In the group phase, the Spaniards did not exactly dazzle themselves with fame. Only two out of a total of six preliminary rounds were won. These two successes came against Alkmaar (1:0) and Rijeka (1:0). The points were also shared with Alkmaar, Naples and Rijeka. The only defeat was in the first leg against the leader SSC Naples. There was a narrow 0-1 bankruptcy on home soil.
In the end, it was a very tight box in the fight to enter the knockout round. Only nine points were bagged from the six past duels. The lead over the third Alkmaar was only one lean counter. On the other hand, there are only two points missing for the leader from Naples. The offensive scored five goals and the defense was conceded four goals on the other side.
Only one out of three Europa League home games could be won. On the other hand, this one threesome faces a draw and a defeat. Three goals were scored on home soil and the defence was conceded as many goals. Jon Bautista is the best attacker in his own ranks with two goals.
In La Liga, the team of coach Imanol Alguacil goes uphill again. After a negative series of four winless duels, two victories were won last. These came about against Cadiz (4:1) and Getafe (1:0). Through the six points Real Sociedad made the jump to 5th place in the table.

As already mentioned, the Red Devils once started in the Champions League. In group H, the first two matches were played very successfully and led to 2 victories. At PSG, a 2-1 jumped out after 90 minutes and the Bundesliga team from Leipzig was defeated by a 5-0 against the backdrop of their home team. However, the following four games resulted in three defeats. Especially the 2-3 bankruptcy in Leipzig on the last match day was considered very bitter. As a result, ManU slipped from first to third place.
With a total of three victories and three defeats, nine points were scored in the group phase. The offensive is the best in Group H and neted a whole 15 times in the opposing box. On the other hand, 10 goals were conceded to the defence. The gap with the leading duo from Leipzig and Paris is three points. After all, the jump into the Europa League could be achieved as the third place in the table.
Only one of three long distance duels should be won. On the other hand, this one success is faced with two defeats. The offensive scored five goals in the distance and has to score six goals. Marcus Rashford is the best attacker in his own ranks with six goals.
United has also stalled in the Premier League recently. Only one victory results from the last five leagues. There are also three draws and one defeat. On the last match day, the team against West Bromwich did not go beyond 1-1. Manchester finished second in the table. The gap to Manchester City is seven points. The Citizens have played one game less. The chaser Leicester also scored 46 points.

The odds for this duel do not suggest any favourites. Sociedad seems to have caught up with weak performances recently. At Manchester’s Premier League Club, however, there is no direct upward trend. Most recently, both teams faced each other in the top class in 2013. At that time, the points should be divided after a goalless draw. The Red Devils won the first leg 1-0. In the course of our betting tip forecast, goals are expected this time. ManU has already shown in the group phase of the king class that they are always available for a goal and also a goal. For this reason, it is quite appropriate to bet on the market “meet both teams“. The quotas are to be considered lucrative.
