Girona - Real Sociedad betting tips and odds

It’s hard to see even the most ardent of Girona fans expect a victory here. As clear underdogs, even a draw against Real Sociedad would be quite impressive, let alone an upset in the form of a home win.

Team from San Sebastian have their work cut out for them this Sunday. Most bookmakers online see them as the stronger team, made evident by the 2.40 betting odds for an away win. That’s a fairly slim advantage, though.

The previous round brought a narrow defeat for Girona. Betting predictions foresaw an uphill battle considering the home-field disadvantage and incredibly difficult matchup against Real Betis . The first half went as well as can be expected, but Real Betis pulled ahead as the game progressed and registed a narrow 2:1 victory.

Sociedad played their previous La Liga matchup at home, going up against Espanyol in a relatively one-sided matchup. As expected, the game’s hosts eventually won 2:1 after spending most of the runtime ahead.

The visiting team have had very bad luck when it comes to their concession rate. In the past 3 home games, they conceded more than 5 goals.

With 7 points earned so far, the home team are 11th in the standings. That’s a decent start and it puts them just 5 points behind a Europa League qualifying spot. That said, they’re not very likely to earn any points in this upcoming match.

The 10 points La Real managed to earn in the past 7 matches are better than most, but not enough for a position they can be happy with. It won’t be easy to get 3 points this Sunday, but it would show that they have higher ambitions.

Though the visitors are clearly considered favourites, they’ll have some additional hurdles to overcome for this match. Namely, Carlos Fernández, Mikel Oyarzabal, Barrenetxea, Martín Merquelanz, Umar Sadiq will all be kept from the game due to injury. It’s a precarious position despite the team’s strength and should be kept in mind when looking at the betting odds.

Over 2.5 Goals is easily the safest bet when it comes to this matchup. The best part is that it also maintains a decent betting value, especially if you use the 2.23 odds offered at Unibet.
