RS vs LEP Dream11: The weekend’s 4-0 setback against Athletic Club in the Basque derby qualifies as ‘gruelling.’ Despite having a variety of attacking options, Imanol Aguacil’s team has struggled for goals in La Liga this season, but Real Sociedad do come into today with a respectable first-leg result and performance, as La Real shared a 2-2 draw away to Leipzig. They followed it up with a 6-1 thrashing of Hertha Berlin in the German capital over the weekend, demonstrating Domenico Tedesco’s side’s outstanding progress under the former Schalke manager. Despite the dearth of goals, La Real will be hoping to take advantage of playing at home, and both teams scoring looks to be a decent choice once again.
