Real Sociedad vs Celta Vigo La Liga Tips, Prediction & Live Stream
Real Sociedad are tipped to continue their strong recent home form in San Sebastian by beating winless Celta Vigo on Thursday night, with Spanish World Cup striker Mikel Oyarzabal backed to get on the scoresheet in this matchup once again.
It was a tough draw to open the season for Sociedad, but they got off the mark with a 2-1 victory over Espanyol at home last week and they can double down here.
Sociedad are unbeaten in 12 of their last 14 home La Liga outings, while they also defeated Vigo 3-1 on their own turf last season, with Oyarzabal grabbing a brace.
Oyarzabal provided two assists against Espanyol and can find the back of the net himself in this fixture, with the striker scoring a career-high 10 goals against Vigo over the years.
Vigo are winless after three games and slow starts are something we've grown accustomed to with this team after they went nine matches before registering their first win last term.
So this looks like a good spot for Sociedad to make it back-to-back wins and for Oyarzabal to get off the mark for this season. Vigo can get on the scoresheet in defeat, with Sociedad struggling with their defence for a long period now.

Real Sociedad Form Analysis
As mentioned, it was a tough opening to the season for Sociedad as they faced two road trips to Betis and Real Madrid.
Pellegrino Matarazzo's side were edged out 2-1 by Betis before being outclassed 4-1 against Real.
Returning to San Sebastian, Sociedad extended their great home form in the league, toppling Espanyol 2-1.
Oyarzabal laid on two assists for Ander Barrenetxea and Orri Oskarsson as Sociedad picked up their first win of the season.
La Real will be hoping to improve on their 10th place finish in the league from last term, but they made up for their average league form by winning the Copa del Rey, which propelled them into the Europa League.
Real Sociedad Team News
Alvaro Odriozola remains sidelined, while Pablo Marin is in some doubt.
Celta Vigo Form Analysis
Slow start to the season for Vigo, emulating last term where they didn't pick up their first win until Round 10.
However, Vigo finished strongly to secure a spot in the European places for the second straight season, so they know how to respond.
After a dour 0-0 stalemate with Valencia in their season opener, Vigo suffered back-to-back home defeats against Osasuna (2-1) and Athletic Bilbao (2-0).
Claudio Giraldez's side have now lost 10 of their last 21 home league games since the start of last season, so perhaps a road trip to Donostia could prove fruitful.
Celta Vigo Team News
Spanish international striker Borja Iglesias remains sidelined with injury, however Marco sAlonso returns from suspension.
Couhaib Driouech has arrived from PSV and might feature off the bench.
