Real Sociedad fought from two goals behind to draw 2-2 with Real Betis on Saturday, with a 91st-minute Mikel Oyarzabal penalty earning them a point.
The Copa del Rey winners are guaranteed to play European football next season on account of that success, so there need is not as great as Girona's right now. However, the hosts have really struggled in recent weeks so it is difficult to have any confidence in them.
Girona's slump, combined with Real Sociedad's questionable motivation, pushes towards a conclusion that there will not be goals at both ends in this one.
