Current Form
Real Sociedad's Current Form
Real Sociedad have been unable to replicate their previous season's success, currently on a three-match winless run following a tough 1-0 home defeat against Real Madrid.
With six home wins from 16 matches, consistency has eluded them, making every remaining match crucial as they strive to retain their sixth position in La Liga.
Las Palmas' Current Form
Las Palmas, on the other hand, have been grappling with a significant downturn in form.
With six consecutive losses and no victories since early February, they are in a precarious position despite being relatively safe from relegation.
The team desperately needs to rediscover their earlier form to finish the season on a positive note.
