THE PREDICTION
Real Sociedad managed to qualify for the knockouts of the Europa League in dramatic circumstances in midweek as a late equaliser in Naples offered them hope if AZ were to lose. AZ were level until they lost to Rijeka in stoppage time meaning the Basque side reached the Last 32 of the Europa League. In the league, they had been showing signs of fatigue and back-to-back low scoring draws against Villarreal and Alaves has emphasised that. They fielded a fairly changed side due to injuries for Asier Illaramendi, Mikel Oyarzabal and David Silva. They come up against an Eibar side who have had less than four goals in all of their games this season and less than three in nine. This solidity and rigidity has meant their away form has benefitted from opportunistic counter-attacks. They have won at Real Betis, Sevilla and Real Valladolid - they’re unbeaten away from home, too. A weakened Sociedad team means Eibar will be in with a good chance of sneaking another victory on the road. What looks certain is that under 2.5 goals is likely.
