📊 Real Sociedad on the brink of a historic home derby run | OneFootball

Anoeta is preparing for a date with history tonight. Real Sociedad faces the derby with the goal of securing their ticket to the Copa del Rey final in Seville and with a statistic that intimidates their eternal rival.

As revealed by Opta, the txuri-urdin team has not lost at their stadium against Athletic Club in the last nine direct encounters in all competitions.

This local dominance translates into a crushing record of six wins and three draws in favor of the Donostiarras.

To repeat a streak from more than four decades ago

The current streak places the Donostiarra squad with the opportunity to surpass a historical record dating back to the end of the last century. If Real avoids defeat today, they will achieve their best unbeaten streak at home against the Bilbao team in the last 43 years.

The goal is to improve on the nine unbeaten matches achieved between 1991 and 2000, a milestone that would mark a change of era in the derbies.

The txuri-urdin locker room is determined to achieve a positive result that would not only extend this streak but also secure their ticket to the Copa del Rey final.

The Basque derby arrives hotter than ever with this historical record on the near horizon.
