Manchester Utd vs Real Sociedad Prediction & Tips
This season, the Mancunians are showing perhaps the worst results in the history of the Premier League: after 27 games, they have only 33 points. In this scenario, the team runs the risk of not only staying out of the top six, but of not even being in the top half of the table. The only chance to save the season is to win the Europa League, and it is in this tournament that Ruben Amorim is putting his main focus, motivating his players exclusively for success.
The first match ended in a draw (1-1), which is quite satisfying for the Mancunians, as they avoided defeat in Spain. Now, to advance, the English only need to win by any score. An interesting fact: ‘Manchester United’ is the only club in the Champions League and Europa League that has not yet lost in this European season (5 wins and 4 draws). If the team advances to the quarter-finals, it will be the fourth time they have reached this stage of the Europa League in the last five years.
The Basques have put themselves in a difficult situation, letting victory slip away in the first match at their home stadium. Moreover, their winless run in the Europa League has now reached four consecutive matches, which clearly does not add to their confidence ahead of the trip to England. The only chance to reach the quarter-finals is to win away, as the last similar stage of European competitions was conquered by the team 35 years ago. In the event of a draw in normal time, the match will go into extra time.
However, in European competitions, the team has shown decent results: in the last seven Europa League matches, only one defeat (5 wins, 1 draw). Away from home, however, they do not look so confident: in their last six away games in La Liga and Europa League, they suffered five defeats, managing to beat only ‘Midtjylland’. With these away results, securing a ticket to the quarter-finals will be incredibly difficult.
