Real Sociedad vs Benfica Predictions

• Benfica have lost all three Champions League games to nil this season.
• Real Sociedad have taken seven points from their three Champions League group games.
• Real Sociedad have won 1-0 in three of their last five competitive outings.

Txuri-Urdin can bounce back on Wednesday

Real Sociedad lost for the third time this season at home to Barcelona on Sunday but the Basque club should be able to bounce back and maintain their spot at the top of Champions League Group D.

Txuri-Urdin have beaten Salzburg and Benfica away from home so far and drew with Inter Milan, while they have won seven of their last ten outings in all competitions.

Benfica woes to continue in San Sebastian

Benfica, by contrast, have lost all three Champions League games this season and are yet to score a goal in the competition. Defeat on Wednesday would end their already slim hopes of making it through to the knockout stages.

Defeat is exactly what is expected given their performances so far. They have generated just 0.75 expected goals across their three group games and their opponents have allowed their opponents 1.6 expected goals in their three outings.

A Real Sociedad win looks excellent value at the Reale Arena and a 1-0 correct score prediction also appeals. Benfica have lost all three group games to nil and their last two have been 1-0 defeats, while Real Sociedad have won 1-0 in three of their last five in all competitions.
