Real Sociedad – Osasuna: a ticket to the last eight up for grabs at Anoeta 
On Tuesday night Real Sociedad host Osasuna in a Round of 16 tie that could swing the season. The Basques come off a big win over Getafe, while the Navarrese arrive after a frustrating defeat to Girona.
Real Sociedad: improving, but still far too inconsistent 
Real Sociedad aren’t moving at the pace expected in La Liga: just two wins in their last seven matches, and a side that struggles to string results together.
The 2-1 win over Getafe helped, but they’ll need to back it up to find some continuity.
In the Cup the Basques knocked out Eldense (2-1) thanks to Sucic and Pablo Marín. Not flashy, but the job got done.
The real worry is their home form: three games without a win in front of their own fans — a detail that’s starting to bite.
Still, there are reasons to believe: Real have won the last three meetings with Osasuna, and the last four clashes have all gone the way of the home side.
At Anoeta, that matters.
Osasuna: capable of more, but too fragile away from Pamplona 
Osasuna arrive with a bitter taste: beaten 1-0 by Girona, they haven’t won in two matches since the Levante victory in early December.
The problem is clear: on the road they’re not getting it done. Only one win in 90 minutes across their last seven away trips, and that came… in the previous round of the Cup.
That tells you this competition might be their best chance to save the season.
They know they’ve got nothing to lose and a Cup tie can flip everything.
But they’ll need to show more than in recent weeks, when Baroni’s team lacked bite and consistency.
Probable line-ups
Real Sociedad :
Remiro ; Gomez, Caleta-Car, Martin, Aramburu ; Guedes, Soler, Zakharyan, Kubo ; Oyarzabal, Mendez
Osasuna :
Herrera ; Galan, Herrando, Catena, Rosier ; Torro, Moncayola ; Munoz, Oroz, Garcia ; Budimir
Key takeaways
- Real have won just two of their last seven matches.
- Osasuna have taken only one win from their last seven away trips.
- The Basques have three straight wins over Osasuna.
- The last four meetings have favoured the home team.
Football Prediction Real Sociedad vs Osasuna
Real Sociedad to win
Real aren’t irresistible, but they look steadier than Osasuna, especially in a one-off home tie.
The Navarrese can cause problems, but the Basques seem better equipped to grab that quarter-final spot.
First, a word on our predictions
- What we publish on Mathodds is analysis, nothing more. We share an opinion, a snapshot read of the moment, but never a guarantee. Sport is what it is: unpredictable. A red card, an injury, a freak goal… and the whole script changes.
- Let’s be clear: there’s no such thing as a risk-free bet. Even when it looks “obvious”, nothing really is. Yes, that means you can lose. It’s inevitable at some point.
- Best to stay sensible. Bet small, set a budget and stick to it. Don’t touch money you need to live on. And above all: don’t chase your losses — it rarely ends well.
- A bet should stay a game, not a job or a source of income. If it takes over your life, annoys you or puts you under pressure, step away. And if needed, talk to a specialist organisation. That’s what they’re for.
- In the end, responsibility is yours. Reading our content means accepting the risk exists and that it won’t disappear, even with the best analysis in the world.
- Essential reminder: betting is banned for minors and must comply with the law in your country. Gambling can spiral (financial losses, family tension, addiction). Need Help? Call 1-800-GAMBLER. In the UK? Visit https://www.gambleaware.org/https://www.gambleaware.org/.
No commitment from us
Our predictions aren’t a contract. They carry no legal weight. In short: you can’t rely on them to claim anything if a bet loses.
Info can change
A prediction is based on what we know when we write it. But in the meantime a line-up can change, a player can pick up an injury, the weather can turn… and the analysis quickly becomes outdated. We can’t be held responsible for that.
Your role
Before you bet, just check that betting is legal where you are. If it’s not, that’s your responsibility, not ours.
Responsible gambling first
We’ll say it again: gamble in moderation. If you can’t keep control, get help sooner rather than later. We can’t be responsible for compulsive or excessive use of the info published on the site.
