Granada are currently in 19th place in the La Liga standings and have struggled to make an impact so far this season. The home side slumped to a damaging 5-1 defeat at the hands of Villarreal last week and will need to work hard to bounce back in this match.

Real Sociedad, on the other hand, are in seventh place in the league table at the moment and have been inconsistent this season. La Real suffered a narrow 2-1 defeat at the hands of PSG in the UEFA Champions League in their previous game and have a point to prove this weekend.

Granada vs Real Sociedad Prediction

Real Sociedad have flattered to deceive so far this season and face a battle to secure their place in Europe. The likes of Mikel Merino and Mikel Oyarzabal can be effective on their day and will need to step up to the plate this weekend.

Granada have failed to cope with the rigors of the top flight this season and are in desperate need of a consistent run of results. Real Sociedad are the better team at the moment, however, and should be able to win this game.
