Real Sociedad B take on visiting club Girona FC at Reale Arena in Donostia-San Sebastián in the La Liga 2 meeting this Monday both sides from an impressive last time out having managed victories.
Real Sociedad are now placed in the 18th position after winning 4 times with 5 draws and have lost 7 matches to manage 17 points in the 16 fixtures. Real Sociedad have not been on a consistent run having not managed to win in the earlier three fixtures losing in all before the latest fixture win.
Real Sociedad will now look to make it back to back wins after the 1-0 away win in the fixture against Sporting Gijon. Real Sociedad B managed 52% possession and 12 shots at goal with 5 on target with Olasagasti getting the net in the second half.
The Basques have failed to prevent opponents from scoring in 5 of their previous 6 matches, letting in 8 goals during that time. Coming to this match head Coach Xabi Alonso returns to the bench after he watched the Sporting Gijon game from the stands due to suspension.
The Catalans, on the other hand, aim to maintain on their fine spell of form from the last several weeks. The Catalans had a poor start to the season after falling in the playoff finalist last season and have had to recover. They now go to this match having lost only once in their last six matches.
Girona side now comes into this match on the back of a 2-0 win at home to Cartagena last weekend having managed 54% possession and 15 attempts on goal with 6 of them on target, the goals coming from Alex Baena and Cristhian Stuani.
Girona kept a clean sheet last time out.
This will be the first head to head meeting between the two teams and is expected to be a tight match. Real Sociedad B have played 7 home matches in a row without winning. In the last six Girona matches only in one have they been scored more than one goal while Sociedad have been in 2 matches more than a goal scored against.
