Levante are looking to save their season and with four matches to play, they will be eyeing three points when they host Real Sociedad in their next league game. Levante are bottom of the La Liga standings, with 26 points while Sociedad are sixth with 56 points. Levante go into this game six points below the safety line and they have the fewest wins so far this season, a highlight of their struggles. With just five wins all season, Levante need a lot of improvement in the remaining four matches. In their last game they had to come from down against a 10-man Valencia, to register a 1-1 draw with a late goal. One thing about Levante is that though they have just one clean sheet in five, they have scored two or more goals in four of the five. They’ve scored in all the last five matches, three of them producing over 2.5 goals while both sides have scored in the last four. Jose Luis Morales has scored four for Levante in the last five matches.
Real Sociedad are winless in their last three matches. They come into this game having drawn with Rayo Vallecano in the last game, a clash they should have won but allowed Radamel Falcao to sneak in a late goal that saw the game end 1-1. That came after failing to score in the earlier two matches. Only one of their last five matches has produced over 2.5 goals, while Sociedad have two clean sheets in five. They’ve scored more than a goal in just one of the last five matches and away from home, they have two wins in five matches with both teams scoring in three of those five matches. With two straight wins against Levante in earlier meetings, Sociedad will feel capable of downing their opponents here. A loss, they know, will spell doom to their top four ambitions.
Real Sociedad are eyeing a top four slot while Levante need points for survival. Both teams have a lot to play for so we expect end-to-end action. These two haven’t shown signs of struggling in attack; the bigger worries should be in defence, and we are backing both teams to score.
