Real Sociedad B VS Granada CF

Tied on 8 points just one spot apart in the lower half of the league table, both sides are looking to pick up valuable points to pull clear of the relegation threat early this term. Real Sociedad B have endured an underwhelming start to the campaign, notching just 2 wins, 2 draws and 3 losses from their first 7 league matches to sit 14th. They are still chasing their first home win of the season across 3 attempts, with their attacking output at home far below par. Their lineup has taken a notable hit too: a player who received a red card in a prior fixture remains suspended, while their starting striker is sidelined long-term with a knee injury. The side did get a morale boost recently, after they cruised to a dominant 4-0 away cup victory over Leicester City U21 in their last outing. Granada’s recent form is even more worrying. Following their 2-3 home loss to FC Andorra last round, they have now suffered two consecutive league defeats, picking up only 1 point from their last 4 outings to sit 13th, with one of their key attacking players also sidelined by injury. Granada hold a clear psychological advantage over their opponents, having won both of the two most recent head-to-head clashes, including a resounding 5-2 triumph.
