On Saturday evening, Real Sociedad will look to continue their unexpected title challenge as they travel to face Levante in La Liga.
Levante are enduring a difficult season in the Spanish top-flight, as they are currently 19th place in the table. A 1-0 defeat against Barcelona last time out means that the home side has won just one of their last ten matches in the Spanish top-flight.
However, the defeat against the Catalan giants also ended a six-game unbeaten run for Paco Lopez’s team in the Spanish top-flight. The problem is that five of the six matches finished in draws, so the results did little to lift the strugglers up the table.
Levante’s recent La Liga outings have been low-scoring, tight encounters, with under 2.5 goals scored in nine of their last ten outings.
Although home wins have been hard to come by for Levante of late, they are unbeaten in four matches in the Spanish top-flight.
Real Sociedad are joint-top of La Liga, level on points with both Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid.
Despite their high position in the table, La Real have failed to win in their last four games in the Spanish top-flight. On the flip-side, the defeat ended a nine-game unbeaten run in La Liga for the team from San Sebastian.
Like their opponents, Real Sociedad’s recent league games have been low-scoring, with under 2.5 matches scored in five of their last six matches.
Their recent away record is decent, as a 2-1 defeat at Barcelona in their last away match in La Liga ended a nine-game unbeaten run on their travels.
Their recent games on the road in the Spanish top-flight have been relatively high-scoring, with over 2.5 goals scored in four of their last six league games.
Forebet predicts that Real Sociedad will record a victory in a low-scoring outing to stay in touch with the two Madrid giants at the top.
