The Real Sociedad & Granada managers I. Alguacil Barrenetxea and D. Martínez Penas are both dreading and looking forward to this decisive game in the upper regions of the La Liga league table.
It’s busy days for these teams as both were in action only a few days ago. There’s no rest for the wicked, or in this case; no rest for Sociedad and Granada.
It's time to recharge all electronic entertainment devices for Granada, who are travelling more than 800 kilometers to play this game.
Real Sociedad form and stats
2 victories, 1 draw and 1 defeat. That’s what Real Sociedad, who have the most scored goals (18) in La Liga, have to build on here at Reale Arena in the La Liga. The happy trend is alive also outside their own arena as Sociedad has won their last four matches. Two home wins in a row for Real Sociedad bring valid hopes of a third.
Sociedad's previous game was a Europa League match also played at home, ending 1-0 versus AZ Alkmaar. The home side are looking to build on that result. A strong away win before that one, visiting Celta de Vigo and winning 4-1.
The Sociedad fans have had their share of opportunities to cheer home goals this season, having seen 7 goals in 4 league matches. As for guarding their own goal, Sociedad have only let in 2 goals at home.
Granada form and stats
Things could have gone better for Granada in their La Liga away matches, but 4 points from 3 games is all right.
It's the second away game in a row for Granada, but there's smiles all around after the 2-0 victory versus Omonia Nicosia in the Europa League last time out. A draw for Granada before that, at their own venue hosting Levante (1-1).
Granada have a decent goal production going in their away games, although not fantastic. In 3 league away games 3 goals have been scored. Granada have conceded 7 goals in these games.
Head 2 Head
Last ten meetings between the teams: Real Sociedad won six, Granada won two and two draws. seven games with over 2,5 goals, three matches with two goals or less.Top Goalscorers
