Real Sociedad got off to a strong start in the new season, but the team didn’t last long. The Basques failed to please with performances in the Super Cup and the Spanish Cup, where the “royal” traditionally performed successfully. The White-and-Blues knocked out Samora (3:0), Panaderia (4:0) and Leganes (3:2) at the start of the championship, after which they left the reigning champion of the country out of work. A duel with Atletico they won with a score of 2:0. In the quarterfinals, the team ended their performance after losing to today’s opponent. In the La Liga tournament Imanol Alguasil’s wards have 15 wins and nine peaceful outcomes after the 31st round, which brought 54 points and sixth place in the standings. In the last two rounds the hosts have been successful with Espanyol (1:0) and Elche (2:1). Montreal, Oyarzabal, Barrenechea Murugusa and Fernandez, who has a cruciate ligament rupture, will not be able to play today.
For Genoa the season began extremely difficultly. The Genoese regularly lost points and immediately found themselves in the relegation zone. During the first round, there was no particular progress in the team’s game and the management decided to invite Andriy Shevchenko, who also did not live up to expectations. At the moment, Alexander Blessin is working with the team, under whose leadership some progress has been made. Lately, the Griffins have started to take points more often and have decided on a style. The emphasis is mainly on defense. At the same time, despite a number of high-quality fights, it is not possible to break out of the relegation zone. So far, Genoa is penultimate in the table, but only three points separate the club from the saving 17th line. More today’s match prediction can be obtained from the link provided.
