Real Sociedad

Spain

In the previous season Real Sociedad failed to retain the Spanish Super Cup and lost focus in La Liga, finishing at 6th spot. During the summer club signed Mohamed Ali-Cho and Brais Mendez. Imanol Alguacil's men got off to a turbulent start of the season - in five rounds Basques have recorded two victories and one draw, delivering seven points and a 12th spot in the standings.

The Royal Club started the Europa League with back-to-back victories over Manchester United (1:0) and Omonia (2:1). Barrenetxea, Fernandez, Le Normand, Martin and Oyarzabal will miss the upcoming game through injuries.

Espanyol

Spain

In the previous season Espanyol barely avoided relegation and finished 14th in the standings. Catalan side went into the new season with Diego Martinez as a new head coach and he put up the worst start in his career.

In five rounds of a current season the Budgerigars have recorded one victory and one draw, delivering four points and a 16th spot in the standings. In recent matches the White-Blues managed to beat Athletic (1:0), but suffered a defeat to Sevilla (2:3).
