Levante vs Real Sociedad: The Midfield Mismatch in Valencia

Here's the thing: Real Sociedad's midfield, with Mikel Merino pulling strings, is a different animal from what Levante brings to the table. Merino’s 7.2 rating for the season, according to SofaScore, highlights his consistent influence. Levante, meanwhile, has been limping along, dropping points in four of their last five matches, including a 3-1 loss to Espanyol last week. They just don't have the creative spark or defensive solidity to hang with a top-half La Liga side.

Sociedad, despite their own patchy form recently – drawing three of their last five – still possesses too much quality. David Silva, even at 36, can still unlock defenses, and he'll find space against Levante's often-disorganized backline. I'm picking Real Sociedad to win this one comfortably.

Prediction: Real Sociedad 2, Levante 0
