Real Sociedad to host Celta Vigo at Anoeta in LaLiga on September 3

Real Sociedad will host Celta de Vigo at the Anoeta Stadium in San Sebastian on September 3 in a LaLiga 2026-27 fixture, with La Real seeking back-to-back wins after a 2-1 victory and Celta still searching for their first league win of the season.

Real Sociedad began the campaign with two successive defeats before replying with a 2-1 win in their most recent match; they led early, conceded just before half-time and saw Orri Óskarsson score the winning goal in the 61st minute. Celta de Vigo, managed by Claudio Giráldez, have not won in LaLiga so far, drawing 0-0 with Valencia and then losing to Osasuna 2-1 and Athletic Club 2-0.

Mikel Oyarzabal, the 29-year-old Spanish forward, played a central role in Real’s 2-1 win by providing the two assists despite not scoring, and the report describes him as a constant threat to opposition defences. Real will be without Alvaro Odriozola and Pablo Marin as both continue their recoveries from injury, and manager Pellegrino Matarazzo will be absent from the touchline after receiving a red card at the end of the previous fixture.

For Celta, Miguel Román, the 23-year-old Spanish midfielder, is singled out as a player who can influence games from midfield and chip in with goals as the side look for their first win. Borja Iglesias will not be included in Celta’s squad because of a muscle injury, and the coverage notes the team is under pressure given its current results and away status for this match.

The two projected starting lineups provided are: Real Sociedad — Remiro (GK); Aramburu, Zubeldia, Martin, Gomez; Sucic, Turrientes, Soler, Barrenetxea; Oskarsson, Oyarzabal. Celta de Vigo — Radu (GK); Rodriguez, Starfelt, Faye; Nunez, Román, Moriba, Carreira; Swedberg, Gonzalez, Jutgla.

The preview judges that neither team is in top form but gives Real Sociedad a slight advantage because they are at home, and it predicts La Real will claim the win in this LaLiga fixture. Celta’s need for improvement across several departments is emphasised as a factor that increases pressure on the visitors.

The match is scheduled for September 3 at the Anoeta Stadium; in Spain the broadcast outlets listed are Movistar, DAZN and Teledeporte, while in the USA coverage is listed as ESPN, ESPN+, and ESPN Deportes, and the preview notes that viewers can use FanCode for access.
