Odds: 13/5 odds taken 23:14 GMT Tuesday, 7th July

Real Sociedad are going to have a lot to do to try and haul themselves into a top six finish this season in La Liga.

They will head into action on Friday two points outside of sixth spot. They haven’t been at their best since the return to action but need to dig a win out of this one.

Granada are in the middle of the Spanish top flight table and would pull to within one point of their opponents if they were to pick up the away win.

Real Sociedad Preview – Can Sociedad produce a stone finish

Real Sociedad have played out a W1 D2 L4 record since the lockdown of the Spanish top flight ended.

It just hasn’t been the finish that they would have wanted as they are trying to push for European action next term.

There is a small window open for them, but they will only have three games to go after this. None of those are easy ones either.

The home record of Real Sociedad is W9 D3 L5 for the season but they have claimed only one success in their four on home turf.

But three of their five home defeats suffered this season were against teams currently above them in the table.

All five of their home losses have been by just a one goal margin as well, so big margins are not expected here.

71% of Real Sociedad’s home games have made it over 2.5 goals.

Part of that has been down to a good output of an average of 1.8 goals per home game that Sociedad have produced.

Six of their nine home wins have been by a margin of at least two goals.

It has just been a lack of general form from them lately which is going to be the big concern for them.

There has been no clean sheet from Real Sociedad in their last nine league games, none in their last four at home.

Our betting prediction:
1-1 Correct Score
6/1

(odds taken 23:14 GMT Tuesday, 7th July)

 

Real Sociedad have scored two thirds of their home goals in the second half of home games this season.

To their credit, there are only three teams in the league currently who have scored more goals in this season’s La Liga than Sociedad have.

Their defence hasn’t quite been able to keep the pace up however.

Real Sociedad will want to bank maximum points here as they have a horrible finish.

They close out the season with a run of three games against Villarreal, Sevilla and Atletico Madrid, all current top-five teams.

The road to Europe is not going to be easy for them. Will three points from this one nudge them closer?

 

Granada Preview – Granada have a stress-free finish

Granada are six points away from the top-six places with just four games to go.

So they aren’t realistically going to get up that high and they start Friday’s game down in 10th spot.

It is not as if they have the form behind them currently to suggest that they are going to put a big run together either.

Granada are W1 D3 L2 in their last six league fixtures.

Still after all, this is their first season back in the top flight, so they have done very well.

The away record of Granada is W4 D5 L8 for the campaign.

They did manage to get a success on the board in their last away fixture, a 2-0 success at Alaves.

That extended them to a five match undefeated streak of form out on the road in the top flight (W2 D3).

So they are unlikely to be a pushover and the draw in the match outright at 13/5 has a certainly amount of appeal* (odds taken 23:14 GMT Tuesday, 7th July).

Interestingly all four of Granada’s away success this season have been by a margin of at least two goals.

But each of those wins have come at teams who are currently in the bottom half of the table.

Granada suffered a 1-2 reverse at home against Real Sociedad earlier this season and are on a five match losing streak against them.

Granada have failed to score in three of their last five against Real Sociedad so there isn’t much is not much favour for them when it comes to the head to head.

But taking some current form into consideration for Real Sociedad vs Granada betting the visitors do look as if they are going to be tough to knock over.

 

Real Sociedad vs Granada Betting Advice

We can’t see past the draw in the match outright for this fixture. First of all there is the good away form that Granada are carrying.

They are undefeated in their last five on the road and it’s worth bearing in mind neither of these are in great form.

Real Sociedad have done alright overall at home in this campaign, but has it been enough to get three points from this one?

 

Key Facts – Real Sociedad vs Granada Betting Tip

  • Real Sociedad have won one of their last seven league fixtures
  • Real Sociedad are the 4th-highest scorers in La Liga
  • Granada are unbeaten in five away games

 

For us that is a no and simply because Real Sociedad have only managed to score more than one goal in a game just once in their last seven fixtures, leads us to the draw.

Granada are in decent enough nick to hold their own.
