REAL SOCIEDAD VS LEGANES PREVIEW & PREDICTION
The Basque side leaves as a favorite due to the collective and offensive potential it has, which has remained despite the departure of coach Eusebio. For this reason and knowing that the club has won its last 3 matches at Anoeta, we believe it has what it takes to extend this positive streak. Remember that the “pepineros” usually lower their level as visitors, costing them to defend well in punctual plays.
Real Sociedad:
The Basques lost 1-0 to Sevilla in the Sánchez Pizjuán, staying with 46 points in the general standings. They have alternated victories and defeats in their last 5 presentations, proving to be a competitive but irregular team at the time of scoring. With no chance of qualifying for the next Europa League, the goal of the squad is to close the season in a positive way and win the two remaining games.
As a local in Anoeta, the Real Sociedad has alternated victories and defeats, costing it to be balanced between the lines (powerful attack and unconvincing defense after winning 9 matches, matching 3 and losing the remaining 6 that it played). Their last home games were the following: Victory 2-1 against Alavés, defeat 1-2 against Getafe, victory 5-0 against Girona, triumph 3-0 against Atlético de Madrid and victory 3-1 against Athletic Bilbao in the classic.
Leganés:
The “pepineros” lost 0-3 against Levante as local, staying with 40 points in the general table. The team has added 4 games without winning, product of 1 draw and 3 losses, lowering its level in recent weeks. Its objective is to close the championship in a dignified manner and not receive more goals. In addition it has been a tactical and uncomfortable eleven throughout the championship, its objective being to recover that balance.
Outside of Butarque, Leganés has obtained little encouraging markers for his interests, costing him to be solid in defense despite being combative in this condition (3 wins, 3 draws and 12 trips, scoring only 13 goals and conceding 29 on his fence). It comes from losing 4-0 against Atlético de Madrid, falling 2-0 with Athletic Bilbao, stumbling 3-1 with Barcelona, losing 2-1 to Villarreal and losing 2-1 to Real Madrid.
Amvos teams faced a time ago in Butarque and the result was favorable for Leganés (1-0 in January 2018). In Anoeta, they equaled 1-1 in April of last year.
PREDICTION: Real Sociedad to win @ 1.42
