Real Sociedad had a strong start to the current season but has recently fallen out of contention for the top 4 in La Liga. Imanol Alguacil’s team has won only 1 of their last 7 matches in all competitions, suffering a 1-3 home defeat to Villarreal over the weekend. However, in the Spanish Cup, the San Sebasti?n team has been playing almost perfectly. Throughout the tournament, they eliminated modest opponents such as Andratx, Malaga, Osasuna, and Celta, conceding only 1 goal
With 24 points, Mallorca is currently in the 16th position in La Liga, but the 7-point gap from the relegation zone allows them not to worry about maintaining their place in the elite of Spanish football. Over the weekend, Javier Aguirre’s team played to a 1-1 draw away against Alaves. In the previous round, Mallorca produced the most significant upset by defeating Girona at home (3-2).
