Prediction: 1-1
Real Sociedad
Las Palmas and Real Sociedad will lock horns at Estadio de Gran Canaria in the opening match of the Primeira Liga round 3. La Union Deportiva aim to bounce back from a 1-0 loss to Valencia and we are positive that they will fight tooth and nail against La Real. Defender Daley Sinkgraven has joined the likes Alberto Moleiro, Fabio Gonzalez, and Machin Perez in the recovery room, with Sergi Cardona likely to replace the Dutch defender in the starting XI.
The Basques, on the other hand, head into the match following back-to-back draws with Girona and Celta Vigo. Since both sides are determined to register their first triumph of the season, we believe that there is a big value in betting on draw. You should know that under 2.5 goals have been netted in four of their last six meetings in all competitions. As for the away team, both Umar Sadiq and Mikel Oyarzabal are pushing for a start, while all Mikel Merino, Aritz Elustondo, David Silva, and Martin Merquelanz are sidelined with injuries.
Highlighted Player (Mikel Oyarzabal):
Intelligence is not an attribute you will find in Mikel Oyarzabal’s stats with Real Sociedad but this tricky winger is a highly knowledgeable winger who will use both brain and feet while playing. For a player born in Eibar, who made his first steps in his hometown club, it was always going to be a choice between Athletic Bilbao and Real Sociedad for Oyarzabal.
La Real saw their chance and grabbed this gem of a player at a young age, helping him develop into a proper professional throughout their youth ranks. Mikel Oyarzabal has spent the entirety of his senior career with the Basque behemoths where he’d use his ability to fill in a number of positions up top much to his own benefit.
Oyarzabal’s positioning and movement are work of a tactical genius, whereas it is his nous to find details to exploit that best define him as a player. Having come through the youth categories of the Spanish national team, Oyarzabal also has a senior cap next to his name. It was in 2016 that he also represented the Basque region, scoring on his debut to cap a 3-1 win over Tunisia.
Highlighted Team (Las Palmas):
Las Palmas are a Spanish football club based in the Canary Islands. The club was founded on 22 August, 1949. Los Amarillos play in Spanish La Liga and the team’s home ground is Estadio Gran Canaria. The stadium was opened in 2003 and it’s current capacity is 32,150. Miguel Angel Ramirez is the club’s chairman and the club’s main rivals are Tenerife.
Las Palmas impressed in the 2015/2016 La liga campaign, with the team finishing the season in 11th place in the standings. However, it has to be noted that los Amarillos finished the 1968/1969 Primera Division campaign in second place in the table, 11 points behind Spanish giants Real Madrid.
