Real Sociedad Favourites to Edge Tight and Tense Encounter

Real Sociedad vs Granada CF - 08/11/2020

2122

Real Sociedad have made an excellent start to the season, securing 17pts from their opening eight matches. Last weekend, Sociedad ran out 4-1 winners away at Celta Vigo where a goal from former Manchester City playmaker, David Silva, got the ball rolling.

The visitors doubled their lead before the break through Oyarzabal, and early in the second forty-five Willian Jose made it 3-0. Celta Vigo pulled a goal back from the penalty spot, but Jose netted his second inside the last 10-minutes to wrap up a 4-1 win.

Real Sociedad are in great form having won five of their last six matches in all competitions, with their only defeat coming at home to Napoli in the Europa League.

Both teams have scored in just two of Sociedad’s last six outings, but the hosts have conceded in each of their last three matches. Over 2.5 goals have been scored in four of Sociedad’s last six games and on each occasion, they have gone on to win.

The hosts have a good recent record against Granada, winning five of the pair’s last six encounters in La Liga. Over 2.5 goals have been produced in five of those six meetings, and both teams have scored in each of the duo’s last three head to heads.

Granada claimed a 3-2 win at Sociedad when the two teams last met back in July, but Sociedad are a much-improved team this season.

Granada sit five places and 3pts behind Real Sociedad heading into this weekend’s clash, so the visitors must be taken seriously. Under 2.5 goals have been produced in five of Granada’s last six outings in all competitions. The visitors are unbeaten in their last four away games and could prove a tough nut for Sociedad to crack on Sunday.

Forebet is expecting a close and competitive 90-minutes on Friday, but believes that Sociedad have what it takes to pinch all 3pts. Whilst games involving the hosts have produced a lot of goal, Granada have been involved in a lot of tight and tense matches.

If Real Sociedad are to win this game, Forebet would back a final scoreline of 3-1 as the hosts haven’t kept a clean sheet in their last three games but have been finding the back of the net on a regular basis.
