Real Sociedad welcome Villarreal to San Sebastian this Sunday for La Liga action. The hosts are enjoying a superb start to the campaign which sees them atop the league table after ten games. Visitors Villarreal have also impressed in the first quarter of the campaign. They are third in the table, four points behind their upcoming opponents. Boosted by the influence of summer signing David Silva, La Real have been sensational domestically, winning their last six league matches. They are unbeaten in five of their previous six home league matches, the most recent three seeing Sociedad emerge victoriously. Gone are the days of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo scoring weekly hat-tricks and this fact is abundantly clear when you look at the La Liga scorers chart. Sociedad's Mikel Oyarzabal has been superb, but his six goals shouldn't be enough to top the charts after ten games. Another top performer for Sociedad is Mikel Merino, the midfielder who is in the league's top tens for aerial duels won and interceptions.

Villarreal are unbeaten in their last seven La Liga matches, the most recent of which was a 1-1 draw at home to Real Madrid. Attacker Gerard Moreno has been one of the division's best attacking players, scoring five goals and setting up another. The Yellow Submarine recently ended a rotten run of games without a win on the road when they beat Getafe on their last away outing. Villarreal are on a two-game win streak at Sociedad. Meetings between these two teams tend to go the way of the visiting team with four of the last five won by the guests. Sociedad have been winning at both half-time and full-time here, so Villarreal should beware a fast start. We see little separating these sides and advise backing a draw.
