Real Sociedad vs Dynamo Kyiv prediction 12.12.2024 | Europa League

• Competition: Europa League
• Date: Thursday, 12th December 2024
• Kickoff: 20:00 UK / 21:00 CET
• Venue: Reale Arena (San Sebastian)

Real Sociedad have been among the top six teams in Spain in the past five years. This year, "The White and Blues" are looking good once again as they are in 6th with 24 points from 16 rounds. In the Europa League, Real Sociedad are in 16th place, with seven points in five rounds. While they weren't spectacular, they are still in the spots that lead to the next stage of the competition but just two points away from dropping outside the top 24 spots. So, winning points against Dynamo is a must.

Dynamo Kyiv are one of the best teams in Ukraine but have failed to win the league trophy since the 2020/21 season. Even though they are doing great this year and are in the top spot, their performances in the EL have been atrocious. Right now, they are the last-placed team in the EL and the only one without points after the first five rounds. They are under pressure to win all three points because reaching the next stage will be impossible if they fail.

Real Sociedad vs Dynamo Kyiv pick: Real Sociedad to win and cover the -1.5 AH spread

Real Sociedad won four in a row in all competitions and six out of the last seven games against excellent teams like Barcelona, Real Betis, or Ajax. Additionally, four out of those six wins were by two or more goals difference.

Dynamo Kyiv have been absolutely terrible in the Europa League, losing all four games while scoring only one goal - 0.25 per game. So, it is unreal to expect they can secure a positive result against an in-form Real Sociedad.

Considering what we have seen from Dynamo Kyiv in the EL and Real Sociedad's excellent form, we believe that the hosts should secure a comfortable win.
