Granada will host Real Sociedad at Estadio Nuevo Los Carmenes, with three points on the line in La Liga on Thursday.
The home side come into the game on the back of a morale-boosting 1-1 draw away to Barcelona on Monday.
Dominingos Duarte put the visitors ahead in the second minute but Ronald Araujo equalized for the Catalans in the final minute of the game to share the spoils.
Real Sociedad also shared the points in a goalless draw with Sevilla on home turf on Sunday.
The draw means that the Basque side currently sit in fourth spot in the table with 10 points from five matches. Granada sit just outside the relegation places with three points from five matches.
Granada vs Real Sociedad Head-to-Head
Real Sociedad have nine wins from their last 18 matches against Granada, with four matches ending in a draw while the hosts were victorious on five occasions.

The hosts are yet to register their first win of the campaign and have drawn three of their five league games so far. Real Sociedad are unbeaten in La Liga this term, with three consecutive wins to start the season followed by successive draws.
