Prediction: Paris Saint-Germain to win
Betting Tip: Under 2.5 Goals
Real Sociedad, making only their second appearance in the Champions League knockout rounds, showed promise in the first half at Parc des Princes. However, they failed to convert chances early on.
Kylian Mbappe and Bradley Barcola extended Paris Saint-Germain’s lead in the second half. Real Sociedad now trails by two goals.
Their historical record isn’t favorable, having lost in their only other knockout round appearance since 1992.
Recent form isn’t on Real Sociedad’s side either. They suffered defeats in three consecutive matches.
They managed just one win in their last nine outings across all competitions.
Additionally, they haven’t won at home in seven matches, stretching back to November.
PSG, aiming to break their last-16 curse in the Champions League, need to avoid a collapse at Reale Arena to progress towards their first European title.
Despite a recent draw in Ligue 1, PSG arrives in Spain with a 20-match unbeaten run.
Gianluigi Donnarumma made crucial saves in their recent matches, but attention was on Mbappe, who was substituted at halftime.
PSG enters the second leg ahead on aggregate for the 10th time but has only advanced in five of the previous nine occasions.
They haven’t kept a clean sheet in 12 Champions League away matches against Spanish teams.
However, with just two goals conceded in their last six away games, PSG, led by Luis Enrique, should avoid a repeat of their historic defeat to Barcelona in 2016-17.
