Still adapting to life after Andoni Iraola, the Cherries have started to find their feet in recent weeks and have shown they are a tough team to beat.
It has been a mixed start to the season for Sociedad and, following a 3-0 home defeat at the hands of Atletico Madrid in their last outing, Txuri-Urdin face a tough game against Premier League opposition this week.

Prediction
Given Sociedad's record on home turf of late, Bournemouth are fancied to head back to the south coast of England with all three points.
The Cherries have shown they are more than capable of scoring goals on the road, while the team are starting to adapt to German head coach Rose's way of playing.
Expect midfielder Alex Scott to play a significant role in the play in and around the box, while Justin Kluivert and Evanilson can provide the cutting edge in front of goal.
Real have their own attacking threats and it would be little surprise to see the hosts get on the scoresheet.
However, the visitors have the extra quality across the park to secure all three points at Reale Arena.
