Real Sociedad have won four of the last five duels with Granada, losing one in the process. Overall, the two teams are much closer, though the Basque team still have the advantage – 25-10-20.

Granada preview: Three points for a glimmer of hope

It's been a rough season for Granada, who are without a win in their last seven games in the league and have only managed to notch a couple of victories in La Liga for the entire season. At the moment, they sit 10 points behind the first team outside of the relegation zone, so they would need to win a lot of their remaining games to avoid getting back to Segunda after one season in the top flight.

On the bright side, only Jesrs Vallejo and Raul Fernandez are on Granada's injury list at the moment.

Real Sociedad preview: Hoping to end a losing streak

The Basque team enters this match after losing four in a row, if we count their loss to Mallorca in Copa del Rey after a penalty shootout. In any case, Real Sociedad are clearly in bad form right now and they've only won once in their last six games in La Liga, though they still remain in the seventh place in the standings and in the race for European football next season.

Meanwhile, the team's injury list is extensive at the moment and includes Arsen Zakharyan, Aritz Elustondo, Alvaro Odriozola, Martín Merquelanz, Aihen Munoz, and Carlos Fernandez. Also, Jon Pacheco is suspended ahead of this match.

Predicted Lineup – Remiro – Traore, Le Normand, Zubeldia, Galan – Mendez, Merino, Zubimendi – Kubo, Oyarzabal, Becker

Player to watch: Takefusa Kubo

The Japanese forward is having a solid season in La Liga with seven goals and three assists to his name, which makes him the second top scorer for Real Sociedad, only behind Mike Oyarzabal.

Kubo to score in the first half?

With six goals of his seven in La Liga coming in the first half, Takefusa Kubo seems to be a good choice for a first goalscorer as well, especially since three of those six first-half goals were match openers.
