Real Sociedad vs Bournemouth prediction
It’s been an incredible journey for Bournemouth, a side who 20 years ago could only dream of nights like this. They’ll enter the Europa League as one of the favourites to win it when you consider the squad at the disposal of Marco Rose, the former Borussia Dortmund and RB Leipzig head coach. However, Real Sociedad away is a difficult start for the Cherries.
Don’t expect Sociedad to sit back and let Bournemouth dictate terms. We should see an open affair as the Spaniards put Bournemouth under big pressure offensively. As impressive as Bournemouth are from an attacking standpoint, Rose’s men are without a clean sheet this season in the Premier League and backing both teams to score looks a shrewd move.
Real Sociedad vs Bournemouth tip: Both teams to score
