Leaders Sociedad target Basque derby glory

Real Sociedad top scorer Mikel Oyarzabal will be targeting a 10th straight league game without defeat against Athletic Bilbao

It is all to play for in Sunday’s Basque derby as leaders Real Sociedad look to keep their title challenge on track with victory over fierce rivals Athletic Bilbao.

Both Sociedad and Bilbao have only suffered one defeat this season and they meet in a huge derby clash at the Reale Arena.

Though Athletic are undefeated on the road in 2021-22, they have not won on any of their past four visits to their old foes. The visitors boast the best defensive record in the division having conceded just six goals but the hosts have kept seven clean sheets, five of them at home.
