Team News

Real Sociedad
Granada
  • Captain Mikel Merino returned to the team last week and will certainly keep his place going into this one.
  • Umar Sadiq and Mikel Oyarzabal came off the bench against Las Palmas and will likely start this week against Granada.
  • Urko Gonzalez has picked up an injury in training and is out.
  • Bryan Zaragoza was used up front in last week's win over Mallorca. He scored a long awaited first goal of the season, and should be used there again this weekend.
  • They will likely use a 4-4-2 against Sociedad, who usually dominate in possession, as a draw would be a good result for the visitors in this one.

Prediction

  • Visitors Granada are coming into this one off the back of a motivating home victory over Mallorca last week, whilst La Real recorded their third draw of the season against Las Palmas, and are still without a win in La Liga this season.
  • Granada have been free-flowing in attack at times this season, and with club superstar Bryan Zaragoza playing in an advanced role next to Myrto Uzuni, the visitors should have their share of chances in this match. Sociedad have struggled to score goals and are growing increasingly frustrated. Imanol Alguacil needs to find his preferred eleven, and fast.
  • Granada are ranked 8th in the league for goals scored per game, whilst Sociedad are 15th. This could equate to another draw, but Granada have been poor on the road. Sociedad should edge this one, but whether they will or not will be a different story.
