Real Sociedad vs Las Palmas Betting Tips & Predictions

Real Sociedad are in 10th place but any hopes of European football in San Sebastian next season have faded after the side picked up just 2 points from their last 4 games. 1-1 draws at home to Malaga and Levante were particularly damaging while defeats at Atletico Madrid and Celta Vigo were slightly more expected. They have only lost 1 of their last 10 matches at the Anoeta although 3 of the last 5 have finished level and they are still without a few key players in a campaign that has been disrupted by numerous injuries.

Las Palmas were seen by many as strong favourites for the drop in the early weeks of the season but they have done quite well since Quique Setien took over in the Autumn. They have performed well in all of their last 5 matches, restricting Real Madrid and Barcelona to 2-1 victories when they visited Gran Canaria and they have crucially won all their other 3 matches in that period. Their 1-0 win at Eibar last month was their first top flight away win in 23 attempts and they clearly got a taste for it as they followed that up with another away win at high-flying Villarreal.

Therefore they will probably be feeling pretty confident as they make the long flight north to the Basque Country and if they perform how they have over the past 5 matches, they have every chance of getting a result. Real Sociedad are still not entirely convincing and mid-table is probably where they belong. 3 of their last 5 home games and 4 of their last 8 have finished in 1-1 draws. With Las Palmas looking much improved at the back, consider taking a punt on another 1-1 draw at 6/1.
