Real Sociedad vs Man Utd Prediction

Real Sociedad have the incentive to reach a UEFA Europa League final that is being played at their arch-rivals Athletic Club’s San Mames as they begin the knockouts with a clash against Ruben Amorim’s Manchester United at the Reale Arena this week.

Real Sociedad are in the knockout stages of the UEFA Europa League and the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey but performances have been underwhelming throughout the campaign as they sit firmly in the middle-of-the-table in La Liga after a 4-0 loss to Barcelona at the weekend, as well as being 1-0 down in the semi-finals of the aforementioned Copa against Real Madrid.

Manchester United continued their fairly humiliating season at the weekend as the Red Devils were knocked out of the FA Cup at the fifth round stage by Fulham on penalties at Old Trafford. Their best performances and results under Amorim have come in the UEFA Europa League and yet those performances have remained underwhelming and unconvincing.

Real Sociedad lack goals as their intense press often denies space for either side and Manchester United lack any sort of cohesion so a close first-leg appears most likely here.

Real Sociedad vs Man Utd Tip: Under 2.5 goals
