Real Sociedad – PSV

It all comes down to the last day for Real Sociedad and PSV in their Europa League campaigns as they meet at Reale Arena on Thursday. Monaco, currently first in the standings, are assured of the winner’s spot in Group B. A win for PSV would seal a two-top finish for them, while a win for Real Sociedad would guarantee a place in the knockout round.

Real Sociedad have lost two La Liga games in a row, failing to score in both. Real Madrid defeated them 2-0 at home on Sunday. PSV are third in the Eredivisie and secured a 4-1 win over Utrecht on Saturday.

This will just be the second competitive meeting between the two sides. In the reverse fixture in September at Philips Stadium, the teams played out a 2-2 draw. Real Sociedad might have struggled in their recent outings but they have a solid record at home this season and have lost just once across all competitions. PSV are also unbeaten in their away fixtures in the Europa League. A low-scoring draw is our prediction for this high-stakes fixture.
