Real Sociedad’s impressive victory away to Barcelona on Saturday has left them in an excellent position in their battle to secure a spot in the group stage of the Champions League next season. Imanol Alguacil’s side recorded their 19th league-win of the season at Camp Nou last time out thanks to goals from Mikel Merino and Alexander Sorloth, while Robert Lewandowski’s late effort only proving to be a consolation for Xavi’s side, who won their 27th Spanish top flight title last weekend. Erreala have now extended their unbeaten run to six games in the league, while winning four matches in the process. Meanwhile, Real Sociedad have won four of their last five games at Reale Arena.
Almeria, on the other hand, have the second-worst away-record in the Spanish top flight this season, having recorded just one win front 17 outings, while picking up only seven points on the road. However, Rojiblancos have been impressive at home this term, picking up 32 points from a possible 54 . Last time, out, Rubi’s side secured their tenth home-win of the season against Mallorca courtesy of Lazaro’s hat-trick at Power Horse Stadium. Indalicos secured a return to La Liga by winning the Segunda Division last season and their primary aim would be to extend their stay in the top division to at least one more season. With two of their final three games to be played on the road, survival could become a bit complicated for Rubi’s side considering their poor away-record.
Real Sociedad probable starting lineup: Remiro, Elustondo, Zubeldia, Le Normand, Rico, Illarramendi, Merino, Zubimendi, Oyarzabal, Sorloth, Kubo
Almeria probable starting lineup: Martinez, Pozo, Ely, Babic, Centelles, Robertone, Costa, De la Hoz, Lazaro, Suarez, Embarba
