La Real will try to raise the txuri urdin flag at the Mestalla

Drum roll in the city of Turia. Real Sociedad will close a week full of controversies due to schedule violations and indiscretions on the part of a League, which ignored the demands and claims of the txuri urdin club. To make matters worse, today’s match against Valencia will be played in the middle of dinner on the eve of San Sebastian Day, a date marked in red for all residents of San Sebastián and Azpeitiarra. However, Real will look to raise the flag at the Mestalla, more than 500 kilometers from Gipuzkoa, with a victory in Che fiefdom that could put them in fifth place, confirming the bypass of Villarreal and Mallorca.

Their current rival, the recently incorporated Valencia Carlos Corberanis a history that is at a low hour both football and institutional. We must not forget that Ches have six Ligas, eight Copas del Rey and three UEFA Cups to their credit, among many other trophies. But the current reality is very different. The team from the city of Turia is at the bottom of the table with 13 points, six of the 19 units that Espanyol has, the team that marks permanence. Furthermore, Chess have not won in the League since November 23. So far this year in the League they have registered a hard fought loss against Real Madrid (1-2) and also a last minute draw at home by Sevilla (1-1). Although they came from eliminating Ourense in the Copa del Re and (0-2).

Real flood

The attitude of the visiting team was completely opposite to Ches. Imanol’s men opened the 2025 league calendar with a crucial home victory against Villarreal. They completed a gray game but very effectively carried out a Maradonian play of Take Kubo which gave them success at the very least. The Cup classification achieved against Rayo also gives strength to a squad that, despite having a tight schedule, shows no signs of fatigue on the field of play. Although Oriotarra highlighted on more than one occasion that this carousel of matches will bring players, the truth is that no one dropped the call and Imanol made a list with 24 player. The only casualty was Jon Mikel Aramburu, who received his fifth yellow card against Villarreal and will not be available for today’s match. The one with the most votes to occupy his position is Aritz Elustondoalthough in case the Orio man called Alvaro Odriozolawhich in the words of the technician, is not at 100%. The coach from Gipuzkoa also wanted to call up the ‘colt’ Iñaki Rupérez but the Navarrese saw his fifth yellow card against Sanse and could not play.

Sadiq, almost eliminated

Valencia come into the clash with the almost certain absence of extxuri urdin Umar Sadiq. The Nigerian did not train on Friday due to some discomfort in his knee which has caused him a lot of trouble during his stay in Donostia. If his withdrawal is confirmed, Real will say goodbye to the 300,000 euros he will earn if the Kaduna player makes the jump to the Mestalla green. Also in the chapter of absences, the team can’t count Rafa Mirwho suffer fibrillar damage to the quadriceps, Diakhabywho is recovering from the dislocation of his knee and Fran Pérez, who has a hamstring injury. What seems to be available is captain José Luis Gayá, who was not called up for the Cup match against Ourense but all indications are that he will be available for the league match.

Big afternoon by Óskarsson

Historical statistics smile on Che team, winning 60 out of 147 duels played. Txuri Urdin, on the other hand, managed to win 49 times and the match ended in a draw 38 times. In recent years Imanol Alguacil has been able to take Valencians by storm, as his team has won the last three duels played. In the latest one, in the first round, the royalists had a feast of goals in front of their fans. Take Kubo put the Gipuzkoans ahead in the seventh minute and in the second half Orri Oskarsson Txuri Urdin made his debut as a top scorer with two goals in the second half. In the first goal he pushed to the will of a death to pass from Brace Mendezand in the second the script is identical but the service is executed Mikel Oyarzabal.

The blue and white team did not want to choke the royals at the dinner on the eve of San Sebastián and Imanol Alguacil You want your team to work in harmony with the sound of the music as the drums of Gaztelubide do. Although in recent years the coin has fallen on its head when they face Che’s team, the Gipuzkoans know that the Mestalla is a field that puts a lot of pressure and makes the rival submit. So they must be 100% pure to cover the house under the category.
