Granada and Real Sociedad will exchange tackles at the Estadio Nuevo Los Cármenes in a potentially low-scoring La Liga contest. Both last season’s league meetings between these two sides featured under 2.5 total goals.
Granada head into proceedings as one of just four sides yet to pick up a win in La Liga this season (D3, L2), though they can draw confidence from holding Barcelona to a 1-1 draw at Camp Nou last time out. The one thing the ‘Nazaries’ cannot be proud of is their lack of firepower in the front third, as they’ve netted just three goals across their inaugural five top-flight matches this term (0.6 on average). Moreover, the hosts are enduring their longest winless home streak in La Liga since the last relegation in 2017, having failed to win five consecutive top-flight games at Nuevo Los Cármenes (D2, L3). It seems unlikely that they will curtail that run here, considering they’ve secured just one triumph in their last seven La Liga H2Hs as hosts (W1, D2, L4).
On the other hand, Real Sociedad have hit the ground running since a 4-2 away loss to Barcelona on the opening La Liga weekend, going unbeaten in their subsequent four matches in the competition (W3, D1). Notably, ‘La Real’ kept a clean sheet on each occasion during that four-game sequence and could make it five in a row in the top-flight for the first time since November 1997. Interestingly, a 2-0 victory over lowly Cadiz in their most recent La Liga trip provides Sociedad with an opportunity to register back-to-back away league wins for the first time this calendar year. Imanol Alguacil’s men have struggled on the road since the turn of the year, racking up just four triumphs in 12 top-flight trips in 2021 so far (D3, L5).
