After a 3-month hiatus, football returns to the North of the peninsula, the protagonists a Real Sociedad struggling to enter the Champions League and an Osasuna in the middle of the table without major goals from here to the end of the season.
The Real Sociedad de Imanol Alguacil will return to the Real Arena lawn without the possibility of stumbling, before the break he was 4th classified with the same points as a surprising Getafe and 1 point from Sevilla, including 3, Atlético de Madrid and Valencia there is a fierce fight to see that 2 teams will accompany Madrid and Barça in the next edition of the Champions League, so adding 3 to 3 is very important, the Basque team left the break in great shape, qualifying for the final of Cup and only falling in 1 of his last 8 games, it was at the Camp Nou against Barça and by a tight 1-0. To see Real’s great football again, it is essential that players like Mikel Merino, Martin Odegaard or Mikel Oyarzabal are at a good level, without those 3 players it would be very difficult to see Real fight for European positions.
Quite the opposite of his rival, one of the few teams that should not worry excessively these 11 remaining days is Osasuna, located in the middle of the table has Europe impossible, but his main objective has him quite on track, he is currently 9 points from relegation Therefore, a couple of victories would give him the mathematical salvation, he left the break with only 2 victories in his last 6 league games, losing the rest, but the last victory was very important, since it was imposed in a ” 6-point game “against Espanyol at Sadar, far from their stadium the Jagoba Arrasate team has struggled to get points regularly, for this clash Chimy Ávila will continue to be low and his team and fans miss him a lot.
A Real is not worth anything other than winning and more with the victory of Sevilla in the Derby, with those 3 points the team of Julen Lopetegui moves away 4 points from Real and Getafe, a Getafe that will have a difficult match this same night in the Nuevo Los Cármenes, therefore the txuri urdin team has the obligation to win in an empty Reale Arena, but which must continue to make a fortress against an opponent that has less at stake.
