Real Sociedad will be bidding to record their first win of the 2023-24 La Liga season when they welcome Celta Vigo to the Reale Arena on Saturday afternoon.
The home side started their campaign with a 1-1 draw against Girona, while Celta suffered a 2-0 defeat to Osasuna in their opening match of the new season.
We say: Real Sociedad 2-1 Celta Vigo
Celta are more than capable of making this an uncomfortable match for Real Sociedad, who were not at their best against Girona last time out. The Basque outfit have so much quality across the pitch, though, and we are expecting them to navigate their way to all three points here.

Real Madrid will be bidding to make it back-to-back wins at the start of their 2023-24 La Liga campaign when they travel to Almeria on Saturday night.
Carlo Ancelotti's side, who were runners-up in Spain's top flight last term, opened their season with a 2-0 victory over Athletic Bilbao, while Almeria started their campaign with a 2-0 home loss to Rayo Vallecano.
We say: Almeria 0-2 Real Madrid
Almeria have enough quality to cause Real Madrid problems in this match, but we are finding it tough to back anything other than an away win. Bellingham was excellent on his debut for the club last week and will be looking to inspire his new side to another victory early in the campaign.

Osasuna will be bidding to make it back-to-back wins at the start of the 2023-24 La Liga campaign when they welcome Athletic Bilbao to Pamplona on Saturday night.
Los Rojillos opened their season with a 2-0 victory over Celta Vigo, while Athletic suffered a 2-0 loss to Real Madrid in their first game of the new campaign at San Mames.
We say: Osasuna 1-0 Athletic Bilbao
This has all of the makings of a very interesting match, and there is not an awful lot between the two teams in terms of quality. It would certainly not be a shock to see an away victory here or indeed a draw, but we just have a feeling that Osasuna will use home advantage to claim all three points.
