Granada vs Real Sociedad Prediction

Both sides are in a poor run of form but Granada have had a poor season overall. They had a run of three consecutive draws but then were hammered 5-1 at Villarreal in their last game. They’ve won just two games in the league this season.

Meanwhile, Real Sociedad lost 2-1 against Paris Saint-Germain at home in their Champions League Round of 16 second-leg tie. They were eliminated with an aggregate scoreline of 4-1.

While Sociedad have struggled in recent times, they should have enough quality to beat Granada and hope to get their season back on track.
