Manchester United vs Real Sociedad Preview & Tips - Home win for the Red Devils
- Manchester United unbeaten in Europa League, aiming to leverage strong home form.
- Real Sociedad struggling, plagued by recent away losses.
- High-scoring match expected with both teams consistently finding the net.
Manchester United vs Real Sociedad
Manchester United host Real Sociedad in their Europa League round of 16 second leg with the tie perfectly poised at 1-1.
The Red Devils are showing signs of improvement at the moment and come into this clash with a solid home record in Europe. The visitors have been out of sorts lately and having also struggled on their recent travels, the hosts should claim the upper hand here.
Manchester United Form
It was a decent performance from Manchester United in the first leg with Joshua Zirkzee's second half effort earning them a 1-1 draw. They followed that up with a similar result in the Premier League, playing out a 1-1 scoreline with Arsenal.
United are the only unbeaten team left in the Europa League and have won five of their last six matches in the competition. Ruben Amorim's men have also won their last three home matches in Europe, with the last two in that run producing over 2.5 goals.
While not as prolific as they would like, Manchester United have been solid going forward, scoring in every single Europa League match this season. However, they remain vulnerable at the back and are without a clean sheet in seven of their nine matches in the competition.
Real Sociedad Form
Mikel Oyarzabal's penalty midway through the second half earned Real Sociedad a draw in the first meeting. However, that result is part of a four-match winless streak for Imanol Alguacil’s men, who have been beaten three times in that run, including a 1-0 home defeat to Sevilla over the weekend.
Real Sociedad need a result at Old Trafford but head into Thursday’s clash with a poor record on their travels. They have lost five of their last six away matches across all competitions and have also been beaten in two of their last three Europa League fixtures on the road.
Like the hosts, Real Sociedad have also scored in every single Europa League fixture this season. However, they have failed to keep a clean sheet in all five of their away matches in the competition, with the last four producing over 2.5 goals.
Head to Head
Last week's 1-1 draw means Manchester United are now unbeaten in six of the seven previous meetings with Real Sociedad. However, their only defeat was a 1-0 home loss during the 2022-23 Europa League group stage.
Verdict
Real Sociedad appear to be dipping at the wrong time having lost three of their last four matches and suffering five defeats in their last six away fixtures. Manchester United, on the other hand, have won their last three home matches in Europe and should claim the win here.
Both teams were on target in the first leg and a repeat is expected here. Manchester United have also claimed a win and over 2.5 goals in their last two home matches and a similar outcome is on the cards.
