Personal analysis: Real Sociedad plays as a team that prefers positional warfare and offense. Once the team is in high-intensity pressing and speeding up, the offensive operation in the frontcourt is not so smooth. The finishing efficiency of center forward Oyarzabal, winger Takefusa Kubo and Barrenetchea is not high, especially Takefusa Kubo and Barrenetchea are both breakthrough players. In addition, young player Oscarsson can actually be considered to play in the starting position. Judging from the situation in recent games, his ability to find opportunities in front of the goal is better than Oyarzabal. The team's defense line's counterattack and ball handling abilities are relatively weak. Except for the left-back Lopez who can often hold the ball and advance to participate in the offense, the rest of the players are difficult to play a role in the offense. In addition, players like Aramburu and Zubedia do not have much problem in confrontation and positional defense, but their own retreat speed is slightly slower, and they have no advantage when facing opponents with faster counterattack speed. Osasuna plays relatively conservatively on the field. Once they are ahead, they like to play defensive counterattacks. Their own style of play in the frontcourt is relatively simple, that is, they pass a lot of balls to the high center forward Budimir in the penalty area through the two flanks and midfield to complete the goal. This player has a strong ability to finish in the penalty area, and most of the defenders of the mid- and lower-level teams in La Liga find it difficult to defend him alone. In addition, Garcia and Zaragoza, who are wingers, are also players with strong wing breakthrough and passing abilities. With Budimir's offensive effect, the team's interception and confrontation abilities in the backcourt are not bad, especially in terms of retreat speed and the ability to counterattack in the backcourt. Even if they encounter strong teams, they have considerable counterattack abilities.

In terms of strength, the gap between Real Sociedad and Osasuna is not that big, but Real Sociedad has been wavering in offensive tactics this season. They want to abandon the traditional positional warfare and pass-control style but fail to implement it, which leads to the team's chaotic offensive play in many cases. In addition, the speed of the back line players is not strong, which makes them suffer in the high-speed attack and defense transition. In this game, Real Sociedad's home field handicap of 0.75 goals is a bit high. In terms of Real Sociedad's offensive style, it is difficult to put enough pressure on Osasuna's back line, so Lao Li still recommends Osasuna +0.75 win option for this game, and the score is expected to be 1-1 or 0-1.
