Predicting the score of the match MU vs Real Sociedad: Home field is no longer an advantage

With home advantage, MU is rated higher, but Real Sociedad is not an easy opponent to defeat. Let's analyze the factors that can affect the match result and give the most accurate score prediction.

MU's form: Shining in Europa League but unstable domestically

Despite facing many difficulties in the Premier League, MU has had quite an impressive record in the Europa League this season. The Red Devils are still unbeaten after 9 matches (5 wins, 4 draws), and have won all 3 recent home matches. This is a great advantage that helps coach Ruben Amorim and his team feel confident before the match against Sociedad.

However, MU's biggest problem is the squad. The English team lost a series of key players due to injury, including Lisandro Martinez, Amad Diallo, Luke Shaw, Mason Mount, Jonny Evans and possibly Harry Maguire. This will greatly affect their defensive ability.

In addition, MU's domestic form is still very worrying. After the 1-1 draw with Arsenal, they are ranked 14th in the Premier League, 13 points behind the top 5. If they cannot qualify for the Champions League through the domestic league, MU will be forced to put all their hopes on the Europa League.

Real Sociedad: Unstable but still has a chance

Real Sociedad are going through a crisis period after losing three consecutive matches in La Liga, including a 0-1 defeat to Sevilla last weekend. The Spanish team has dropped to 11th place in the rankings, 15 points behind the top 4 and facing many difficulties in the race for a place in the Champions League next season.

However, Sociedad still have grounds to hope for a surprise. They are unbeaten in their last two visits to Old Trafford (W1 D1) and even kept a clean sheet in both matches. Sociedad are the only team to beat MU at home in the Europa League in over 5 years.

Furthermore, Sociedad will have the return of key players such as Alvaro Odriozola, Arsen Zakharyan and Martin Zubimendi, helping them have the strongest squad to face MU.

Score prediction

Based on analysis of form, strength and history of confrontation, this match could be a tight affair. MU has home advantage but it will not be easy to overwhelm Sociedad, while the Spanish team will play tight defense to look for counter-attack opportunities.

Football sites predict the score as follows:

- Sportsmole: MU 1-1 Real Sociedad
