Real Sociedad
Real Sociedad operate as a fairly balanced outfit, with xG metrics suggesting they're neither particularly clinical (1.45 scored) nor defensively fragile (1.48 conceded), though recent form paints a concerning picture—winless across their last four settled matches with two draws sandwiching two defeats. The club's inability to convert chances or tighten their backline has crystallised into results that underscore the gap between their underlying profile and actual outcomes. With no fixture currently scheduled in this window, model activity will resume once their next opponent is confirmed. Bawler's Banker picks on Sociedad have proven reliable, hitting at 100% across four historical selections.
How to read this: the green bar shows the average goals Real Sociedad were expected to score per match (their xG output). The red bar shows what opponents are expected to score against them. The diamond on each bar marks the Spain: La Liga average — if the bar extends past the diamond, Real Sociedad are above average there.
How to read this: the solid line is the goals Real Sociedad actually scored each match. The dashed line is the goals the model expected them to score (xG). When the solid line is above the dashed, they overperformed — they finished better than the chances they created suggested. When it's below, they underperformed. Persistent underperformance often regresses; a one-off gap usually doesn't.
How to read this: each tile is one settled match, most recent first. Green = win, amber = draw, red = loss. Numbers show the actual scoreline from Real Sociedad's perspective. Tap a tile to see Bawler's full prediction for that match.
