My Prediction
Real Sociedad by 2Well for goodness sake, can someone please dust off the field? I've seen more goal action in a snail race than with these two teams lately. Pop up your umbrellas everyone because we've got a goalkeeper rainstorm between Real Sociedad's Alex Remiro and Leganés' Marko Dmitrović. There might be more saves here than in a bargain grocery store.
For Leganés, they're counting on folks like Dani Raba who, with a 7.32 rating and 2 goals, is hardly lounging around. Valentin Rosier with an 81.4 percent accurate pass rate and 7.25 rating isn't a slouch either. Don't even get me started on Yvan Neyou, another passing maestro with an 88 percent accurate pass rate and 7.07 rating.
Meanwhile, Real Sociedad's Nayef Aguerd is like an immovable object with a 7.10 rating and an 85.1 percent accurate pass rate. Mix in the pesky Sheraldo Becker, who's already finding the net this season, and Leganés defenders might as well pack earmuffs for all the buzzing they're going to experience.
Previous matchups? If memory serves, and it usually does, Real Sociedad left Leganés in the dust with a 3-0 victory last time. The season records tell a similar story - Sociedad is playing like they actually want to win, unlike Leganés, whose recent results look more like the scribblings of a bored toddler.
If you're thinking this might go any other way than the stats suggest, I have a beachfront property in Kansas I'd like to sell you. After careful consideration, and possibly too much coffee...
