The friendly match that will "close the door" on Friday's program will be played at "Elland Road", in which Leeds United and Real Sociedad will face each other.
Leeds United successfully started the preparatory period, as they triumphed over Elche (2-1) in Spain, after a turnaround, thanks lá»›n the goals of Joe Gelhardt and Mateusz Klich, and with that victory they managed lá»›n put an end lá»›n the series of two consecutive defeats. After this match, the popular "The Peacocks" will play two more warm-up matches before they return lá»›n Premier League action on December 28 and face the current champion Manchester City in front of the home fans.

Just five days after the match against Leeds, Sociedad returns lá»›n competitive action on December 21st, where they visits "Estadio La Isla" and play against CD Corio in the second round of the Copa del Rey.
Leeds United vs Real Sociedad Betting Tips: BTTS
Never before have these two teams met, not even in friendly matches. In that case, it's hard to pick the winner of the match, so we'll be backing the goals market as we expect an exciting 90 minutes with plenty of action.
Leeds definitely have no problem finding the net this season in the strongest football league in the world. Although they are currently positioned in the 15th position, they are one of the best scorers in the EPL with 22 goals scored.
However, what worries coach Jesse Marsch the most is the lack of control and consistency in the defensive line, which is best shown by the fact that they have kept only one clean sheet in the last 14 competitive games.
Meanwhile, Real Sociedad have shown decent creativity in front of goal, but their defensive line continues to make amateur mistakes, which resulted in just one clean sheet in their last eight games (counting all competitions).
Namely, La Real was extremely "fruitful" in attack during their visits in this campaign. They have scored at least two goals in 6 of the previous 7 away games, so we believe they will keep their attacking style. Let’s check soccer referee tips in here
Both Leeds and Real Sociedad are playing attacking football without too much calculation of late, so hopefully both teams will find a way to the net. The English side have finished 4/5 matches with BTTS, while La Real have seen goals in both nets in each of their last four matches. We believe the crowd will enjoy themselves at Elland Road.

Aihen Munoz, Mikel Oyarzabal, Ander Barrenetxea and Umar Sadiq continue to recover from their injuries, and the good news is that 18-year-old centre-forward Momo Cho is back from injury.
Coach Imanol Alguacil will most likely name an identical and stronger XI, as against Rayo Vallecano, given that this is the last warm-up match for La Real before the continuation of the season.
