Match Analysis

Las Palmas has shown a mix of resilience and struggle in their recent fixtures, drawing twice against Celta and Alaves, and suffering a narrow defeat to Betis. Despite these efforts, they haven't secured a win in their last three outings, highlighting the challenges they face. Their recent games indicate a consistent ability to find the net, with an average of 1.0 goals scored per match in the last five, though defensively, they concede an average of 1.8 goals. The absence of clean sheets in their recent matches underscores defensive vulnerabilities. On the other hand, Sociedad's recent performances include a victory over Valladolid, a draw with Vallecano, and a loss to Sevilla. Despite the mixed outcomes, they have struggled to maintain defensive solidity, conceding an average of 2.4 goals over their last five games, while scoring an average of 0.6. Their expected goals metrics suggest they might not be as threatening in attack as they would hope, with only 0.846 expected goals per match. However, a slightly better defensive expected goals figure of 1.91 indicates some potential to tighten their defense.

Final Prediction

Sociedad appears to have the upper hand, primarily due to their higher league standing and a recent victory which could boost their confidence. A key factor to watch in this game will be whether Sociedad can capitalize on Las Palmas' defensive weaknesses and whether Las Palmas can break Sociedad's backline, given their own offensive challenges. The encounter promises to be a tight contest, with both teams looking to improve their positions in the league.
