📊 Match recap and data context

Real Sociedad beat Espanyol 2-1 at the Reale Arena in La Liga. Our model backed a Real Sociedad win at 43 percent probability, and the pick landed. Sociedad's recent form showed one win and one draw across five matches, while Espanyol arrived in poor shape with just one win in their last five outings. The head-to-head record between these sides offered little clarity; their two most recent meetings had both ended level. Past performance does not guarantee future results.
