Girona vs Real Sociedad Betting Tips - Draw

Two teams that have struggled to find consistency in the early stages of the La Liga season square-off on Saturday evening at Estadi Montilivi. 

Girona currently sit 11th in the table with 12 points picked up from their opening nine matches, while Real Sociedad have collected just nine points, leaving them in 15th place. Both sides will be keen to claim a winning result on Saturday, but recent history suggests this could be another tightly contested match.

Girona enjoyed a remarkable 2023-24 campaign, finishing third in La Liga and securing a first-ever Champions League spot. However, their form has dipped this season, with a record of three wins, three draws, and three defeats from their nine league games. 

Michel’s side ended a six-game winless streak in all competitions just before the international break, securing a dramatic 2:1 victory against Athletic Bilbao thanks to a 99th-minute penalty from Cristhian Stuani. 

Real Sociedad have been one of La Liga’s biggest disappointments this season. After finishing sixth last year, Imanol Alguacil’s team have managed just two wins in their first nine games, with a lack of goal-scoring firepower the biggest issue. The Basque side have scored just seven goals in nine league fixtures though they did secure a respectable 1-1 draw against Atletico Madrid in their last outing. 

Recent history between these teams points towards a likely draw this weekend. Five of their last six meetings have ended in a stalemate, including their most recent encounters in La Liga. 

With both sides lacking in confidence and struggling to break down opponents, another closely fought draw seems a likely outcome this weekend.
