Probable starting eleven:
Real Sociedad:
Bravo, Carlos Martinez, Mikel, Inigo Martinez, Bella, Bergara, Illarra, Prieto, Griezmann, Castro, Agirretxe
Real Madrid:
Lopez, Essien, Albiol, Ramos, Marcelo, Khedira, Modric, Di Maria, Ozil, Ronaldo, Higuain
Real Sociedad are currently sharing the fourth position with Valencia. The remaining two rounds will decide which team will participate in the next season UEFA Champions League qualifications. Real Sociedad have a small advantage, they have a better H2H record (won both games against Valencia), but on other side they have harder schedule. Sociedad have to play against Real Madrid at home and travel to struggling La Coruna in the last round.
Real Madrid, meanwhile, have nothing to play for, except pride. Their actual form is also questionable, particularly on road. Real won just two of their last six away matches in all competitions. The atmosphere in the team is far from ideal - Mourinho will leave the club next week and some players (Casillas and Pepe for example) are happy with that.
About the team news, Sociedad striker Carlos Vela is suspended due to accumulated yellow cards, while the midfielder Asier Illarramendi is doubtful after suffering a muscle injury against Sevilla last Saturday. The guests have four injured players - Raphael Varane is definitely out, while Sergio Ramos, Fabio Coentrao and Xabi Alonso are doubtful to feature after sustained knocks in the cup final against Atletico Madrid.
I expect Over 3.5 goals at Estadio Municipal de Anoeta in San Sebastian. The last home games of Sociedad were very efficient. Just look the results:
13.05. Real Sociedad - Granada 2:2
28.04. Real Sociedad - Valencia 4:2
06.04. Real Sociedad - Malaga 4:2
16.03. Real Sociedad - Valladolid 4:1
I have no doubt that Sociedad will attack here, even the opponent is Real Madrid. Valencia have an easy home game with Granada, so three points from this match could be crucial. But to attack Real Madrid is very danger. Cristiano Ronaldo has scored 34 goals in Primera and I am sure he will like to improve his record. Los Blancos have produced two very efficient matches in the last three rounds - won 6:2 against Malaga and 4:3 against Valladolid.
At the end I will mention that 13 goals were produced on the last two mutual games between Sociedad and Madrid. I expect at least four to be scored now.
Real Sociedad have been undefeated in their last 13 home matches. Real Sociedad scored at least one goal in each of their last 11 home matches. Real Sociedad conceded at least one goal in each of their last 6 home matches. Real Madrid have been undefeated in their last 14 matches. Real Madrid scored at least one goal in each of their last 14 matches. 69% of Real Madrid's matches had over 2.5 goals scored in total. Real Madrid scored at least one goal in 100% of their home matches. 65% of Real Madrid's conceded goals occured in the first half. Real Madrid have won their last 10 home matches. Real Madrid have been undefeated in their last 18 home matches. Real Madrid have been undefeated in their last 6 away matches. Real Madrid scored at least one goal in each of their last 18 home matches. Real Madrid scored at least one goal in each of their last 6 away matches. Real Madrid conceded at least one goal in each of their last 6 home matches. 60.5% of Sociedad's all scored goals are scored in second half and 57.9% of thier all conceded goals at home are conceded in second halftime too. In 18 home matches Sociedad scored 38 and conceded 19 goals what is 3.17 goals per match. 55.6%of their all home matches finished over 2.5 goals. Real is fantastic this season in away matches. In 18 matches they scored 63 and conceded 17 goals so that is 4.56 goals per match.
My tip is 4+
Espanyol did not win in their last 5 home matches. 56%of their all scored goals are scored in first half and 65.4% of thier all conceded goals at home are conceded in second halftime. In 18 home matches Espanyol scored 25 and conceded 26 goals what is 2.83 goals per match.
This would be good match for audience, hard game with a few goals. I believe in Barca's victory bei 2-1. FC Barcelona have won 83% of their matches. They have won 94% of their home matches and have won 72% of their away matches. Barca have been undefeated in their last 10 matches and they scored at least one goal in each of their last 36 matches. 86% of FC Barcelona's matches had over 2.5 goals scored in total. Barcelona scored at least one goal in 100% of their home matches. Tito's team scored at least one goal in 100% of their away matches and they were leading at half-time in 61% of their matches. Barcelona have won their last 14 home matches. They have been undefeated in their last 18 home matches. Barcelona have been undefeated in their last 4 away matches. They scored at least one goal in each of their last 18 home matches. Barca scored at least one goal in each of their last 18 away matches.
So according to this my tip is: 2-3
The hosts will have no more chances and against Equidad will have to win if they want to continue in the run and arrive with live when they visit DIM in the last day.
To this vital game which will be played in the stadium Metropolitano and counting for the day 17 of Liga Postobón I, the ‘rojiblancos’ will have many changes in their lienup.
The main change should be in defense, especially in the lateral as they are without their ‘alas’. To the injuries of the left backs like Jaider Romero, César Fawcett and Arol Reyes, and in the last game against Millonarios, the right back Iván Vélez end the game injured and will be absent for the next times.
Due to that reason, the coach Alexis García is thinking in the possibility of play with thre center backs to supply the absence of the laterals and defending with five players with the defensive midfielders opened.
It was what they worked during the week, but, in the Fiday training session, Romero played in the main team, but as usual only in the previous minutes before the game we will know the lineup.
Th hosts have faith, they trust in themselves despite the bad moment, and winning against Equidad the hope will grow. At the start of the season it was expected that Junior would be already qualified at this time of season when facing Equidad, no one thought they would arrive in this situation.
Junior is suffering in the table with jst two games remaining thanks to two consecutive defeats and are in 10th place with 21 points, while Equidad already without chances is in the place 13 with 18 points.
Probable Junior lineup:
Sebastián Viera, Jaider Romero, Samuel Vanegas, Diego Amaya, Jossymar Gómez, Gabriel Gomez, Luis Narvaez, Vladimir Hernández, Edwin Cardona, Dayro Moreno and Edison Toloza. COACH: Alexis García.
As they were knocked out in the regular phase of Liga, Equidad Seguros expect to play their last game in the best way possible, and the idea of the Néstor Otero players is to bring the three points from the capital.
Some of the players already think in the second half of the season and in the Copa Suramericana, something that Equidad already reached twice.
The most important to them is to end this regular phase with dignity, and they will try to get as many points as they can. In the second half of season they will be a complicate Equidad, very different form this one. They also know the responsibility they have in playing such important tournament like the Copa Suramericana is.
Diego Novoa returns to the goal, after he was suspended due to the red card he saw in the game that Equidad played against Patriotas in the city of Tunja, counting for the day 15.
Like this, their probable lineup for today will be: Diego Novoa; Pedro Pino, Pedro Portocarrero, Wilmer Díaz, Darwin Andrade; Iván Rivas, Daniel Briceño; Freddy Hinestroza, Stalin Motta; Wilson Morelo and José Moreno. COACH: Néstor Otero.
History, a dream, the desire of an entire life, revenge… All this will be played in the grass of Rosabal Cordero tonight.
It won’t be just another game, another final. No, this one is, by many reasons, very special.
Cartaginés arrives with one illusion, given by the 3-1 of the first leg. Will be 11 players in the field, but will have an entire support behind them, dreaming to be crown, waiting the final whistle of Rándall Poveda to start a party that is waiting along 73 years.
Is a step that the visitors must to give, but it is the hardest of all the season. It na all or nothing that i am sure that Javier Delgado and his players were waiting for it, those games that they love, that gives a good taste.
The “Sheriff” knows what will face, he already was champion with Liga, lost other final coaching Herediano, but it is clear it is special for their team, the importance of the game and because being champion they would be the “hijo predilecto” of Vieja Metrópoli.
In front will be a hurt rival, wanting to explode, showing all the mad due to the anticipate party of the visitors, but above all a rival that knows how to play finals, with very experience players, a great offensive power and who can change the history of a game in a couple of minutes.
To them it is also a clash with the numbers, the stats, with the books. Remounting a disadvantage of two goals they would be the secon team to do it in Primera División after Saprissa in the Winter 2008 and the third to be champion after losing the first leg.
Beside Saprissa, happened with Herediano in 1947 who lost with La Libertad 2-1 in the first leg, won the second leg 7-0 and due to the rules at that time they had to play a third game which they won 2-0.
It will be a final with full concentration, with memories to revive, painful and glory.
It will be a clash between two big rivals, those that are rivals since ever and with their rivalry increased due to the polemic in the finals of 1979, 1987 and 1993.
Tonight there are no words to describe it, the numbers won’t play, the results between the two teams also won’t count. The 22 players will give their life for the title, they will sacrifice for the glory.
It will be all defined in one game counting for make history of Coata Rica football, which will be remembered for the all life.
Cartaginés and Herediano have today a meeting with history.
