Real Sociedad VS Levante

Seventh-placed Real Sociedad returns to action after the international break with a home game against second-from-bottom Levante in La Liga. While the hosts are three points below the European football slots, Levante are three adrift of safety. Real Sociedad’s recent fixtures have consistently produced goals at both ends, with a 3-1 defeat to Villarreal, a 3-2 loss at Atletico Madrid, and a 3-3 draw against Real Oviedo all highlighting their open style. The 3-1 victory over Osasuna showed their attacking potential when rhythm clicks, while the 1-0 win at Mallorca demonstrated they can still manage tighter contests when required. Despite scoring regularly, defensive organisation remains a concern. Conceding 45 goals this season and allowing multiple goals in three of their last five matches underlines how easily games can become stretched. Their approach often involves pushing numbers forward, which increases attacking threat but leaves space in transition.
