Real Sociedad vs Manchester United Preview

Real Sociedad

Ranked 9th in the La Liga, Imanol Alguacil’s men didn’t have a great start to their UEL campaign as well as they started out with a draw and a loss from their first two matches. Wins against Macabbi Tel Aviv, Ajax, Dynamo Kyiv, and PAOK helped the Spanish club qualify for the playoffs where they defeated Midtjylland 7-3 on aggregate.

Manchester United

Manchester United’s struggles in the Premier League are well documented and Ruben Amorim’s men were knocked out of the FA Cup by Fulham as Victor Lindelof and Joshua Zirkzee missed their penalties while all Fulham players were on target.

The Europa League is the only trophy United can win this season and Amorim would get much more backing in the summer transfer window if he wins a trophy in his maiden season as the Manchester United manager.

Real Sociedad vs Manchester United Over/Under Predictions

The Playoffs aim to facilitate the safest bets for the game. Have a look at the predictions for the game below.

Total goals Over 2.5 @ +112 (MGM Bet): While the previous three fixtures between the two sides have only yielded two goals, we could be in for a free-flowing first leg of the Round of 16 tie as Amorim will be seeking answers from his players in front of goal.

Manchester United Total goals Over 1.5 @ +225 (MGM Bet): Bruno and Garnacho are the only fit players in the Manchester United squad who seem capable of showing a spark and troubling the opposition defenders.

The poor goalscoring record of Rasmus Hojlund and Joshua Zirkzee has impacted the squad morale as well with goals coming from all players except the strikers.

Real Sociedad vs Manchester United Player Picks

Mikel Oyarzabal (To Score a Goal @ +240 as per MGM Bet): The Real Sociedad skipper has 3 goals in the ongoing UEFA Europa League campaign with two of those goals scored against Dynamo Kyiv in the league phase. The 27-year old would like to better his goalscoring records and coming up against an unstable defense is the perfect opportunity for the Spanish international.

Real Sociedad vs Manchester United Match Prediction

Real Sociedad has never beaten an English side at home and La Real would be hoping to break that unfortunate record and script history on Thursday with a win against Manchester United. Ruben Amorim’s men are going through a troubled phase and their last hope of a trophy this season is in Europe as they were knocked out of the FA Cup on Sunday

Our Final Prediction: A 2-1 win for Manchester United away from home should boost the Mancunians’ morale ahead of the second leg at Old Trafford.
