Leganes hosts Real Sociedad in the Spanish Copa del Rey 1/16 finals. The match will be played on Wednesday, January 5th at Estadio Municipal de Butarque (Leganes)
In 2020, Leganes left the top division of Spain after a couple of years spent there. And the Cucumber Growers almost came back from the very outset: they ended the regular season in third place, but the playoffs were unsuccessful for them. It looks like that misfire has knocked Leganes down. Even after changing a coach (now Mehdi Nafti is working here), the team continues to be in a lower part of the Segunda standings, and the gap from the relegation zone is not so large. On the other hand, the Tunisian managed still managed to make some progress. In particular, both previous matches in the Copa del Rey were won.

Real Sociedad is a fairly strong and ambitious team. By the way, the brightest success of recent years was achieved just in the cup. In the long-suffering Copa del Rey draw of the 2018/2019 season (the final was played only last spring), the men of Imanol Alguacil gained a tough victory over Athletic Bilbao. In the current season, the White and Blues are playing in the Europa League, and their results are not bad. They made it to the playoffs, where they will play against RB Leipzig. Not everything is completely lost in LaLiga. Yes, after a great start, Real Sociedad expectedly slowed down by the end of autumn, showing an unpleasant streak of defeats. But the instability of the usual favorites, Atletico Madrid and Barcelona, gives chances to ambitious average performers, including the representative of San Sebastian. However, Real Sociedad started their performance in 2022 only with a draw against the weak Alaves, which is in the relegation zone.
After eight head-to-head matches, Real Sociedad has a minimal advantage: three victories versus two. Moreover, the White and Blues gained the only away victory in the first game. Then the home side never lost again. Now Real Sociedad must win to regain self-confidence. Let's believe that the guests from San Sebastian will manage to gain victory in regulation time.
Prediction for the match: Real Sociedad to win
