The 2024-25 edition of La Liga is back in action with another set of matches this weekend as Leganes lock horns with an impressive Real Sociedad side in an important clash at the Estadio Municipal de Butarque on Sunday. Both teams have been in poor form this season and have a point to prove in this game.
Leganes vs Real Sociedad Preview
Leganes are currently in 15th place in the La Liga standings and have not been at their best so far this season. The home side defeated Estepona on penalties in the Copa del Rey this week and will need to bounce back in this match.
Real Sociedad, on the other hand, are in ninth place in the league table at the moment and have been inconsistent over the past year. La Real edged Conquense to a narrow 1-0 victory in the Copa del Rey in their previous game and will look to achieve a similar result this weekend.

Leganes vs Real Sociedad Prediction
Real Sociedad can pack a punch on their day but have largely flattered to deceive so far this season. Mikel Oyarzabal and Takefusa Kubo can be lethal on their day and will look to make their mark this weekend.
