In the first four rounds, Granada have only two points with a 2:7 score and in this frame of mind they headed to Monday's Round 5 match at Camp Nou as clear outsiders. In Barcelona, however, they were just a few seconds away from a sensational win. The favourite equalised in the last minute of the game to make it 1-1. Granada's self-esteem has been boosted, which will come in handy ahead of Thursday's game against Real Sociedad.
Real Sociedad will also be a tough opponent - after all, they are one of Spain's ambassadors in the European Cups. They entered the Europa League group stage with a 2-2 away draw with PSV, and their last league match ended in a draw too, in which they earned a point against a strong Sevilla (0-0). Real Sociedad has already collected ten points (3-1-1) in the new season. The only loss was in the first round in Barcelona (2-4). This is enough to put them in fifth place, which makes them the odds-on favourite ahead of the Granada game.
The home team have been waiting for a league win for 10 games in total since the end of last season, but they have draw four of the previous six and will be looking to follow on their good performance in Barcelona. The away team have also been popular in draws, plus they will missing several important players (Illaramendi, David Silva, Guridi, Sergio Rico, Nacho Monreal, Isak). Therefore, the split of points would not be a big surprise.
My bet:
Draw @ 3.30 (bet365)
