A cup tie for Real Sociedad
Real Sociedad’s future in the Europa League will depend on the outcome of this match. To clarify, PSV are second with eight points while Sociedad are third with six points. Therefore, the only way for Real to qualify is to win. A glance at the White and Blues recent home matches shows Real drew their two previous home games in the UEL group stage. Moreover, in all competitions, Sociedad are winless in their last four games on home soil.
Notably, Real Sociedad are one of the teams with the least goals scored in their group fixtures so far. To demonstrate, in Sociedad’s last ten home matches, two or fewer goals were scored. Moreover, Real’s goal share in those ten matches was seven, while they shipped five at the opposite end. Overall, Sociedad are having a fine season, however, they have just one win in their last five games. Hence they need to regroup for this crucial game.
PSV Eindhoven playing for a draw.
PSV need a draw to secure the second spot in Group B. Markedly, the Red and Whites are in very good form of late as they are undefeated in six games. Moreover, PSV had one loss in five away games and that was to Ajax 5-0, however, they are undefeated in their last two trips.
PSV were off to a great start to their season, winning six straight matches. However, the Red and Whites went through an unstable period during October during which they suffered some heavy defeats. Certainly, their defense has shown some very shaky moments as they have one clean sheet in their last seven away games.
Real Sociedad vs PSV Eindhoven Prediction
Real Sociedad are likely to attack from the off on Thursday and PSV could have plenty of defending to do as a result. However, as we saw in the preview both teams are not good in that kind of scenario. Sociedad’s scoring average is very low, while PSV’s defense is conceding regularly.
Nonetheless, the bookies find the Spanish side the favorites to claim the much-needed victory and are paying 1.79. Despite the fact that Sociedad lost their last two matches while PSV are undefeated in six, coach Alguacil’s team are expected to win this match.
Still, we will not risk it and choose a double chance outcome combined with total goals scored bet. With the tension high in the match, we think we won’t see more than three goals in this one.
