Cards

Foyth most bookable — Villarreal Argentine, 6 YC, away in Basque Country

Real Sociedad host Villarreal at the Reale Arena — both on 9 points with identical form (W-W-L-W). Oyarzabal (18 goals, 56 SoT) is Sociedad's captain and the key pick here. Foyth (6 YC) carries card risk for Villarreal away in the Basque Country. Sociedad corners (5.6), Oyarzabal SoT and Foyth's booking are the main angles.

CornersLow-medium risk

Sociedad most corners — 5.6 per game at the Reale Arena

Real Sociedad averaged 5.6 corners per game in 2025/26. At the Reale Arena against Villarreal (5.8), Oyarzabal's directness and Merino's delivery give Sociedad a home corner advantage in this Basque-Spanish clash.

Shots on targetLow-medium risk

Mikel Oyarzabal 2+ shots on target

Oyarzabal had 18 goals and 56 SoT in 2025/26 — Sociedad's prolific captain and La Liga's most consistent Basque attacker. At home against Villarreal who conceded 52 goals, his movement and shooting make 2+ SoT a reliable pick.

Yellow cardLow-medium risk

Juan Foyth to be booked

Foyth accumulated 6 yellow cards in 2025/26 as Villarreal's aggressive Argentine right-back. Away at the Reale Arena facing Oyarzabal's directness and Merino's progressive runs, his combative style carries high booking risk.
