A place in the quarter-finals of the 2024-25 Europa League will be at stake when Manchester United and La Liga side Real Sociedad meet at Old Trafford on Thursday.
Man United come into the game full of confidence after holding Arsenal to a 1:1 draw in the Premier League on Sunday. Ruben Amorim's side went into the break with a first-half lead thanks to a goal from Bruno Fernandes on the stroke of half-time, but Arsenal came back in the second half through Rice. United are now without a win in three games - all 1-1 draws, including the first leg of Thursday's game with Sociedad.
Real Sociedad meanwhile continued their recent run of poor form in the Spanish top flight last weekend when they were beaten 1:0 by Sevilla. The White and Blues are now without a win in four games and failed to score in all but one of those outings. However, Imanol Alguacil's side will be buoyed by the fact that they won their last Europa League away game, when they defeated Midtylland 2-1 in the play-offs.
Manchester United vs Real Sociedad Betting Tips: Under 2.5 goals
Amorim and Co are struggling for goals at the moment, with the Red Devils finding the back of the net three times in their last three encounters. All three games ended with less than three goals scored.
Meetings between Man United and Real Sociedad are not known for producing many goals either. In fact, just nine goals have been scored in the last seven European meetings between the two sides. Bets on under 2.5 goals won in six of those encounters.
- Best Tip: Under 2.5 goals
- Manchester United vs Real Sociedad prediction: 1-0
