Real Sociedad host Levante at Anoeta on October 25 in Regular Season - 10 of La Liga. Matchday 10 is a point where the season's early shape starts to show. Fifth-placed Real Sociedad meet an 11th-placed Levante side, so the home team has the stronger league standing coming in.

The main storyline is form in the league. Real Sociedad won all three of their La Liga matches in the data: 3-2 at Valencia on September 20, 3-2 against Deportivo La Coruna on October 11, and 5-2 at Malaga on October 18. That is ten goals scored and seven conceded across the three. The attack is clearly productive, but the defence has conceded in every one of those games. Levante are unbeaten in their last three league matches. They drew 3-3 with Sevilla on October 12, drew 1-1 at Deportivo La Coruna on October 16, and beat Athletic Club 3-1 on October 21. Earlier defeats to Villarreal (3-1 on September 20) and Barcelona (4-2 on September 13) show a side that has leaked goals against stronger opposition.

The schedule is a secondary factor. Real Sociedad played in the UEFA Europa League on October 15, drawing 1-1 at Union St. Gilloise, so they have managed European and domestic fixtures together. Their last league outing was on October 18, while Levante's was on October 21. Pellegrino Matarazzo's side and Luís Castro's side both arrive with recent results to build on.

Neither team reports any unavailable players, so both managers should be able to select from full squads. Real Sociedad's last lineup included Mikel Oyarzabal and Orri Oskarsson up front. Levante's included Iván Romero and Przemyslaw Ratkov. Continuity in selection seems likely on both sides.

Real Sociedad's attacking output meets a Levante team that has scored in each of its last five matches. That makes goals a reasonable theme to watch at Anoeta.
