Las Palmas-Real Sociedad is a match from the third day of La Liga and is played Friday at 7:30 pm: lineups, predictions, TV and streaming.
Real Sociedad’s slow start, unable to take advantage of two consecutive home matches against Girona and Celta Vigo, opponents within the Basques’ reach. Imanol’s men seemed to have what it takes to stay on a full points lead after the assist they received from Lady Luck at the time of the calendar draw – no bigs until the fifth day – but they have already thrown away two big chances.
It tasted like a mockery last Saturday’s draw with Rafa Benitez’s Galicians, who right in the midst of recovery prevented Zubeldia and his teammates from rejoicing in their first league success. A goal by Mingueza in the 94th minute brought a chill to the Royal Arena in San Sebastian, which after Barrenetxea’s lead in the first half hour had imagined a downhill race. Real Sociedad, which now goes hunting for its first three points away, on the field of newly promoted Las Palmas. A match to be won, since in a few weeks the Txuri-urdin will also be engaged in the Champions League: behind the usual three (Barcelona, Real Madrid and Atletico Madrid) in the last La Liga are the Basques, who will therefore have the chance to measure themselves against the best in Europe.
The club, meanwhile, continues to move in the market: after Hamari Traore and André Silva, the interesting midfielder Zakharyan has also arrived from Dinamo Moscow.
Benito Ramirez
Aiming for salvation instead is the Canary Islands club, back in the top flight after spending four consecutive seasons in Segunda. The Yellowoblù have made some important strikes (Ramirez, El Haddadi) that should allow them to maintain the category, but the start has not been memorable. A good draw with Mallorca (1-1) was followed by a narrow defeat at the Mestalla against Valencia. One point in the standings for Pimienta’s men.
The prediction
After two disappointing draws Real Sociedad should not miss the appointment with the first three points of its championship. It won’t be a walk in the park for the Basques, but their greater quality will make the difference in the long run.
