Girona vs Real Sociedad Preview (Thursday 14.05.2026) La Liga:
Possible starting lineups:
Girona:
Gazzaniga; Martinez, Frances, Reis, Moreno; Witsel, Martin; Tsygankov, Ounahi, Gil; Echeverri
Real Sociedad:
Remiro; Aramburu, Martin, Caleta-Car, Gomez; Soler, Turrientes; Marin, Sucic, Barrenetxea; Oyarzabal
Girona will be looking for important three points when they welcome Real Sociedad to Montilivi. The Catalan outfit are inside the drop zone and they are deeply involved into the relegation battle. Girona have 39 points, just as four other teams: Espanyol, Levante, Mallorca and Elche. There are more clubs fighting for survival, like Sevilla with 40 points. However, Girona must do their homework and they need to collect as much as possible points in the last three fixtures. The opponents are not easy at all, Atletico Madrid at Metropolitano and Elche at home. The current form is poor, Girona have three defeats on the last four matches in La Liga. The defeats from Valencia at Mestalla and Betis at Montilivi could somehow be swallowed, but the home defeat to Mallorca is simply unacceptable. The series of defeats ended in the last round when they drew against Rayo Vallecano after Cristhian Stuani scored a 90th-minute equalizer. I believe the atmosphere in the squad is now better. Bryan Gil is back from suspension, but coach Michel has four injury worries: Marc-Andre ter Stegen, Donny van de Beek, Cristian Portu and Vladyslav Vanat remain out.
Real Sociedad are in the middle of the table with 44 points and it seems the season is finished for them. Pellegrino Matarazzo’s men won their most important match against Atletico Madrid in Copa del Rey final. It was their fourth cup trophy in the history. Atletico were clear favorites in the final, but the match ended 2:2 after the regular time. The game eventually go to penalty roulette in which Real Sociedad were better side. Or maybe Atletico were unlucky. Since that day (18. April), Real Sociedad have no win in La Liga. It is clear everybody - fans, players, coaching staff and club officials - were celebrating the trophy. Lot of beer was drunk and it wasn't surprise they lost 1:0 to Getafe three days later. Aiming to claim their first La Liga win since April 4, Real Sociedad will be able to take confidence from the fact they have won two of their last three away games against Girona, including an 1:0 victory on their most recent trip to Montilivi in October 2024. About the team news, Oskarsson will serve a one-match ban after picking up his fifth yellow card of the season. Alvaro Odriozola is long-term injury victim, while Igor Zubeldia and Goncalo Guedes are rated as doubtful.
Girona vs Real Sociedad Prediction:
Real Sociedad have won their most important match this year, the Copa del Rey final against Atletico Madrid. But after that started the issues. Overall, Sociedad have collected just two of the possible 12 points after their triumphant night in Sevilla. The cup victory means they will play in UEFA Europa League next season, so I expect a relaxed approach from Sociedad in the last three rounds in La Liga. Matarazzo must try to find a way to keep the players motivated in the last three rounds. Girona, meanwhile, are in much worse position. They are inside the drop zone and they are deeply involved into the relegation battle. Girona have 39 points, just as four other teams: Espanyol, Levante, Mallorca and Elche. There are more clubs fighting for survival, like Sevilla with 40 points. However, Girona must do their homework and they need to collect as much as possible points from the last three fixtures. The opponents are not easy at all, Atletico Madrid at Metropolitano and Elche at home. So, this is a "must win" situation for Girona. They will attack, but Sociedad will play without pressure. Their last results suggest goals, Sociedad played a 2:2 draw with Betis and 3:3 with Rayo Vallecano. The cup final with Atletico was also efficient (2:2). I expect at least three goals at Montilivi.
Girona vs Real Sociedad Pick: Over 2.5 goals @ 1.77 with
