Celta and Betis should settle this through the midfield recovery and the next pass into wide space. Celta can control stretches of possession, while Betis have been creating repeated box entries. Sociedad and Levante also turn on the first pass after a regain. Oyarzabal's central reception and Levante's wide counter give that game two distinct attacking routes.
At Celta, Moriba and Febas will try to stop Roca feeding Isco, Lo Celso and the wingers. Celta's wide defenders can advance, but their recent wins needed sharp finishes from Javi Rodríguez and heavy work from Radu. Betis have reached the box often with their current group, despite Cucho's continued absence; the club also lists Bernal and Firpo out. I expect Betis to keep finding a second delivery even when Celta hold the ball. That's why I'm siding with Betis.
Sociedad can move from Soler's recovery into Oyarzabal, then release Gómez or Kubo behind Levante's fullbacks. Levante's Mandi and Ndukwe played together against Athletic but still faced sustained box pressure, while Dela remains absent. Brugué and Thiago give Levante a route on the break, so the first midfield duel matters. Sociedad's current central to wide combinations have produced the clearer final contacts. That's why I'm siding with Real Sociedad.
