Tegucigalpa, Honduras – Club Deportivo Olimpia takes on Real Sociedad in a crucial match for the Torneo Clausura 2025 this Sunday at the Estadio Nacional Chelato Uclés. Scheduled for 7:30 PM, the match is a must-win for Olimpia as they aim to reclaim their dominance in the league following a recent defeat.

Olimpia, currently tied for the top position in the league with Real España, finds themselves in a precarious situation after falling 1-0 to Olancho FC in their last outing. This defeat marked the team’s third loss of the season, raising concerns among fans and analysts alike regarding coach Eduardo Espinel‘s tactics.

Despite the setback, Olimpia remains a threat, boasting a solid record of eight wins, three draws, and only one loss for a total of 27 points. They were fortunate to maintain their position at the top as Real España, despite a 3-0 victory over Juticalpa FC, trail by a single goal difference.

“After the last match, we need to regroup and focus on securing three points this evening,” said Espinel during a pre-game press conference. “The team is aware of the stakes and the need to perform at home.”

Injuries could pose a challenge for Olimpia, as midfielder Edwin Rodríguez is sidelined for the next 10 to 15 days due to a recent injury. This will necessitate adjustments in the lineup as they prepare to face a struggling Real Sociedad team.

Real Sociedad enters the match with a desperate need for points, currently sitting at the bottom of the league. They have yet to secure a victory this season, with six losses and seven draws, and are fighting to avoid relegation from the Liga Nacional.

“We are going into this match with the intent to surprise and earn what will be a crucial point or three for us,” said Real Sociedad head coach Carlos de Toro. “We understand the position we’re in, but we also know that anything can happen in football.”

The match will be broadcast on Deportes TVC, providing fans across the country and abroad with access to the live action. As both teams prepare for kickoff, the stakes are high, with Olimpia wanting to consolidate its lead and Real Sociedad seeking a breakthrough victory.

This match marks the 14th round of the Clausura 2025, and though both teams are at different ends of the performance spectrum, the pressure and unpredictability of league play ensure that anything can transpire on the pitch tonight.
