La Liga 2025-2026: Real Sociedad-Sevilla, the likely lineups

Real Sociedad and Sevilla open for Spanish La Liga’s tenth day program, both looking to sweep away their respective difficulties in this first phase of the league. In fact, the scheduled match in San Sebastian on Friday night at 9 p.m. pits the Basques, who are on six points and in the midst of the relegation zone, against the Andalusians, who are in ninth place in the standings and see Europe as rather distant at the moment.

To try to shake up his Real Sociedad side, Francisco should opt for a two-pronged attack consisting of Oyarzabal and Barrenetxea. Herrera and Soler will act in the midfield, the right flank will be given to Mendez with Gomez on the opposite lane. In defense, the flanks will be Aramburu and Munoz, with Caleta-Car and Zubeldia central in front of goalkeeper Remiro.

Tactical choices are completely different for Almeyda, who is expected to send his Sevilla team out with a trident consisting of Romero in the center and should field Sanchez and Vargas in support. Sow in the box, with Agoume and Mendy in the inside role. In defense, Carmona will start on the right and Suazo on the left, with Martinez and Marcao in the middle to protect the goal entrusted to Vlachodimos.
