Real Sociedad confidently passed the first rounds of the Spanish Cup, where it is a three-time winner of this trophy. If there were no problems with Zamora (3:0) and Panaderia (4:0), then the 1/16 final match against Leganes was not easy (3:2). The match with Atletico was a serious test for the Basques, but the royal was at its best in this duel too. The goals of Januzaj and Sorlot brought a dry victory to the representatives of San Sebastian. It is impossible not to remember that already this month the wards of Imanol Alguasil will continue their performances in the Europa League, where the team took second place in the group and will play against RB Leipzig. In the championship of Spain there are nine wins and seven peaceful outcomes on account of the “white-blue”, which brought 34 points and the sixth position in the standings. In January today’s hosts tied with Alaves (1:1), beat Celta (1:0) and shared the tournament points with Getafe (0:0). Barrenechea Murugusa, Montreal, Munoz, Subimendi and Fernandez, who has a cruciate ligament rupture, will not be able to play today.
Portland has its own problems. Damian Lillard is in the infirmary. The Pathfinders are trying to learn how to play without him. This helped some performers open up. One of those is Anferny Simons. It can already be safely called one of the leaders of the team. It is worth noting that the Trail Blazers are considered one of the weakest road teams in the league. They have only won seven matches this season. In the remaining 17 fights Chauncey Billups’ wards were defeated.
