Real Sociedad vs Las Palmas Prediction 04.05.2024

• Competition: Spain - LaLiga
• Date: Saturday, 4th, May 2024
• Kickoff: 13:00 UTC +1 / 14.00 CEST
• Venue: Reale Arena (San Sebastian)

Real Sociedad will be desperate to put an end to their three-game winless run in LaLiga as they hoost decrepit Las Palmas at the Real Arena on Saturday.

It appears that this season's European football has taken a toll on Real Sociedad, as they have already bid farewell to the top-four finish, with even the risk of missing out on continental presence next campaign if they continue to drop points abundantly. In their most recent LaLiga outing, Txuri-Urdin were defeated by a rotated Real Madrid side with the smallest of margins 0-1 to stretch their winless run to three straight matches (D2, L1), putting their Europa League spot in jeopardy as seventh-placed Betis lurks around the corner with just two points less.

They will meet a Las Palmas side who have surprised many with their performances for most of the season but are now showings signs of fatigue as the LaLiga 2023-24 campaign draws to close. Due to their impressive results during the first part of the campaign, the Canary Islands club can rest assured about their survival in the Spanish top-flight, as they hold a healthy 11-point advantage over the first resident of the relegation zone, Cadiz. As they aim for a top-half finish, Pio Pio urgently need to shake off their disastrous run of form.

Real Sociedad vs Las Palmas Betting Tips: OVER 2.5

With an extremely tough schedule ahead of them, taking on Barcelona, Valencia, Betis, and Atletico Madrid in the final four weeks of the LaLiga campaign, Real Sociedad are aware that earning full points on Saturday is of great importance. Indeed, the Basque club should return to the winning track in a routine manner as they host Las Palmas, a side going through their worst spell of the season, having lost six matches on the trot and enduring nine winless games. 

Alongside the inevitable win for the hosts, we feel that goals could also be in the mix, as defenses on both sides seem broken, with Sociedad recording only one shutout in their last seven home fixtures, while Pio Pio have conceded a worrying 13 goals in their past four road matches. Even as they are rocked by the crisis, the Canarian club carries positive memories from their recent visits to San Sebastian, avoiding defeat in four of their last five away clashes against the Basque club, and scoring at least once in each of those. Ultimately, we believe Las Palmas can fancy their chances of getting on the scoresheet, but nothing beyond that, as Sociedad should prove superior and pocket all three points in what could be a lively, goal-filled affair.
