Real Sociedad will look to continue their recovery when they face Celta in La Liga on 3 September, with the match available to watch on Match TV and Match! Football 2.
The fixture begins at 22:00 Moscow time, offering Real Sociedad the chance to move on from a difficult opening to the campaign and build on their first victory. The Basque side have taken three points from their first three league matches and currently sit 13th in the table.
Their opening result was a narrow 1-0 defeat by Real Betis. That was followed by a much heavier loss against Real Madrid, who demonstrated their superiority in a 4-1 victory. Real Sociedad responded in the third round, beating Espanyol 2-1 at home to register their first points of the season.
The win over Espanyol provides a more positive backdrop for the meeting with Celta, although Real Sociedad remain in the lower half of the standings after three games. Their record so far includes one victory and two defeats, leaving them with little room to drop further if they are to improve their position.
Celta have made an even poorer start to the new championship. After three matches, the Galician club have collected only one point and are also positioned near the bottom of the table.
That leaves both teams looking for a result, although their situations are different. Real Sociedad have already put their first points on the board after recovering from successive defeats, while Celta are still searching for their first win of the campaign.
The match will be broadcast live in Russia on Match TV and Match! Football 2. Viewers can also watch a free stream of the game on the Winline website.
A text commentary will be available through LiveResult for those who want to follow the key moments online. The combination of television coverage, a free online stream and live written updates gives supporters several ways to follow the meeting.
Real Sociedad’s victory over Espanyol was their only success in the opening three rounds, while Celta’s sole point leaves them with an immediate need to improve. With both sides starting the season in the lower part of the standings, the match presents an opportunity for either club to change the direction of its campaign.
