Deportivo have been low-scoring affairs, featuring 1-1 draws against Getafe and Real Betis alongside a 1-0 loss to Sevilla. Historical data also aligns with a modest goal count, as sixty percent of the previous ten head-to-head meetings between the two teams remained under the 2.5 goal threshold.
