Real Sociedad vs Levante UD 25 October 2026 Prediction

Real Sociedad have moved close to the Champions League places after a strong run in La Liga. They host Levante on matchday 10. The visitors have climbed into midtable after ending a five-game winless streak, but Real Sociedad have kept clean sheets in their last three home meetings with them.

Real Sociedad Is Winning Despite Defensive Issues

Real Sociedad’s attack has improved under manager Pellegrino Matarazzo, though the defense remains vulnerable. They have won four of their last five La Liga games, beating Valencia, Deportivo, and Elche by identical 3-2 scores. They also defeated Málaga 5-2. Real Sociedad have conceded at least twice in five straight league games, while a 3-0 loss to Atlético showed what can happen when their attack cannot make up for defensive mistakes.

Real Sociedad are also playing in the Europa League. They won 6-0 away to Lillestrøm on Thursday, although the hosts missed a penalty. The trip to Norway leaves little recovery time before the Levante game, Real Sociedad’s fourth match in less than two weeks.

Levante Struggles Away From Home

Levante beat Athletic Club 3-1 on Wednesday in a rescheduled matchday-six fixture, ending a five-game league winless streak. The result lifted them to 11th place with 10 points ahead of matchday 10, but their defensive problems persist. They have conceded 17 goals in nine La Liga games, including at least two in three of their last five.

Levante have not won any of their five league away games, drawing three and losing two. They have scored just twice on the road. Forward Etta Eyong returned from injury as a substitute against Athletic Club and scored, giving manager Luís Castro another attacking option.

Real Sociedad vs Levante Prediction: Real Sociedad Handicap -1.5

Main prediction: Real Sociedad are unbeaten in five games across all competitions. Their last two wins were a 5-2 victory over Málaga and Thursday’s 6-0 Europa League win at Lillestrøm. Levante have yet to win away in the league, and both of their road defeats came by at least two goals. Mikel Oyarzabal also enters in good form: he scored twice against Málaga and assisted three goals against Lillestrøm. The pick is Real Sociedad -1.5 at 2.53.

Goals prediction: Levante have scored only twice in five La Liga away games. They produced 0.45 expected goals against Villarreal and 0.79 against Deportivo, and failed to score against Málaga, Osasuna, or Espanyol. Given their limited away attack, the pick is Both Teams to Score: No at 2.25.
