Real Sociedad preview: Impressive La Real
Ever since the appointment of former Hoffenheim boss Pellegrino Matarazzo, Real Sociedad begin the match day sitting tucked inside the top seven and the European spots in La Liga.
La Real come into this one, though, on the back of a 3-1 defeat to Villarreal at El Madrigal in their most recent outing a couple of weeks ago before the March international break.
Levante preview: Improving Levante
They now face a Levante side that themselves have been improved since the appointment of former Nantes boss Luis Castro during the mid-season winter break, albeit the Valencians do remain destined for the drop.
Levante extended their unbeaten run of form to four matches as they entertainingly defeated rock-bottom Real Oviedo by four goals to two at Estadio Ciutat de Valencia a couple of weeks ago.
