Real Sociedad vs Las Palmas Prediction & Betting Tips (15 December)

A more than credible candidate for the race for Europe at the start of each season, Real Sociedad fell behind at the start of the campaign but is now catching up in 8th place, notably thanks to 2 consecutive successes won recently: against Bétis in a match closed despite the 2-0 result and, last weekend, on the lawn of Butarque, against the promoted Leganes 0-3. The Basques have even won 4 of their last 5 matches in La Liga, including a shock against Barça before the November break 1-0. In the standings, they came back on time.

At the bottom of the abyss between February and last October, the date of Palmas' first success of the season in La Liga against Valencia 2-3, the Gran Canaria club then managed to continue in a ultra-positive dynamic by hitting Girona 1-0, Rayo Vallecano in its lair 1-3, Barça in Montjuic 1-2, and finally Real Valladolid during the last day 2-1. The evening visitors have therefore moved up to 14th place after having been dead last for weeks and they can more than ever envisage a return to the top 10 in the weeks to come. 

Among the absences on the Real Sociedad side, we still list the former Rennais Traoré (holder right side), the offensive Zakharyan, without forgetting Elustondo and Pacheco who are all important in the Basque rotation but injured at the moment. In addition, the important left side Munoz is withdrawn at the last minute.

Recently used as a 2nd striker alongside Oyarzabal (4 goals in La Liga), Brais Mendez scored his 2nd goal of the season against Leganes, a few days after his goal scored in the Copa del Rey.
