Real Sociedad is preparing to host Levante on the tenth matchday of LaLiga, with the intention of adding three points at home and maintaining its position in the European zone. The match, scheduled at 6:30 p.m. at the Anoeta, comes at a time when the San Sebastian team is on a streak of five games without losing, with four wins and one draw, and they have scored eleven goals in their last two games. With 16 points, they occupy fifth position and seek to consolidate their fight for European qualification.
Levante, for its part, arrives with a streak of three days without losing after the 3-1 victory over Athletic Club, but is still without victory in Valencian territory, with three draws and two defeats in its five trips. The granotas have 10 points and are looking to break their bad streak in Anoeta, where the team has lost its last three visits and has not scored a goal in them. The last match at that stadium, on April 4, 2026, ended with a 2‑0 victory for Real Sociedad thanks to goals from Jon Martín and Brais Méndez.
Regarding the lineup, Real Sociedad will have the availability of Jon Mikel Aramburu and Yangel Herrera, who have overcome muscle problems. Coach Pellegrino Matarazzo, who was satisfied with his team's good form, stressed the need to maintain concentration and take advantage of the support of the fans. At the same time, Levante will have Hugo Sotelo on the squad list after recovering from a knee injury, although his return to the competition will be progressive. Coach Luís Castro regretted the absence of center back Adrián de la Fuente and midfielder Enzo Bardeli, both injured.
Referee Javier Alberola Rojas, with previous experience in the Copa del Rey final that Real Sociedad won in April 2026, will be in charge of directing the match, assisted by VAR Guillermo Cuadra Fernández. The match promises to be a duel of teams with good feelings, where Real Sociedad seeks to prolong its goal celebration and Levante tries to surprise in its first home game of the season. With the next derby matchday just around the corner, both teams are motivated to get the three points that will allow them to face the commitments that await them.
