Real Sociedad come into the match having picked up a point in a 1-1 draw at Real Madrid last weekend. It was a good result but Real Sociedad will believe they should have taken maximum points having conceded the equalising goal in the 89th minute.
Nonetheless, that result means Real Sociedad are undefeated in their last 3 matches in all competitions and have lost only one of their last 7 games.
The defeat came at home against Manchester United in the Europa League but the match was played in Turin due to COVID-19 restrictions.
In La Liga, Real Sociedad are on a run of 6 matches without defeat, including victories over Cadiz and Deportivo Alaves at home plus Getafe away.
Trends show there are no losses for Real Sociedad in 10 of their most recent 12 home games in all competitions and there have been over 2.5 goals in Real Sociedad's last 4 home matches.
Real Sociedad have seen over 2.5 goals in each of their last 3 home fixtures in La Liga and both teams have scored in 3 on their last 4 on home soil.
Levante come into the match following a 1-1 draw at home with Athletic Bilbao. Levante took the lead in the game but conceded an equaliser early in the second half. That result means Levante have lost only one of their last 14 games in all competitions and they have become a difficult team to beat.
During those 14 matches, Levante have defeated Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid away from home, so they will feel confident they can take something from this game.
Trends show Levante have scored 2 or more goals in their last 3 away La Liga games in a row.
In fact, they have scored at least one goal in their 10 most recent away clashes in all competitions. Both teams have found the back of the net in 6 of Levante’s 8 most recent away league matches.
Team news and Real Sociedad are without Mikel Merino who is suspended. They also have several players unavailable due to injury including Gaizka Ayesa, Aritz Elustondo, Joseba Zaldua, Miguel Angel Moya, Jon Pacheco, Alex Sola, and Luca Sangalli.
Levante travel without Ruben Vezo who is suspended. Enis Bardhi, Sergio Postigo, Nemanja Radoja, Gonzalo Melero, and José Campaña are all on the treatment table.
This should be an exciting game to watch and we expect to see both teams scoring goals. Levante have proven difficult to beat of late and it would not be a surprise to see them take a point from this game.
