Athletic Club vs Real Sociedad match preview

Athletic Club are currently 11th in LaLiga standings and have had quite an inconsistent season so far. Gaizka Garitano's side have won five, lost seven and drawn three games in the Spanish top division this term, racking up 18 points from their 15 games. Athletic Club were held to a 1-1 draw against Villarreal just a few days before Christmas.

On the other hand, Real Sociedad have slipped off their pace and are currently in third place on the LaLiga table. One of the main talking points during the early weeks of the season was whether La Real were capable of maintaining a title bid during a time when Real Madrid and Barcelona were struggling for consistency. However, with the two giants now gaining momentum, La Real have picked up just three points from their six games, losing three in a row.
