Real Sociedad vs Girona: La Liga Prediction (19.05.2025)

On Sunday, May 19 at 00:00 WIB, at the Reale Arena stadium in San Sebastián, local football club Real Sociedad will host Catalan side Girona in the penultimate matchday 37 of the 2024–2025 Spanish La Liga season. The teams are neighbors in the standings, occupying 12th and 13th places respectively. The hosts are two points ahead and still have faint hopes of fighting for eighth place, which grants a spot in the UEFA Europa Conference League.

Let’s make a prediction for the Real Sociedad vs Girona match, taking into account the recent performances of both teams and the slight motivation of the home side, who are also slightly favored by bookmakers. A bet on a win for the “white and blues” comes with odds of 2.42, a draw at 2.80, and a win for the “white and reds” at 3.75. The over 2.5 goals market is offered at 2.21, meaning analysts expect a low-scoring match. For both teams to score, the odds are 1.80.

Real Sociedad

Imanol Alguacil’s team is experiencing a disastrous collapse in the last two months. In the past six matchdays, the team has picked up only two points, essentially giving up on the fight for European competition spots. In their last four matches, the “white and blues” haven’t scored a single goal, despite having quality players such as Mikel Oyarzabal, Sergio Gómez, Takefusa Kubo, Martín Zubimendi, and others.

How broken must their attacking play be if they can’t score against Alavés, Mallorca, or Celta? On the other hand, Real Sociedad’s offense hasn’t really fired up all season. Currently, only two La Liga teams have a worse goal-scoring record — Getafe and relegated Valladolid.

Girona

Under Míchel, Girona also hasn’t been very productive in attack since the departure of Artem Dovbyk. But the Catalan coach always has a “joker” up his sleeve in the form of Uruguayan striker Cristhian Stuani. This season, he has scored ten La Liga goals. In the previous matchday, he set an interesting record — since the 2022–2023 season, he has scored 19 goals coming off the bench, the most among players in Europe’s top five leagues.

Head-to-Head and Stats

Since 2022, the teams have faced each other five times. Real Sociedad leads the win tally 2–0. In the first round of this season, Sociedad beat Girona 1–0 away.

Prediction

It’s hard to say what exactly is going on in the Basque club’s camp, but their recent results are disheartening. Girona, meanwhile, occasionally shows flashes of good play. We’re betting that Girona will not lose, at odds of 1.61.
