Las Palmas vs Real Sociedad Betting Tips

Las Palmas opted to change manager a fortnight ago following their 4-0 thrashing at Getafe. Since they appointed Quique Setien they have played two tough games at home to Villarreal and away to Real Madrid. A 0-0 in the former was followed by a 3-1 defeat at the Bernabeu and in truth the new boss won’t have been too disappointed with that return but it’s still a very tough job he has on his hands. Las Palmas are 19th with only 6 points from their opening 10 fixtures on their return to the top flight.

They have failed to score in over half of those matches and have drawn blanks in 4 of their 5 games at Estadio Gran Canaria in La Liga so far. In fact there have only been 5 goals in total in their 5 home matches in the top flight this term and both teams are yet to score with their sole win coming in a 2-0 success against Sevilla.

Real Sociedad are only 3 points better off but 7 of their 9 points have come on the road and their two wins have been big wins, 3-0 at Granada and 4-0 at Levante but any hope that they’d turned a major corner from that win were nullified by a home defeat to Celta Vigo last time out.

They will probably be grateful to get back on the road with the troubles they are having at the Anoeta right now. Both teams have scored in just 1 of their 5 away games this term and given the lack of goals in matches on Gran Canaria this term it seems a solid bet backing ‘No’ in the Both Teams to Score market here at 4/5.

Real Sociedad do still have some genuine quality in their ranks and of the two they are certainly the more likely to move away from their current lowly position. Those two big away wins mean they should travel with belief and they are decent value to beat what looks to be a weak Las Palmas side 2-0 at 11/1.
