Bet on Sociedad vs Man United

Can Man United Secure First-Leg Victory?

Sociedad finished the league phase in 13th after four wins, three defeats, and a draw. They booked their place in the play-offs, facing Danish side Midtjylland. After a 2-1 win in Denmark, a 5-2 home success saw the Spanish side go through 7-3 on aggregate.

Man United have not had a lot to shout about this season, but their form in the Europa League has been solid. The Red Devils finished in third, just a point away from top spot. The Manchester giants picked up five wins and three draws and are the only unbeaten team in the competition.

Imanol Alguacil’s side have lost their last two to Real Madrid and Barcelona. After a 1-0 Copa del Rey reverse to Real, the White and Blues were hammered 4-0 at Barca in La Liga last Sunday.

Man United were dumped out of the FA Cup by Fulham last weekend, but their form has improved. Ruben Amorim’s men have won five of their last nine in all competitions.

The pair clashed in the Europa League in the 2022-23 season. Sociedad picked up a memorable 1-0 win at Old Trafford, with Brais Mendez netting the only goal.

The Premier League side got revenge at Reale Arena a couple of months later, as Alejandro Garnacho’s effort was enough for a 1-0 United victory. Sociedad’s win in Manchester in 2022 is their only triumph in this fixture.

Real Sociedad vs Manchester United Betting Tips & Predictions

All away games in Europe are tough, but Man United will fancy their chances of maintaining their unbeaten Europa League record by leaving Spain with a win (3.75).

Captain Bruno Fernandes has been a bright spark in a bleak season for the United. The Portugal international scored in the win over Rangers, and you can get 4.00 for the 30-year-old to net in this one.
