Real Sociedad vs Granada Betting Odds, Tips, Predictions, Preview 2nd September 2023

Real Sociedad take on visitors Granada at Reale Seguros Stadium in a La Liga tie this coming Saturday.

While Real Sociedad find themselves on the 12th spot in the table with a miserable three points after three rounds, Granada have also only three points on their account which leaves them 14th in the La Liga standings.

In their last encounter, Real Sociedad managed to run away with all three points against Granada. They will be confident of repeating the feat, seeing they have the advantage of playing on home soil this coming Saturday.

Real Sociedad are relatively average in the art of goal-scoring these days. They scored a steady 14 goals in their previous ten matches, for an average of 1.4 per game. They simultaneously allowed their opponents eight goals, or an average of 0.8 a game. Furthermore, they fought their way to four clean sheets in this run.

Granada are currently decent goalscorers, as they managed a bearable 13 goals in the past ten outings for an average of 1.3 goals a game. Their opponents scored a total of 16 goals, and while Granada claimed three clean sheets, they conceded an average of 1.6 goals per match.

The last time the pair played each other, Real Sociedad came out the other side as 2-0 winners and surely won't mind a repeat of that result.

Real Sociedad vs Granada Prediction

Real Sociedad Form

In their previous three matches, Real Sociedad first drew 1-1 against Girona, then 1-1 against Celta Vigo before also sharing the points in a 0-0 draw against Las Palmas. In their last six La Liga home matches, Real Sociedad have three wins, while they've drawn three and lost zero. They scored nine and conceded five goals.

Real Sociedad enter the season as candidates for a top three finish, but more than a third place would in the end would be a rather big surprise.

Granada Form

Granada collected one win from their last three matches, as Atletico Madrid won by 3-1. Rayo Vallecano were too strong as well, winning 0-2, before Granada won 3-2 against Mallorca. Granada claimed two wins against one draw and three defeats in their last six away matches in the La Liga. The scoreline from these matches reads 13 goals conceded and 12 scored.

Real Sociedad enter the season as candidates for a top three finish, but more than a third place would in the end would be a rather big surprise.

Bookmakers have Real Sociedad down as rather big favourites for the win, when Granada arrive at Reale Seguros Stadium. While it might prove problematic, we still believe they will come through and deliver.
