Latest Real Sociedad vs Ajax football commentary
Real Sociedad are currently outside the group stage, with one win, one draw and two defeats in four Europa League games this season. La Real started their European campaign with a draw with Nice and a defeat at Anderlecht, before winning 2-1 at Maccabi Tel Aviv. However, they were unable to maintain their winning streak, losing 2-1 to Viktoria Plzen in their most recent away trip, an 89th-minute goal costing them the loss.
Under coach Imanol Alguacil, the team bounced back with wins over Barcelona and Jove Español in La Liga and the Copa del Rey, but a 1-0 defeat to Athletic Bilbao in the Basque derby on Sunday left them 10th in La Liga. Real Sociedad will be looking for a win in their upcoming Europa League tie, but have struggled to win consecutive home games, having won just two of their eight games at the Reale Arena (D1 L5).
After a difficult 2023-24 season, Ajax are in better form under former Nice boss Francesco Farioli. The Italian has kept the team unbeaten in all competitions for 16 games since losing to NAC Breda on August 18. Ajax have taken 10 points from four Europa League group stage games, keeping them three points clear of ninth place in the race for a place in the last 16.
Ajax have taken four points from their first two group games, before thumping Qarabag and Maccabi Tel Aviv with 3-0 and 5-0 wins respectively. With 13 goals from their first four games, Ajax will head to Spain as the top scorers in the group stage, and will hope their attacking prowess helps them secure a ninth win in 10 competitive matches.
