Real Sociedad earned their first UEFA Europa League win of the season this Thursday by thrashing Norwegian side Lillestrom 6-0 on the road.
The Basque outfit have now won back-to-back games and are unbeaten in their last four matches across all competitions (W3, D1). They are also on a three-game winning streak in La Liga.
Keeping that in mind, Pellegrino Matarazzo's troops have moved up to fifth in the standings, with a 5-1-3 win-draw-loss record. Interestingly, they have both scored and conceded 17 goals in those nine league outings.
Real Sociedad remain without the injured Jon Aramburu (muscle), Luken Beitia (sprained ankle), Yangel Herrera (calf), and long-term absentee defender Alvaro Odriozola (ACL).
On the other hand, Levante snapped their five-game winless streak with a 3-1 victory over Athletic Bilbao in a rescheduled league fixture on Wednesday.
While the Valencia-based side have now won two of their nine league matches this season, both victories have come at home, with the visitors going winless in five away matches so far (D3, L2).
Moreover, Luis Castro's troops were just above the relegation zone a couple of weeks ago but have now moved up to 10th in La Liga. They will be without Enzo Bardeli and Adrian de la Fuente for this clash.
Real Sociedad have been the dominant side in recent clashes between these teams, having won three of the last five H2Hs (D1, L1). They were also victorious in Levante's last three trips to this stadium.

Priced at 13/20 (1.65), Real Sociey are considered favourites by the bookmakers ahead of this skirmish.
The Basque giants have won three consecutive La Liga outings, and considering their dominance over Levante at this stadium, coupled with the visiting team's struggles on the road, we are confident that the hosts will emerge victorious.
There were at least 11 corners in four of the last five H2Hs, and this can be backed at 1/1 (2.00).
