Evaluating the possibility of MU vs Real Sociedad winning: An unpredictable scenario

With home advantage, MU is rated higher, but Real Sociedad is not an easy opponent. Let's analyze the winning ability of the two teams based on form, strength and history of confrontation.

MU has home field advantage but unstable performance

Despite facing difficulties in the Premier League, MU still showed a positive face in the Europa League with an unbeaten record since the beginning of the tournament (won 5, drew 4). Notably, at Old Trafford, the Red Devils only lost 1 of the last 28 matches in the European arena, which brought great confidence to coach Ruben Amorim and his team.

However, MU's biggest problem right now is injuries. They will be without many key players such as Lisandro Martinez, Amad Diallo, Luke Shaw, Mason Mount, Jonny Evans and Harry Maguire's ability to play is still uncertain. This greatly affects the defense which has not been really solid in recent times.

Furthermore, MU's domestic form is worrying. After a 1-1 draw with Arsenal, the team is still stuck in 14th place in the Premier League, 13 points behind the top 5. If they want to qualify for the Champions League next season, they must put all their determination into the Europa League.

Real Sociedad: Tough but not easy to beat

Real Sociedad are in a slump after losing three consecutive La Liga matches, including a 1-0 defeat to Sevilla last weekend. Winning just one of their last nine matches has left them in 11th place in the table, 15 points behind the Champions League places.

However, the Spanish representative still has an important support: the head-to-head record against MU at Old Trafford. In the last 2 visits here, Sociedad kept a clean sheet (won 1, drew 1). Notably, they are the only team to beat MU at home in the Europa League in the past 5 years.

In addition, Real Sociedad also received good news when some key players such as Alvaro Odriozola, Arsen Zakharyan and Martin Zubimendi have recovered from injuries and are ready to play. If they take advantage of MU's instability, Sociedad can absolutely make a difference.

Predict the results

Based on the current situation, MU is still the team with a higher chance of winning thanks to home advantage and the desire for Europa League. However, with the absence of many important players and poor form in the domestic league, they may have a difficult time against Sociedad.

Score prediction:

- Sportsmole: MU 1-1 Real Sociedad

- WhoScore: MU 2-1 Real Sociedad

- Nghe An Newspaper: MU 1-1 Real Sociedad

The possibility of a draw is very high, but if MU takes advantage of the opportunity and maintains their composure, they can completely win by a narrow margin. Meanwhile, Sociedad, although not in good form, still have enough ability to surprise an unstable MU.
