Real Sociedad to move to the top of La Liga
3322

On Friday night, Real Sociedad have a golden opportunity to move to the top of La Liga, as they host rock-bottom Leganes at the Reale Arena.

The team from San Sebastian heads into the clash level on points with Spain’s big-two Barcelona and Real Madrid. A win would, temporarily anyway, put Imanol Alguacil’s team top of the pile in the Spanish top-flight.

A 2-1 victory at another surprise-package Granada last time out means that La Real have won three of their last four matches in the Spanish top-flight. The match was another high-scoring affair for Real Sociedad, as seven of their last eight matches in La Liga have produced over 2.5 goals.

La Real have won five of their last seven home games in the Spanish top-flight. However, two defeats in their previous three matches on home soil should ensure that they are not complacent heading into this clash with the bottom of the table team.

Real Sociedad have proven highly effective in attack at the Reale Arena of late, as they have scored at least twice in each of those recent five victories.

Leganes have punched above their weight in La Liga in recent years. However, the minnows have made a terrible start to the current campaign. The visitors are bottom of the Spanish top-flight table, having picked up just five points from 12 matches.

A 2-1 home defeat by Eibar last time out means that they have now suffered five defeats in their last six league matches. Leganes have the joint-worse defensive record in La Liga. The fact that they have conceded at least two goals in four of their last five league games has made a big contribution to that record.

Forebet predicts that Real Sociedad will record a victory in a high-scoring encounter to move to the top of the Spanish top-flight table.
