    • Outside view: generic La Liga split is about home 45% / draw 27% / away 28%; Real Sociedad’s quality lifts them above average against most opponents but not usually above ~50–60% unless home to weaker sides.
    • Inside view: the available signal points to a difficult fixture profile—only a true away-at-Real Madrid/Barcelona/Atlético-type setup or major squad absences would justify a low-teens win probability; the 90-minute rule further caps YES because a draw is a loss.
    • Market check: my independent estimate is mid-to-high teens, only modestly above the 12.5% quote; with just $257 24h volume, the small divergence is plausibly thin liquidity rather than reliable information.

    What would change it: Confirmation that the match is home versus a bottom-half side, or news of multiple opponent starters out, would push the estimate materially upward; confirmed away at a full-strength elite opponent would validate the low-teens estimate.
