Command Analysis
Real Sociedad
SpainCurrent form
Real Sociedad have shown improvement after a recent slump in results, with an important 2-0 win over Real Betis and a solid 3-0 win away to Leganes. These results point to a recovery in their attacking potential and defensive solidity.
The Basques also showed their best side in the Europa League, confidently beating Dynamo Kyiv (3:0). However, stability over time remains a problem: Real Sociedad lost the derby against Athletic Bilbao (0:1) and had difficulties creating chances in previous matches. The match against Las Palmas will be key to consolidating the positive dynamics.

Las Palmas
SpainCurrent form
After a stunning 2-1 win over Valladolid in the last round, Las Palmas continue to struggle for stability in La Liga. The team has won two of its last five matches, including tough encounters against Barcelona (2-1) and Mallorca (3-2).
Despite improvements in attack, especially thanks to the efforts of Alberto Moleiro and Sandro Ramirez, defensive problems remain, with the team conceding 10 goals in five games. Las Palmas have shown persistence on the road, but the lack of a stable defense could be decisive in the upcoming meeting with Real Sociedad .

Interesting trends for betting
- Las Palmas have scored in each of their last three matches, including against the leaders
- Five of the team last six games have seen more than 2.5 goals scored.

In the last three head-to-head encounters, both teams have scored on two occasions and that scenario is likely to happen again, especially given the good form of players like Takefusa Kubo for Sociedad and Alberto Moleiro for Las Palmas.

We assume that the teams will not be able to determine the strongest, and the match will end peacefully.
