SOCCER-LALIGA-PREVIEW

BARCELONA, Spain (Interstat) — Girona hosts Real Sociedad on Thursday, May 14, 2026, in a La Liga matchup at Montilivi Stadium that carries significant implications for both sides as the season enters its final stretch.

The teams enter the contest heading in opposite directions.

Girona (1-1 at Rayo Vallecano on May 11) has shown recent resilience, going unbeaten in its last three league matches after a brief dip. That stretch included a 1-1 draw with Real Madrid on April 10 and a 1-0 win over Villarreal on April 6. Girona also posted an impressive 3-0 victory over Athletic Bilbao on March 14. However, the team suffered a 3-2 loss to Real Betis on April 21 and a 1-0 defeat to Mallorca on May 1.

Real Sociedad (2-2 draw at home against Real Betis on May 9) arrives in a tougher patch. The club has managed just one win in its last eight league matches dating to March 15, when it defeated Osasuna 3-1. That span includes losses to Sevilla (1-0), Getafe (1-0) and Villarreal (3-1), as well as draws against Atletico Madrid (2-2), Deportivo Alaves (3-3) and Real Oviedo (3-3).

In the most recent head-to-head meeting Dec. 12, 2025, Girona won 2-1 at Real Sociedad.

Interstat’s game simulator projects a 1-1 draw.

Both teams face quick turnarounds after Thursday. Real Sociedad hosts Valencia on May 17. Girona travels to face Atletico Madrid on the same day.
