Real Sociedad vs Leganés Preview and Team News
Real Sociedad Team News
While Real Sociedad have struggled to make an impact in La Liga this season, their European campaign in the Europa League has been encouraging. After a 2-1 victory over Danish side Midtjylland in Denmark, the Spanish club qualified for the European RO16.
They thrashed the Danes in San Sebastián (5-2). Four different players scored for the team, all of them either attackers or attacking midfielders. The victory was crucial for the squad, given that they are eleventh and still have all the chances to qualify for European spots.

Despite their good run this month, Real Sociedad lost a vital game against Betis (3-0), ending with two players sent off.
Luka Sučić, their most significant signing this season, has been the standout player recently. His ball-striking ability has led to some stunning goals, which was much needed considering Real Sociedad usually score slower. This has been particularly valuable against compact defenses, where the Spanish team previously hesitated to shoot.

However, Sučić suffered a knock and had to leave the pitch in the 48th minute. Although the injury is not serious, he’s expected to miss the encounter against Leganés. Hamari Traoré and Jon Pacheco will also miss out due to injuries, while Igor Zubeldia and Sheraldo Becker are suspended for the event.
Real Sociedad predicted lineup vs Leganés (4-4-2): Remiro; Muñoz, Aguerd, Elustondo, Aramburu; Gómez, Marin, Zubimendi, Kubo; Oyarzabal, Méndez.
Leganés Team News
Leganés played out a 3-3 draw with Alavés, a result that benefited neither side. The team sit in 16th place with 24 points, only one point above the relegation zone.
The match against the Basque squad reignited controversy over VAR decisions, with two penalties given for Leganés, while Alavés also converted one penalty. However, a penalty not awarded to the Leganés led to outrage among fans at El Butarque. Questionable offside calls relaunched discussions about referees in La Liga.

Leganés dominated the game and created chances but were unable to convert them, with the tension becoming noticeable in the last minutes. Munir was sent off for violent conduct near the end. They were trailing by a goal until Munir equalized in the 88th minute.
Besides Munir, who is suspended for the match, Leganés will have to do without Borna Barišić, despite only signing a few weeks ago. He suffered an ACL injury just seven minutes into his debut, which rules him out until the end of the season. Enric Franquesa will also be sidelined because of an injury.
Leganés predicted line-up vs Real Sociedad(3-4-3): Dmitrović; Hernández, Nastasić, González; Rosier, Cisse, Tapia, Cruz; Brašanac, Raba, Garcia.
Bet hereReal Sociedad vs Leganés Prediction
- Prediction: Real Sociedad to win
- Odds: 3.76 (22Bet)
- Score Prediction: Leganés 1-2 Real Sociedad
Despite missing two players due to suspension, Real Sociedad are still expected to triumph, given that the guests remain winless in five games. They were eliminated from the Copa del Rey, as Real Madrid defeated Leganés 3-2. The 3-3 draw against Alavés exposed defensive frailties that still need addressing, and playing without Munir means they’ll be deprived of their best attacker.
Real Sociedad have now qualified for the next round of the Europa League. Chances are they’ll increase focus on the league to secure European qualification for next season.
Real Sociedad vs Leganés Betting Tip
- Pick: Under 3 goals
- Odds: 1.25 (22Bet)
Leganés prided themselves on defensive solidity early in the term, which allowed them to clear out relegation worries. However, their composure has waned in recent weeks, resulting in concerns about the team’s survival in La Liga. On the other hand, Real Sociedad often struggle in attack due to the absence of a reliable goalscorer.
