The two sides have met twelve times since 2020, with all but one of those fixtures taking place in the Spanish top flight. Real Sociedad had the better overall record in that period, picking up seven wins and two draws, while Celta Vigo were winners on three occasions. The average number of goals per game was 2.1.
Celta Vigo team overview
Celta Vigo remain the only team yet to win a game in the Spanish top flight this season. Los Celestes have drawn six and lost two of their eight games so far and have failed to keep a clean sheet in any of them.
However, head coach Claudio Giráldez will be motivated by the fact that they had a similar start last season, picking up only one win from their first 16 league games, yet still qualifying for European football.
A further boost ahead of Sunday’s clash is that Los Celestes won both of their last two meetings with Real Sociedad, with an aggregate score of 3:0.
Sergio Carreira made his first appearance since injuring his collateral ligament in September, and Mihailo Ristic has also recovered from injury.

Real Sociedad team overview
Like their hosts, Real Sociedad have also had a very poor start to the campaign, with only one win from eight games. The visitors have suffered five defeats, three of which were away games, conceding an average of two goals per game in that spell.
Having suffered losses in their last two games against Barcelona and Rayo Vallecano, Sergio Francisco's team will be hoping for a change in fortunes after the international break. Orri Óskarsson has missed the last five games due to a thigh problem, and Sunday’s game comes too soon for him. The visitors' injury list also includes centre-back Jon Martín, who is dealing with an ankle injury.

Prediction
Having lost each of their last three away games, Real Sociedad will not have wanted to face Celta at the Balaídos immediately after the international break but the hosts are yet to win at this ground this season.
The visitors have scored in six of their eight games so far this season, and in 10 of their last 11 visits to this stadium, so backing the away side to score seems like the obvious choice.
Three reasons we expect both teams to score in this game
- Both teams scored in five of the last seven meetings between the two sides.
- Bets on btts – yes won in three of the last four away games of Real Sociedad.
- Both teams scored in each of the last seven league games of Celta Vigo.
