Levante vs Real Sociedad: Lineups, Predictions & Betting Tips

A battle at the bottom of the the Spanish Laliga table takes place on Saturday afternoon as bottom of the table Levante host struggling and underperforming Real Sociedad, with both sides in strong need of victory.

Levante, the home side, find themselves at the foot of the table on 9 points with just two wins all season.

The side from the city of Valencia, who often find themselves in the shadow of their city rivals, have lost the last five games in the league, including a late derby defeat ot Valencia. And lost their sixth in a row in all competitions by losing 1-0 in the Copa Del Rey to lower league Cultural Leonesa.

However, it may not be hopeless quite yet. As the gap to Valencia in 17th remains six points, and with Levante holding a game in hand if the side can find form the great escape could potentially be on the cards.

Standing in their way is Real Socidead, who just like Levante are not in great form with just one win in their last five.
