Levante vs Real Sociedad Prediction & Betting Tips (20 December)

Just promoted after two seasons spent at the lower level, Levante occupies last place in the standings with 9 small points and above all the 2nd worst defense in the championship with 28 goals conceded in 15 matches. In La Liga, the Granotes remain on 5 successive defeats against Osasuna 2-0, Athletic Bilbao 0-2, Valencia 1-0, Atlético Madrid 3-1 and Celta Vigo 1-2. Last weekend, the match against Villarreal was postponed due to weather conditions. This week, Levante faced 2nd division side Cultura Leonesa in a Copa del Rey 1/16 final and the Valencia-based club was eliminated by the narrowest of margins 1-0. Real Sociedad is clearly not meeting the expectations placed on it this season.

Already in limbo last season, they find themselves in 15th place in La Liga, only a small point ahead of Girona in 18th. It must be said that the results are alarming for the Basques who have been defeated three times in their last three matches in the elite, against Villarreal 2-3, Alaves 1-0 and last weekend for the reception of Girona in person, in a poster chopping the bottom of the table 1-2. This week, Ion Ansotegi's men beat Eldense in the 1/16 final of the Copa del Rey 1-2. 

Victim of a major injury, Elgezabal will not take part in this meeting, along with de la Fuente, striker Espi, Pablo Martinez (1 assist in La Liga) and Matias Moreno. This week, in the Copa del Rey, boys like Victor Garcia and the often used striker Roger Brugué were not called up, probably to preserve them. Having left to play the CAN with Cameroon, Etta Eyong (6 goals in La Liga) will be terribly missed in the offensive sector. Ivan Romero (4 goals in La Liga) will try to support him in the same best way in his absence. Starting against Eldense in the Copa del Rey, the starting full-back Jon Aramburu was not spared since the latter will miss this last meeting of the year due to a suspension for an accumulation of yellow cards. Physically short following his return from injury, captain and emblematic Mikel Oyarzabal (5 goals, 3 assists in La Liga) did not leave the bench against Eldense this week but he could play a few minutes this afternoon.

This will not be the case for Ruperez, Oskarsson, Tricolore Lebarbier, Venezuelan international Yangel Herrera and Beitia, all on the flank (injured).Probable lineups for Levante - Real Sociedad:Levante: Ryan (or Cunat) - Toljan, Cabello (or de la Fuente), Matturro, Sanchez - Alvarez, Arriaga, Vencedor, Losada (or Brugué) - Koyalipou, I.Romero.Real Sociedad: Remiro - Elustondo, Martin, Zubeldia, Gomez - Gorrotxategi - Kubo, Mendez, Soler, Barrenetxea - Oyarzabal (Guedes).
