Two sides level on eight points, but they get there in very different ways. Granada have been the ones making the chances and losing anyway, while the Real Sociedad B side has not won at home all season and is short of bodies up front and in midfield. The game turns on whether Granada's territory finally turns into a result against a young team that rarely holds the ball.
Granada have gone four league games without a win, but the recent defeats were not one-sided. They outshot Andorra 23 to 6 with the better chances and still lost, and over the last seven games with stats they average around 16 shots against 12 for their opponents. Their coach said the team has been conceding about three a game without defending that badly, and that there will be changes in the starting eleven.
The home side is a different type. They average about 39 percent of the ball and under 10 shots a game, and they have scored only twice in their last four at home. This week they lose Kita and Mariezkurrena to suspension after the red cards against Ceuta, and Orobengoa is still out injured. A few players also played big minutes in a Friday friendly against Athletic, so the group looks stretched after a cup game and that friendly.
Granada come in with almost eight days of rest and a squad that is short only on the wings, with Bamba and Marques injured. A team that creates this much and faces this thin an attack is the one I trust to finally turn the pressure into a win.
