The Real Sociedad to win selection remains conditional on player availability and the price of that specific outcome. Recent goal frequencies describe the games above; they do not establish a winner or support an additional handicap recommendation. If the team news and available price do not support the selection, passing is preferable to treating the short sample as a reliable forecast.
The published Real Sociedad vs Lyon focus stays on match result (around 59% raw implied probability before bookmaker margin), with the reference snapshot carrying the price case until a fresher board is checked.
