On Matchday 10 of La Liga, Real Sociedad will face Sevilla at the Anoeta Stadium in San Sebastián on Friday. Here’s a look at what to expect from this match.
Match Preview
Real Sociedad is struggling, as recent performances indicate. Last weekend, they narrowly secured a draw against Celta, who are also having a tough season. Currently, Sociedad finds themselves in the relegation zone, which raises concerns about their standing. Although their home performance is slightly better, finishing remains an issue.
Scoring has been a significant challenge for the team, as they often struggle to net more than one goal and frequently concede. Missing several key players has compounded their difficulties, making every point crucial for their survival.
On the other hand, Sevilla have turned their season around, recently showing improved form and moving up the league table. They have been playing effective, attacking football and generally perform well on the road. Despite a surprising defeat to Mallorca at home in their last match, their overall play has been promising.
Sevilla’s offensive capabilities are noteworthy, with a string of high-scoring games and a good number of chances created in recent matches. Given the inconsistency of their hosts, Sevilla has a strong opportunity to secure points and aim for European competition.
