For our prediction in this last 16 fixture featuring PSG vs Real Sociedad, both teams are facing off for the first time, and we will be going for the more experienced European side in this competition in recent times, PSG. The French team have looked solid at home this season, winning all but one of their three UCL home games. Back PSG to win 2-0.
For our second prediction, we will be keeping it safe with our choice of under 3.5 goals scored in the game. Real Sociedad are a tough team to break down, conceding just twice in their six group games and none of PSG’s home games in the group stages produced more than three goals
PSG are perennial underachievers in this competition and have been woeful when it matters most, they have been knocked out of round of 16 five times in the last seven seasons. PSG progressed to the round of 16 in nail-biting fashion, scraping through to finish second with eight points, edging out AC Milan by goal difference in Group F. On the league front, PSG are almost running away with the title, as their win against Lille helped extend their lead at the top to eleven points.
Real Sociedad meanwhile finished top of their group, holding off defending Champions Inter Milan in Group D to emerge as group winners. The Spanish side are competing at this stage for the first time since 2003/2004 and having already made an impression in the group stages, will be looking to record an upset here. They sit seventh in La liga after losing to Osasuna over the weekend.
