Athletic Club vs Real Sociedad prediction 01.11.2026 | La Liga

Athletic Club enters this one on the back of a resounding 6-1 away win against AE Prat in the Copa del Rey. Los Leones look confident right now.

Edin Terzić’s men are finding life a bit of a roller-coaster in their domestic campaign, pulling off stellar offensive displays but also dropping points like a heavy 3-1 away defeat to Levante. They sit in 8^th position, having gathered varied results over their first 8 league fixtures this season.

Their home record is a formidable weapon. Los Leones are currently riding a four-game unbeaten streak at stadium, anchored by a 3-0 dismantling of Atlético and a 4-0 crushing of Getafe.

Oihan Sancet remains a rare bright spark, though he's rushing back from a calf injury to make the bench. Up front, Alex Berenguer is a man in form after scoring 3 goals and 3 assists in eight appearances this season.

Defensively, they look vulnerable after losing midfielder Iñigo Ruiz de Galarreta to a moderate hamstring tear, but thankfully center-back Aymeric Laporte is fully back from suspension to shore up the backline.

Real Sociedad prepares for this one on the back of a 2-1 home victory against Levante. Txuri-Urdin are definitely riding an emotional wave.

Pellegrino Matarazzo’s men have pulled off a brilliant run of consistency, balancing domestic duties with a roaring 6-0 thrashing of Lillestrøm in Europe. Despite scoring 13 times in their last three matches, recent games have exposed some defensive cracks with the club boasting just one clean sheet in nine competitive games.

Their away form is a bit terrifying for opponents, though. They are currently undefeated in their last five matches on the road, including four wins and a draw.

Luka Sučić remains their undisputed talisman in the middle, netting three La Liga goals this season to spearhead the attack. Fortunately, Matarazzo's squad has no major new injury concerns with Pablo Marín back from suspension, though they must manage squad rotation to maintain consistency ahead of upcoming European ties.
