Real Sociedad keeps surprising. Can the Basques in their own Anoeta Villarreal also bind to the chariot?
Real Sociedad
Defensive not score often, but when he does it is usually an instant gem. Last week, visiting the always tricky Espanyol, he pegelde Real Sociedad to a hard-fought 1-2 victory. Thanks to these three points the Basques remain in the wake of the top four.
It is clear that Real Sociedad is having a great season. It sounds unbelievable to, but purely looking at the last four months the blue whites kept pace with FC Barcelona and Real Madrid and it took even more points than clubs like Sevilla and Atletico Madrid. Not only in terms of results, the team of coach Eusebio can join the absolute top, also in terms of field play do the blue-whites are not among the very greatest of the country. Visiting La Real had at Espanyol whopping 62 percent of the ball and knew to put continuous pressure on the home team.
The big question is of course whether Real Sociedad managed to maintain this great form. That anyway is going to be difficult because the Basques can not count the period ahead on the injured top scorer Willian José. The wing tips Oyarzabal and Vela are naturally not real killers, so in terms of goal production are the blue whites are especially dependent on Juanmi. The attacker had mainly to do it this season with raid turns as glorified tip, but now finally gets his chance as a central striker. With an average of a goal every 163 minutes (six goals in 980 minutes) it is anyway the most efficient striker of Real Sociedad.
Probable lineup Real Sociedad
Rulli; Yuri, Inigo Martinez, Navas, Odriozola; Zurutuza, Illarramendi, Prieto; Oyarzabal, Juanmi, Vela
Villarreal
Villarreal had a week to forget. Last weekend, the yellow shirts at home against Malaga low kite got no further than a draw Thursday night and they were really to see all corners of the own Madrigal in the humiliating 0-4 defeat by AS Roma in the Europa League. “We have been very hard on along,” said Spanish international Mario. With only one victory has not yet introduced in 2017 in the last ten official matches where Villarreal had hoped for. Around New Year El Submarino Amarillo seemed well on the way to the Champions League, but currently depends qualification for European football by a thread.
Villarreal takes for a meter, which is mainly due to the lack of scoring ability. With only 29 goals in 22 rounds of play, it is a miracle that the club anyway stands in sixth place. With only fifteen matches against the admittedly has the least passed rearguard of the Primera Division, had the Villarreal rearguard last Thursday a complete off-day. Given the lousy performance of recent weeks, the pressure on coach Fran Escriba more and more, but the coach does not want to think about a possible resignation: “We must turn the page and we again focus on the league.” In view of the fact that Villarreal has only had two days of rest the chance of rotations is high. So it is difficult to say who will actually start in the base.
Probable lineup Villarreal
Asenjo; Jose Angel, Victor Ruiz, Musacchio, Mario; Castillejo, Trigueros, Bruno Soriano, Cheryshev; Bakambu, Adrian
