Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
Real Sociedad were on the verge of beating Real Madrid in Valdebebas on Monday evening, but Carlos Vinicius eventually scored a late equalizer in the La Liga derby. La Real aim to return to winning ways as soon as possible, and we are positive that they will go all guns blazing at Levante. Merino returns from suspension, and it has to be noted that boss Imanol Alguacil can count on key players for Sunday’s clash.
Levante, on the other hand, played out a 1-1 draw with Athletic Club at the weekend, with the team extending their unbeaten run in La Liga to three games. Anyhow, home win should be considered as David Silva has been producing fine displays for Real Sociedad ever since he recovered from a long-term injury. Ruben Vezo is back from suspension for the visitors.
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.
