Manchester United and Real Sociedad are each battling to reach the quarter-finals of the Europa League.
After a 1-1 draw in Spain last week, it is all to play for on Thursday evening at Old Trafford!
There are a range of markets and odds available for your football bets, but make sure you always pick a trusted and reputable sports betting site.
Manchester United vs Real Sociedad Preview
The first leg in Spain was far from a thriller, with Mikel Oyarzabal’s late penalty cancelling out Joshua Zirkzee’s opener.
Neither side showed the best version of themselves and it will be interesting to see how each approaches the second leg.
With home advantage, the onus should be on United to take the game by the scruff of the neck and look to keep their flailing season alive.
Ruben Amorim’s side enter the fixture on the back of a morale-boosting 1-1 draw with Arsenal, a match which they could have won right at the death were it not for David Raya’s heroics.
In contrast, Real Sociedad’s last outing saw them suffer a shock 1-0 home defeat to Sevilla, which means the La Liga outfit have failed to win any of the last four across all competitions.
Furthermore, United’s record in Europe this season is pretty good, especially when compared with their dismal Premier League showing.
The Red Devils are yet to lose in the Europa League, winning five of their eight League Phase matches.
Can they make it victory number six against Real Sociedad?

Manchester United vs Real Sociedad Betting Tips
Bruno Fernandes to score anytime @ 3.75
Time and time again, Fernandes rescues United. The Portuguese playmaker scored a sensational free-kick against Arsenal and is always his side’s biggest goal threat.
Manchester United to score over 1.5 goals @ 2.20
If United can land the first blow at Old Trafford, we expect them to land a few more and secure qualification for the quarter-finals with relative ease. Real Sociedad’s defence is pretty strong, but there is still a little bit of magic in the Old Trafford air for big European nights.
First half result – Draw @ 2.05
That being said, we expect a very cagey first half, with both sides well aware of the season-defining potential of this contest. United are 14th in the Premier League table, while Real Sociedad – who are at least in the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey – sit 11th in La Liga.
