Las Palmas vs Real Sociedad Prediction: Bookmakers are on the side of the Basques

The third round of the Spanish La Liga 2023/24 will begin with a match between Las Palmas and Real Sociedad. Despite the factor of the field and the home of the islanders, bookmakers are on the side of the Basques, who have not yet won in the Spanish championship, as well as Las Palmas.

In the first round, Las Palmas drew with Mallorca on their home field; in the second round, they lost minimally, 0:1, at the Mestalla to Valencia. As a result, before the start of the third game day, they occupy 14th place with an asset of one point, ahead of the teams from the relegation zone, just on this one point. So far, Las Palmas leaves the impression of a cautious and low-scoring team, which is logical for a newcomer to the elite division, which needs time to get used to the speed of La Liga.

If we didn't expect anything special from Las Palmas at the start of the season, we expected a more powerful start from the Basques, especially since the Royal Blues played both matches on their home field and not against the giants. As a result, the Basques drew twice 1:1, first with Girona and then with Celta. Both matches were like a duplicate; Real Sociedad were the first to go forward, dropped back on defense, and eventually conceded. Considering the results and statistics, Real Sociedad, like Las Palmas, can be called a low-scoring team.

As written above, both teams at the start of the season 2023/24 show themselves as unproductive teams. Accordingly, it is unlikely to expect high performance from the match between these two teams. Basque lacks confidence in their abilities; in both home matches, after scoring goals, the team eventually conceded instead of going forward and increasing the advantage back to their own goal. We should not expect any activity from Las Palmas; the islanders will be happy if they can take at least one point in the match against the representative of Spain in the Champions League. In general, we will not be surprised if the upcoming game ends with a score of 1:1, like the two starting matches involving the Basques.
