📰 Team News: UD Las Palmas

Regarding absentees, there’s just the lone fitness concern for the UD Las Palmas gaffer Diego Martínez to contend with due to a largely intact squad. Kirian Rodríguez (Lymphatic cancer) won’t play.

We think that UD Las Palmas will possibly use the 4-3-3 formation featuring Dinko Horkas, Viti, Juanma Herzog, Scott McKenna, Mika Marmol, Javier Munoz, Stefan Bajcetic, Jose Campana, Oliver McBurnie, Fabio Silva and Alberto Moleiro.

ℹ️ Team News: Real Sociedad

Real Sociedad boss Imanol Alguacil has a number of players out of action. Jon Pacheco (Inflammation of pubic bone), Arsen Zakharyan (Muscle injury), Brais Méndez (Metatarsal fracture), Álvaro Odriozola (Muscle injury) and Sheraldo Becker (Knee problems) are not able to play.

We’re of the thinking that Txuri-urdin could decide to begin the game with a 4-1-4-1 system, starting Alex Remiro, Hamari Traore, Igor Zubeldia, Aritz Elustondo, Javi Lopez, Martin Zubimendi, Takefusa Kubo, Pablo Marin, Jon Olasagasti, Sergio Gomez and Orri Oskarsson.

🧠 Prediction

We’re of the view that UD Las Palmas will need things to go their way to score goals against this Real Sociedad lineup who we think will score & stay on top.

We therefore think that it’s going to be a good tussle with a 0-1 win for Real Sociedad when the referee blows for full-time.

Should be an interesting one.
