Context & news

Real Sociedad can establish its game at home and use its passing patterns: LaLiga credits it with 72 shots and 3 622 passes, compared with 65 shots and 2 633 passes for Levante, over the period shown. It has also scored 12 goals after eight matches according to LaLiga.

Conversely, the European schedule may reduce its intensity and open up spaces. Levante can then attack those spaces quickly, with R. Brugué the team's displayed top scorer with three goals and I. Romero leading the shots with seven.

Its other scenario is less favorable: with 15 goals conceded according to LaLiga and two recent high-scoring draws, its défense may not protect a lead for long.
