Team News

Granada
Real Sociedad
  • Gerard Gumbau returns from his one match ban and will likely play in midfield.
  • Jesus Vallejo is out with a thigh injury and is a definite doubt for Saturday evening.
  • There could be opportunity given to fringe players by Alexander Medina after Granada's embarrassing 5-1 loss to Villarreal.
  • Jon Pacheco is suspended after picking up his fifth yellow card against Sevilla last week. Igor Zubeldia will likely play in defence with Robin Le Normand.
  • Arsen Zakharyan is a doubt this weekend after suffering physical discomfort in the last couple of games. He was absent in the UCL tie against PSG.
  • Sheraldo Becker has been used out wide for the last two games and could start his third consecutive game on the left come Saturday night.

Prediction

  • A struggling Granada welcome an equally downtrodden Real Sociedad side to El Nuevo Estadio de Los Carmenes on Saturday evening, aiming to fare better than the last time the two met, where La Real scored five at home in a 5-3 victory over the weekend's hosts.
  • The visitors are likely favourites in this one, but their exit to PSG in the UCL this week marked their eighth match without a victory at home - the longest winless streak on home soil in the club's history. They could see this match as ample opportunity for a fresh start against Granada, who are ten points from safety in 19th place.
  • Granada are always resilient on the counter, but their defence is likely just not up to the task of stopping La Real take the points.
