Girona vs Real Sociedad: Match Preview and Team Updates

Match Context

The La Liga clash at Estadio Municipal de Montilivi in Girona kicks off on 14 May 2026. Girona enter round 36 in 18th place on 39 points (goal difference -15), fighting against relegation. Real Sociedad arrive 8th on 44 points (goal difference -1), targeting European qualification via the Europa League league phase.

Girona Availability

Girona face a lengthy absentee list. Juan Carlos (knee injury) is sidelined. Portu (knee injury) is sidelined. V. Vanat (injury) is sidelined. M. ter Stegen (hamstring injury) is sidelined. D. van de Beek (Achilles tendon injury) is sidelined. None of these players are listed among the league’s top scorers, but the cumulative impact reduces rotation options across goalkeeper, midfield and attack.

Real Sociedad Availability

Real Sociedad also have several enforced absences. G. Guedes (toe injury) is sidelined. A. Odriozola (knee injury) is sidelined. I. Ruperez (knee injury) is sidelined. O. Oskarsson (yellow cards) is sidelined through suspension and must be counted as out. Their leading league scorer Mikel Oyarzabal, on 15 goals with 3 assists, remains available and his presence offsets some attacking losses.

Impact Summary

Girona’s absentees mainly thin depth rather than removing primary goal threats from a side with 37 league goals. Real Sociedad, with 54 goals scored, retain their key finisher Oyarzabal, so their attacking output is less compromised despite multiple injuries and Oskarsson’s suspension.
