Real Sociedad will be looking to recover from a 3-0 loss to Real Betis when they face Leganes on Sunday evening. La Real were not capable of matching los Beticos following Igor Zubeldia’s early sending-off, but they are seen as hot favourites to beat Leganes in San Sebastian. Zubeldia is banned for the round 25 clash as well as Sheraldo Becker, while Hamari Traore remains on the sidelines with injury.
The capital club, on the other hand, played out a thrilling 3-3 draw with Alaves at the weekend. Leganes are eager to escape the danger zone, but given their negative record at Reale Arena, home win should be considered. To make things even worse for the away team, former Barcelona man Munir El Haddadi misses the trip to the Basque Country through suspension. Cameroon international Yvan Neyou, though, is back after serving his one-game ban against Alaves.
Highlighted Player (Mikel Oyarzabal):
Intelligence is not an attribute you will find in Mikel Oyarzabal’s stats with Real Sociedad but this tricky winger is a highly knowledgeable winger who will use both brain and feet while playing. For a player born in Eibar, who made his first steps in his hometown club, it was always going to be a choice between Athletic Bilbao and Real Sociedad for Oyarzabal.
La Real saw their chance and grabbed this gem of a player at a young age, helping him develop into a proper professional throughout their youth ranks. Mikel Oyarzabal has spent the entirety of his senior career with the Basque behemoths where he’d use his ability to fill in a number of positions up top much to his own benefit.
Oyarzabal’s positioning and movement are work of a tactical genius, whereas it is his nous to find details to exploit that best define him as a player. Having come through the youth categories of the Spanish national team, Oyarzabal also has a senior cap next to his name. It was in 2016 that he also represented the Basque region, scoring on his debut to cap a 3-1 win over Tunisia.
