This is the 24th round of the Spanish La Liga where Real Sociedad will be facing Leganes at the Anoeta Stadium. For this clash the visitors Leganes will have a very difficult match in front of the Basque fans. Both teams are currently in relatively good form, especially the guest, Leganes. One more thing, the distance to the top 6 at this time is not too far and the two sides will have to play really determined if they want to raise the hope to book a ticket to attend the European arena next season. Victory is what both Host and guests want but to do that requires them to play with more than 100% of their abilities if they do not want to be a stepping stone to the rest of the team.
REAL SOCIEDAD
The host Real Sociedad is currently in 9th position on the league standings after having managed to accumulate 31 points so far since the campaign kick start, with 8 wins, 7 draws and 8 defeats. With an home advantage at Anoeta Stadium, the host Real Sociedad will surely be motivated to get the much needed 3 points here. Alguacil Barrenetxea's current form is also relatively stable as they have been unbeaten in the last 8 consecutive matches in every arena. The head-to-head record is also completely tilted towards the home team, as they managed to win 4 of their last 5 encounters against Leganes.
LEGANES
The visitors Leganes are currently in 11th position on the league rankings with 29 points after 7 wins, 8 draws and 8 defeats, since the start of the season. The visitors Leganes has also showed how well they have improved of recent since their defeat to the Catalan Giant Barcelona. Mauricio Pellegrino's team have not lost their last 3 games, even in the last 2 rounds they won all 3 points against Rayo Vallecano and Real Betis. Sociedad's home run in this match is more or less unsettling for club fans, and with Leganes recent performance, they will make them work hard to get a point. On the other hand, if the opportunities are well exploited, the team can hope for a beneficial result against Sociedad in the coming time. Another victory, they will rise above Sociedad and full of opportunities to step into the top 6 La liga this season.
PRE-MATCH FACT
- There have been over 2.5 goals scored in Leganes's last 4games in La Liga.
- Real Sociedad are undefeated in their last 6 matches in La Liga.
- Leganes have scored at least 2 goals in their last 3 matches La Liga.
PREDICTION
The host Real Sociedad are favorite to win this tie at home. However, the guest Leganes are also in a good shape and I expect difficult game for Real Sociedad at Anoeta. The both teams are well known to be playing an attacking football and I believe there will be huge chance of both teams having a chance to score with a lot of attacking opportunities.
