MADRID, 27 Oct. (EUROPA PRESS) –
The Real Sociedad will defend this Thursday its status as leader of LaLiga Santander in its visit to a lively Celta, while in the Nuevo Los Cármenes Granada will want to take advantage of a Getafe ‘hit’ to get out of the relegation, in matches corresponding to the eleventh day of the championship.
At the Balaídos Stadium (7:00 p.m.), Real Sociedad will seek to maintain its good start to the season to continue at the top of the standings without depending on the results of Real Madrid and Seville against a Celta that aims to leave the tournament as soon as possible. danger zone.
The team that Eduardo Coudet trains comes to this meeting relieved after his overwhelming and authoritarian victory last Monday in Getafe (0-3), where he left a good image that he will try to extend against one of the strongest rivals of this first stretch of the campaign to begin to have continuity with his fans.
Despite the victory, Celta, with 10 points, continues to flirt with the relegation places, which are only three points behind, so they cannot celebrate too much and must focus on becoming strong in Balaídos where they have lost four of their five games if you want to avoid problems as soon as possible.
Coudet does not plan to overturn the eleven that worked well for him at the Coliseum, although he already has at his disposal an important player such as the Peruvian Renato Tapia, who could return to the eleven in place of Fran Beltrán, while Cervi could enter through Nolito to refresh an offensive network that did damage on Monday and that will have an examination against a rival defense that does not concede too much.
For its part, Real Sociedad faces its third consecutive game outside of San Sebastián. After winning in Austria in the Europa League (0-1), the Gipuzkoan team was close to hitting the table at the Wanda Metropolitano, but could not hold an optimal 0-2 and in the end they could only take a point that kept in the lead.
Imanol Alguacil’s team continues to leave a feeling of solidity in this first stretch of the campaign and will be planted in Balaídos where it has not lost in its last five visits, with three wins, including last year’s win (1-4), and two draws, and after 13 games in a row without losing.
The realist coach still cannot count on Mikel Oyarzabal, whom he hopes to recover for the always important derby on Sunday in San Mamés and has to decide whether to bet again on the Isak-Sorloth couple above, who gave him such a good result against Atlético , or leave one of the two up alone and join the bands to Portu and Januzaj.
THE GETAFE SEEKS TO REACT IN GRANADA
In the Nuevo Los Cármenes (8:00 p.m.) there will be a direct duel in the relegation zone of the classification between a Granada, the third to last, that tries to improve and a Getafe that the arrival that Quique Sánchez Flores has not yet given results and that continues bottom.
The game will measure two teams that have not started very well and that are currently in dangerous positions and that are in emergencies, but with different sensations. Robert Moreno’s team saved a point in extremis at El Sadar last day and in their last home game they were able to beat the powerful Sevilla (1-0), while the ‘azulón’ has clearly lost to Celta (0-3) and in his previous match against Levante he drew goalless.
Both Granada and, above all, Getafe, who only have two goals and both from the injured Sandro Ramírez, are having offensive problems so a close clash is expected and where the one who scores first can have a lot of wins.
Also the two teams are with significant casualties. Robert Moreno cannot count on Gonalons, Eteki and Domingos Duarte, and Quique Sánchez Flores, in addition to his main forward, is still without Vitolo and Jankto due to injury, and he will not be able to have either Djené or Chema, due to their expulsions against Celta, but he could get Jaime Mata back.
