Although Villarreal's performances have been erratic, this team has suddenly surprised us with a good performance. A few days ago we saw Villarreal's players play brilliantly against Barcelona. They scored 5 goals against Barcelona. And Barcelona lost the match despite a good performance.
Villarreal's performance against Real Sociedad was also good. Villarreal players played very defensively in this match. Real Sociedad dominated the entire match. Real Sociedad's players have 70% ball possession. and carried out numerous attacks. Villarreal on the other hand kept their defense tight. and made several counterattacks. The players of Villarreal made only 6 shots in the entire match.
For me this was quite a surprising result and I lost a lot of my bets because of Real Sociedad's defeat at home.
Villareal does have strong strength this season but sometimes their performance is inconsistent and if you look at the strength Villareal and Real Sociedad don't have a significant difference so Real Sociedad is more favored in this match because they are playing at their home ground but the surprise happened because of Real Sociedad lost by a landslide score.
Even though Real Sociedad still has the possibility of being able to compete in the top 4 of the La Liga standings, because of this defeat I think that possibility has disappeared.
