Real Sociedad vs Celta Vigo Tips & Live Stream – Home Advantage in La Liga
Mikel Oyarzabal made a successful return to Real Sociedad's starting eleven, inspiring them to a 2-1 victory versus Espanyol last weekend. With Oyarzabal back in action, Sociedad's attacking play looked much sharper. Thanks to this renewed momentum and Celta Vigo's ongoing struggles, Sociedad are seen as strong favorites for their upcoming clash. The key takeaway is that Oyarzabal's return has significantly improved Sociedad's outlook.
- Real Sociedad returned to winning ways last weekend
- We are backing them to secure second straight victory
- Watch Real Sociedad vs Celta Vigo live in La Liga
Celta Vigo have created just a couple of chances in the opening three rounds and overall, their form is quite poor. I am backing Real Sociedad to win in front of the home crowd.

Real Sociedad Enter This Clash with Confidence
Real Sociedad are having a rough start to the new La Liga campaign, securing just three points from their opening three games and sit in 13th place.
The San Sebastian side missed two huge chances in the first round against Real Betis in Sevilla and got punished, losing 1-0, while they stood no chance in the second match against Real Madrid, registering a 4-1 loss at Bernabeu.
Real Sociedad claimed their first victory last weekend, beating Espanyol 2-1 at home. Orri Oskarsson and Ander Barranetxea appeared on the scoresheet while Mikel Oyarzabal provided both assists.
Celta Struggled in August
Start of the 2026/27 campaign is disastrous for Celta Vigo, claiming just one point from the opening three games while netting just one goal.
Claudio Giraldez's side held Valencia to a goalless draw in the first match in mid-August, then had a 1-0 lead against Osasuna in home premiere but things changed after Marcos Alonso was sent off right after the break, leading to a 2-1 loss.
Last weekend, they were deservedly beaten by Athletic Bilbao 2-0 at Balaidos, posting 0.75-2.78 xG with 8-17 shots.

Verdict
Mikel Oyarzabal has finally returned to the starting lineup and Sociedad looked much better with him leading the attack last weekend, beating Espanyol 2-1. I like their chances of beating struggling Celta Vigo as well.
