Real Sociedad's thin home scoring meets Deportivo's unbeaten away record at Anoeta.

Real Sociedad are the more likely single winner, but a draw or a Deportivo win at 2.25 offers something at the price, as do Deportivo at 5.00, both teams to score at 1.78 and over 10.5 corners at 2.20. The short first-half prices do not justify support.

Context

Real Sociedad lost Aramburu inside Wednesday's session to a muscle injury in the soleus of his right leg, which removes the squad's specialist right-back for the visit of Deportivo. The expected layoff runs to several weeks, so the fix is structural rather than a like-for-like swap: a centre-back or a midfielder is likely to be asked to hold the flank, changing how the home side builds down that side and who is free to cover inside. The limitation sits in the timetable, because no return date has been set and the two-to-five-week range in circulation is a projection rather than a fixed layoff; the one settled fact is that he cannot play on Sunday.
- Aramburu left Real Sociedad's Wednesday training session early with discomfort in his right soleus.
- He has a muscle injury in the soleus of his right leg and no recovery period has been fixed.
- The problem rules him out of the Deportivo fixture and leaves Real Sociedad short of a natural right-back.
- His absence is expected to run to several weeks.

Sarr's only minutes in the October window came as a starter alongside Kalidou Koulibaly in Senegal's 1-0 win over Comoros, after two call-ups in which he did not get on, and he then flew back to join Real Sociedad's preparations for Deportivo. His return lands in the same week the squad lost its specialist right-back, so a centre-back who has just played a full match offers the coaching staff a genuine alternative shape rather than a forced one. The caveat is that 90 minutes plus the trip back from Africa is a thin basis for assuming he starts, and the right-back slot may be filled by a squad player instead.
- Sarr started and played all 90 minutes for Senegal in a 1-0 win over Comoros.
- He was in the squad but did not play against Mozambique or Ethiopia earlier in the same window.
- Sarr is a Chelsea loanee and came back to Real Sociedad to prepare for the Deportivo match.
- M. Sarr started 3 of the 5 recent team fixtures with available lineups.

Deportivo came out of the international break with Nsongo and Ede back in the group while three squad members are unavailable for the trip to Anoeta. Both returnees touch areas that matter for an away game: Nsongo is an attacking option for a side that has to create chances against a defence that has been conceding, and Ede adds a body to the back line. The unresolved part is that the three absentees are unnamed, so whether Deportivo lose first-choice players or squad depth cannot be established yet.
- Bil Nsongo and Bright Ede rejoined Deportivo's group after the October international window.
- Three squad members will be absent for the away match at Real Sociedad.
- Nsongo returns to Abegondo as a forward option for the attacking plan at Anoeta.

Four players who had been training apart worked with Deportivo's group during the week, with Amatucci the headline return and Altimira, Riki and Luismi alongside him. That matters for a squad already carrying three absentees for the trip, because midfield rotation and the bench are where a long away day is usually absorbed. The limitation is that returning to training is not the same as being ready for 90 minutes, and the detail available does not say how much of the session each of the four completed.
- Amatucci trained back with Deportivo's group this week.
- Altimira, Riki and Luismi also trained with the squad before the trip to Real Sociedad.
