Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
Real Sociedad and Sevilla go head to head at Reale Arena on day 5 of the new La Liga campaign. La Real quickly bounced back from the day-one defeat to Barcelona, with the team beating all Rayo Vallecano, Levante, and Cadiz in the previous three league fixtures. The Basques aim to give fans yet another reason for celebration, but this match will be anything but a walk in the park for the hosts. All Monreal, Fernandez, Salguero, Illarramendi, and Guridi are sidelined with injuries, but Imanol Alguacil can count on key players for Sunday’s showdown.
A man to keep an eye on in the home team will be Imanol Alguacil, who scored a brace in the 2-0 win at Cadiz. Los Sevillanos made a promising start to the season as well, and given their attacking potential, we believe that there is a big value in betting on both teams to score. Julen Lopetegui should have a full squad to choose from as both Oliver Torres and Lucas Ocampos return to contention.
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.
