Real Sociedad - Celta Vigo

Mikel Oyarzabal remains the focal point for Real Sociedad as they welcome Celta Vigo to the Reale Arena on 3 September 2026 for matchday 6 of LaLiga. Fresh from a 2-1 victory over Espanyol, the hosts will look to build momentum despite the notable absence of goalkeeper Alex Remiro, with Unai Marrero expected to deputize. The expected XI, featuring the creative influence of Takefusa Kubo and Carlos Soler, aims to stabilize their league campaign after a challenging run that included a heavy defeat to Real Madrid.

Celta Vigo arrive in search of a revival following consecutive losses to Athletic Bilbao and Osasuna. Iago Aspas continues to lead their attack, supported by a defensive unit featuring Marcos Alonso and Carl Starfelt. Having held Valencia to a draw in late August, the visitors must tighten their structure to avoid the defensive lapses seen in their recent outings. With both sides eager to find consistency, this encounter promises to be a tactical battle for control in midfield.
