España La Liga: Espanyol vs Real Sociedad 23/05/2026
Espanyol secured survival with back-to-back wins and will look to finish the season strongly in front of their fans, while Real Sociedad have been playing without pressure since winning the Copa del Rey. Both teams are expected to approach the game offensively, making goals an attractive option given Sociedad’s strong attack and vulnerable defense.
Betting on goals
Espanyol had not managed a single win throughout the whole of 2026 and were in serious danger. However, with six points from their last two matches (home against Bilbao and away against Osasuna), they secured survival and head into the final round relaxed, even holding some minimal, mostly theoretical, chances of qualifying for Europe. What is certain is that they will play with freedom and try to say goodbye to their fans with a third consecutive victory.
Real Sociedad won the Copa del Rey and completed the season without pressure. With European qualification secured and far away from the relegation battle, they may not have won any of their six matches after the final, but they remained competitive in all of them.
This match offers very good conditions for goal betting. Espanyol, in front of their fans, will play offensively, while Sociedad are often involved in chaotic, high-tempo games. They have the best attack in the league after the top four teams in the standings, but with sixty goals conceded they also own the worst defense in the entire division.
