Sociedad – Levante

Friday Night Primera Division football, with Real Sociedad hosting Levante in the first game of the 35th round.

Sociedad is coming after a 1-1 draw at Athletic Bilbao. A good result, but Sociedad keeps on failing to win … hosts have 4 draws and 2 losses in the last 6 matches. They had some matches they really should have won like vs. Deportivo or vs. Elche, but Moyes’ side seems to lack that killer instinct at the moment and is not consistent either on offense or defense. Hosts will hope the improvement showed last week vs. Bilbao will translate into today’s game, a game that on paper they should win. Mikel Gonzalez is suspended today … but there are no other missing players for the team of David Moyes.

Key 1-0 wins over Getafe and Cordoba helped Levante to climb 6 points over the relegation zone … looking really likely to stay in Primera Division next year. The wins were not pretty, the level of football was not great, but Levante will take it, that’s for sure. Visitors will try to improve on their dysmal away record, which includes 8 losses in the last 10 matches in all competitions. Pape Diop is the only absentee for Levante ahead of this game.

Levante is the more motivated team and posted better recent results than Sociedad, but I still think the hosts have this covered … results are a bit misleading, Levante is not playing great and Sociedad is not playing bad. Hosts are healthy, are really due a win and I feel they will make the most of the home court advantage today … they are a really good team at home (unbeaten since January, won 15 of last 21 points), while Levante is struggling on the road. My tip will be Real Sociedad win. Correct score prediction: Real Sociedad – Levante 1-0.
