Real Sociedad will be looking to put a challenging opening two weeks at the start of the new season behind them on Friday when they go in search of a first league win of the campaign against newly-promoted Las Palmas.
La Liga Preview
There will be pressure mounting on Real Sociedad ahead of their trip to Las Palmas this weekend, as they remain without a win after two matches at the start of the new season. Sociedad were hoping to build on their top four finish last term, but they have started the new season in the same form as they ended the last.
Their inconsistency at the tail end of the previous season was covered following their excellent first half to the season, but the same mistakes are evident in the early weeks of the La Liga season this term. Sociedad have been held to back to back draws in their opening two matches, as they have twice threw away 1-0 leads in the final 15 minutes. The latest of those came in their opening home match of the new season, as they couldn’t hold on to maximum points against Celta Vigo.
Las Palmas will be aiming to maintain their top flight status this term, and there will be pressure on the Spanish side to pick up points in their home matches. They come into this match after playing out a 1-1 draw in their first home match of the new season, but they were beaten on matchday two by Valencia.
Still, a lot of positives would have been taken by the newly-promoted side, as they dominated the possession on the road against an in-form Valencia. However, they lacked the quality in the final third of the field to steal a point or maximum points from their showdown against their rivals at the Mestalla.
Las Palmas vs Real Sociedad Head to Head
Real Sociedad has won three of their last four against Las Palmas, which includes 1-0 win in this exact fixture in April 2018. The hosts have beaten Sociedad on just two occasions in the top-flight since 2015.
Las Palmas vs Real Sociedad Prediction
Sociedad have started slowly in the opening weeks of the top-flight, and they will need to get back on track this weekend. We expect this clash to be a low-scoring affair, which means under 2.5 goals and a win for Sociedad could be a solid betting angle.
