On January 18, Espanyol left the Copa del Rey, losing away to Real Sociedad's neighbor, Athletic (0:1). After that, the Catalans logically defeated Betis, then lost on the road to Almeria and tied with Osasuna. Before the 21st round, Espanyol occupies the 17th position with 21 points, one point less than Valencia from the relegation zone. The Perroquets also has one of the worst home stats in the division, namely, 18th, +2=4-4, 13:13 goal difference.

Real Sociedad's recent stats are worse than those of Catalonians. After dropping out of the Copa del Rey by Barcelona, they drew with Real Madrid, and a few days later, they lost 0:1 to Valladolid at home. In general, the last five matches involving the Basques were under ones. Before Sunday's round, Real Sociedad takes third place in the standings, with 39 points, four more than Atletico. RS will no longer fight for the La Liga title, concentrating on maintaining their position in the top 4. Real Sociedad's away statistics are also third in the division, +7=1-2, 16-8 goal difference.

Lately, Real Sociedad has been a total under team. The Basques are not scoring frequently but do not concede either. In this case, Real Sociedad focuses on the national championship. Espanyol, after a small surge, is not great again. The team is close to the relegation zone, although they should not end up there. The Catalans certainly should gain at least one point since the upcoming match is a home one. However, the Perroquets' opponent is the top team, so the hosts will perform cautiously.
