Real Sociedad are in La Liga action on Sunday evening, as they host Granada. The two sides come into the fixture sitting at opposite ends of the league standings, and both need wins to reach their respective goals for the campaign.
La Liga Preview
Real Sociedad will still be hopeful that they can get back into contention for a Champions League place this season, but they will need to start winning more regularly. Sociedad have been held far too often in recent games, as they have played out draws in three of their last four fixtures. That has allowed Villarreal and Barcelona to both steal a march on them in the battle for a place in the top four.
Sociedad are at least a hard side to beat this term, as they have lost on just five occasions in 22 games. They also have one of the better defensive records in La Liga, having conceded just 21 goals. However, they are also struggling to score goals, as they have hit the back of the net on just 22 occasions. That is the lowest tally of goals for in the top half of the La Liga standings.
Granada are just six points above the drop zone coming into this game away from home. Their recent form couldn’t be much worse, as they have been beaten in their previous three fixtures in the league, and are winless in their last five. However, they haven’t had problems scoring goals this term, as they have scored four more than Sociedad.
The recent form would be a big cause for concern. They were beaten for the third game running last weekend, as league-leaders Real Madrid claimed a 1-0 success. That result means that Granada have now failed to score in each of their last two games in La Liga.
Real Sociedad vs Granada Head to Head
Granada have beaten Sociedad twice in the previous four meetings between the sides, winning away back in July 2020. However, Sociedad have claimed victories in seven of the previous nine fixtures between the sides. Sociedad also won the first meeting between the sides this season 3-2.
Real Sociedad vs Granada Prediction
Wins may have been hard to come by for Sociedad in recent weeks, but they should have more than enough about them to get past the goal-shy Granada this weekend. We can see the hosts claiming a comfortable 2-0 win in front of their home fans.
