Man Utd vs Real Sociedad Prediction

It’s been a struggle of a campaign for Man Utd on all fronts, but this represents their final hope for silverware, so expect them to go full strength against Real Sociedad, who’ve failed to win any of their last four games in all competitions. Whilst Man Utd are far from stable, at home you would give them more of a chance in Europe.

This should prove a tight encounter and goals could prove to be at a premium. Man Utd played well in Spain and are likely to enjoy more dominance at Old Trafford, although it would be no surprise to see Real Sociedad create their own openings. With that in mind, back a narrow victory for the Red Devils and under 3.5 goals scored
