Sociedad – Granada

My second pick in my last day as tipster on Betdistrict … Real Sociedad hosts Granada in the 37th round of the Spanish Primera Division.

Real Sociedad has no more objective this season for a long time … but that did not stop them to play decent football (specially at home) even if they won only 1 of the last 8 games. But their losses came all away from home and at home and the schedule was not the easiest (playing 5 times away and only 3 times at home). Sociedad is coming after a 2-0 defeat at Camp Nou vs. Barcelona after a pretty good performance. At home, Real Sociedad has 5 wins and 3 draws in the last 8 matches. Rulli, Granero and Pardo are suspended … Zurutuza is questionable.

Granada is coming after two wins in a row that allowed them to climb on the 16th place, tied with Deportivo for the last position that stays in Primera … the two wins gave Granada home, but truth is they are playing poor football … visitors beat Getafe 2-1 and then Cordoba 2-0 with Cordoba having two players sent off in the 30th and 79th minutes and Granada having a penalty. Murillo and Eddy are out … Riki and Adrian Colunga are questionable.

Normal odds should be about 1.70 probably, but Sociedad not winning games recently, Granada`s two consecutive wins and the difference in motivation make this a balanced encounter on paper … even so, I think Sociedad will win. Returning at home should be big for them, they are a different animal in San Sebastian. Also they play without an objective since 2015 started basically, so it should not be a problem. Moyes wants to build a team for next year and these last two games are very important for the players, they want to keep their place.

My tip will be Real Sociedad to win. Bookies opened with as low as 1.70 for a Sociedad win and they knew what they were doing. The rise in odds of a home win was normal at first, but clearly got out of control. Granada lost 5 games in a row away before beating Getafe in their last travel. Correct score prediction: Real Sociedad – Granada 1-0.
