Real Sociedad vs Napoli Predictions

• Napoli have gone three games without a clean sheet
• Real Sociedad have scored 11 goals in their last four matches
• Napoli have found the net twice in both their away games so far this season

High-flying pair to share the spoils

This is the kind of tie you don’t often see in the Europa League: the top side in Spain vs second in Serie A.

Both of these sides have made impressive starts to the campaign, but Napoli are in need of a result after a shock 1-0 loss at home to AZ in their group opener. Defeat in Spain could condemn them to an early European exit.

Defensively the visitors have been quite suspect, failing to keep a clean sheet in their last three games after a 6-0 hammering of a COVID-depleted Genoa.

Real Sociedad are well placed to take advantage after scoring 11 goals in their last four matches. Meanwhile, Napoli have scored twice in their two away trips so far, which makes both teams to score our first prediction here.

With both sides looking for vital points and given the step up in the standard of opposition for the pair we don’t expect either to be quite so free-scoring. We’re backing the pair to play out a 1-1 draw with Napoli currently winless in eight matches against Spanish opponents in all European competitions.
