Real Sociedad host Man United at the Allianz Stadium (Turin) in the first round of the knockout stage of the Europa League and the match kicks off at 5.55 pm (UK) on Thursday, February 18. Read our reasons for Sociedad vs Man United prediction and betting tips.
United faced the side from northern Spain twice before, but not for seven years, and it's been all change at the Basque club since then. Real Sociedad currently lead La Liga and have compiled one of their best squads since they last won the Spanish top division, way back in 1982. It's been a slightly different story in Europe, where Sociedad were left unseeded after finishing second, and will now face United. The Red Devils are currently 3rd in Premier League with 1 point short behind Leicester with a game in hand, despite keeping the good form run
With traditional giants Real Madrid and Barcelona struggling for consistency, Real Sociedad are one of a number of clubs to have taken advantage, and they currently sit top of La Liga on goal difference from Atletico Madrid. The Basque club have won 7, drawn 5, and lost one of their 13 matches so far and, aided by the attacking potency of Mikel Oyarzabal and Portu, they are the league's top scorers, with 23 goals. La Real are also looking good at the back, conceding only six times - and never more than once in a game.
Real Sociedad were drawn in a tough Europa League group with Napoli, AZ Alkmaar, and Rijeka. With minutes remaining of their final Group F match, Real were losing 1-0 to Napoli and heading out, only for Willian Jose to strike. As it turned out, they would have qualified anyway as AZ lost to Rijeka late on in Croatia, but ultimately the Whites and Blues finished second, behind Napoli.
As for Man United, Solskjaer’s side fell 3-2 to Leipzig in their clash against RB Leipzig resulting in them being back to UEFA Europa League. They did well in the competition last time out, finishing the last season's Europa League competition also in neutral venues in Germany in August, falling to a 1-0 defeat to Sevilla at the semi-final stage and their most recent visit to Turin saw them win 2-1 against Juventus in the 2018/19 Champions League group stages.
Solskjaer faces a dilemma whether to rest players in the Europa League, in order to keep them fit for their domestic fixtures as United are looking to challenge for the title and go all the way in the FA Cup this season. Manchester United have often started games slowly and that plays directly into the hands of Real Sociedad, who have made a habit of opening the scoring against their opponents. However, the Spanish side will be without their star player Oyarzabal, so United might adopt a more adventurous approach.

Real Sociedad meet Man United only for the third time ever. The previous two matches were part of a 2013/14 UEFA Champions League group stage where Man Utd won 1-0 at Old Trafford, while it was a goalless draw in Spain.
Man United have lost only one of their last 16 UEFA Europa League knockout matches (W10 D5), losing in their most recent game against Sevilla in the semi-final last season. Moreover, their record against rivals from Spain is nothing to write home about – they are winless in their last nine European matches against Spanish opponents (D3 L6). On the other hand, Real Sociedad have lost four of their last five knockout matches in major UEFA European competition (D1) and are not exactly European royalty.
