Game Preview
La Liga 2023–24 is returning to play this weekend with a new set of games. On Saturday at the Estadio el Madrigal, Villarreal will square off against a powerful Real Sociedad team.
On Wednesday night, Real Sociedad participated in Copa del Rey play. They defeated Andratx 1-0 to guarantee their place in the competition’s third round, with Andre Silva scoring the game’s lone goal. The Basques, who had 26 points after the initial 15 games of the season, were beaten to a 1-1 tie by Osasuna the previous weekend in La Liga. Despite this setback, the Basques remain 6th in the standings. This season, Imanol Alguacil’s team has won 7, drawn 5, and dropped 3 of their La Liga games. As a result, they are now two points below Athletic Bilbao in 5th place and 5 below Atletico Madrid in 4th place. Real Sociedad has already advanced to the Champions League knockout stage. They will play Inter Milan in Italy the following week to decide who wins the group.
Marcelino’s reappointment as Villarreal’s head coach in mid-November has been a success so far. Under his leadership, the Yellow Submarines have gone undefeated in 5 matches, earning ties in their previous two matches against Maccabi Haifa and Sevilla. With 4 triumphs, 4 ties, and 7 losses from their 15 games so far, the Castellon-based team has found it difficult to make an impression in La Liga. With 16 points, they are now ranked 12th in the standings. Although they are currently 15 points behind 4th-place Atletico Madrid within La Liga, their performance has declined for a squad that placed 5th last year. However, they have gained 4 points from their previous two La Liga games, including a 1-1 tie with Sevilla the previous weekend. The Yellow Submarines are now in second place within their Europa League group, a couple of points below leaders Rennes, ahead of their match in France the following week. The winner of that match will determine first place in the group and an automatic position in the European competition’s next round.
