Real Sociedad vs Girona prediction: Hosts to edge tight game
Key stats
- Our Real Sociedad vs Girona betting tips take into account that four of the last seven Girona games, and all of the last three, have produced just one goal.
- Just 28% of Real Sociedad home games in La Liga this season have seen both teams score.
- Girona haven’t scored more than once in any of their last 10 games.
Correct score prediction: Real Sociedad 1-0 Girona
Girona secured safety with a scrappy win away to bottom club Real Valladolid in midweek, but they’ve not looked at all convincing this season.
The same could be said for Real Sociedad, but the fact that this is long-serving Imanol’s final match will add to the sense of occasion here, and may spark a better performance from these players. A poor, low-scoring game still looks likely, though.
