Granada vs Real Sociedad: Prediction and Betting Tips

Granada still in search of their first win

Granada were minutes away from a famous victory on Sunday in Barcelona. In fact, the Nazaries led until the 90th minute when Pique equalized and salvaged a point for his team. While coach Robert Moreno’s winless start of the season continued for the fifth game running.

Nonetheless three points from a possible 15 so far in La Liga is not an encouraging start. Therefore, Moreno must make the most of playing at Estadio Nuevo Los Cármenes. On the positive side, Granada’s last meeting here against Sociedad saw the home team winning 1-0 last March. How their fans would like to see a repeat of that result.

Granada Key Stats

• Granada are winless in ten matches 
• The average goals scored by Granada in the last ten matches is 0.7
• Two clean sheets in ten matches is what Granada managed in their last ten games

Real Sociedad to maintain their unbeaten run

Coming into this game, Real Sociedad gathered ten points from five matches. Moreover, the White and Blues have not lost in their last four games. Notably, Real Sociedad improved in the last couple of years as they finished in the top six in the last two seasons. As a result, they are playing in the Europa League this season and also the last.

One of the reasons for Real’s recent success is coach Imanol Alguacil. Since taking over the first team after managing the B team for many years, Alguacil won the Copa del Rey in 2020.

With some of the leading teams in Spain looking vulnerable early on, this could be the year for Sociedad to have a real impact on La Liga.

Sociedad Key Points

• Under 2.5 goals is the outcome of Sociedad’s four of last five games
• Sociedad had four clean sheets in the last five matches
• Real scored in nine of their last ten matches

Granada vs Real Sociedad Prediction

Despite returning from Nou Camp with just one point, Granada will get a lot of positives from that game. The fact that their opponents Sociedad lost to Barca on the opening day 4-2 will give Moreno’s side some confidence. 

Notably, the bookies are also tentative in their favoring of a Sociedad win. In fact, odds of 2.08 for an away win at Vbet is quite high odds for a favorite team. We think the reason for that is Granada’s last performance which was very convincing.

Consequently, the odds for this match are mostly of high value. For example, the BTTS market has odds of 1.85 for yes and 1.95 for no. As for the total goals in the game, the bookies expect a high-scoring game despite the stats that suggest the opposite.

Finally, we will back the bet in the combos section at Vbet of double chance and total goals scored in the match.
