Head to Head


Manchester United have a 3-1 advantage against Real Sociedad with 2 draws in 6 matches. 

They last met in November 2022, the game being won by Man Utd 1-0 in San Sebastian. 

Real Sociedad Form 


Real Sociedad have been inconsistent in recent weeks, winning twice and losing three times in their last five matches across competitions. 

They had a strong spell in mid-February, securing back-to-back victories against Midtjylland 5-2 in the Europa League (7-3 on aggregate) and Leganes 3-0 in La Liga. 

However, their form dipped with two consecutive defeats, a 1-0 loss at home to Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey semifinal first leg, followed by a heavy 4-0 defeat to Barcelona last weekend, where Aritz Elustondo was sent off just 17 minutes into the match. 

Real Sociedad collected 13 points in the Europa League group stage and advanced as the 13th-ranked team. 

Manchester United Form 


Like their upcoming opponents, Manchester United have struggled for consistency in February, managing just two wins in their last five matches. 

The Red Devils suffered a disappointing 1-0 defeat to Tottenham in mid-February before barely salvaging a 2-2 draw at Everton after trailing by two goals at halftime, with Bruno Fernandes and Manuel Ugarte finding the net. 

Their winless run ended with a 3-2 victory over Ipswich Town in the Premier League, but they were knocked out of the FA Cup last weekend, losing to Fulham on penalties after a 1-1 draw in regular time. 

Team News 


Real Sociedad have three names on their injury list. Alvaro Odriozola, Arsen Zakharyan and Jon Pacheco are confirmed to miss this match. 

As for the visitors, Amad Diallo, Johnny Evans, Kobbie Mainoo, Lisandro Martinez and Mason Mount are unavailable for this clash due to injuries. 

Verdict

Man Utd have won just three of their 13 EPL road games this season. Real Sociedad do their best work at home, and I will back them to gain advantage in the first tie on Thursday. Under 2.5 goals is also tipped.
