At the Estadio Ciutat de València on 20 December 2025, Levante host Real Sociedad in a La Liga fixture that brings together two sides in crisis, each searching for a way to halt a damaging downward spiral.
Prediction: Double Chance – Real Sociedad or Draw
This matchup favours the visitors avoiding defeat rather than delivering a dominant performance. Levante’s ongoing collapse and severe defensive problems at home suggest that even a struggling Real Sociedad side should be capable of taking something from this game.
Levante Deep in Trouble at the Bottom
Levante arrive rooted to the bottom of the table after a run of five consecutive league defeats. Their momentum has completely evaporated, and the postponement of their last match against Villarreal only delayed rather than eased the pressure. Home form has been particularly alarming, with just one draw from six matches at the Ciutat de València. Even more concerning is the defensive record, as Levante have conceded at least two goals in every one of those home fixtures, underlining a back line unable to cope with sustained pressure or recover from setbacks.
Real Sociedad Reeling After Coaching Change
Real Sociedad also enter the match in a difficult moment, having lost three consecutive La Liga games, the latest a 2-1 home defeat to Girona. That result proved decisive, leading to the dismissal of head coach Sergio Francisco. The uncertainty surrounding the coaching situation adds tension, although the players managed to respond midweek with a 2-1 away victory over Eldense in the cup, secured by a late goal. While league form remains poor, that win may offer a small psychological lift ahead of this visit.
