Real Sociedad vs Sheriff Tiraspol Predictions

• The hosts have won their last five matches.
• Sheriff have seen fewer than three goals in five of their last six games.
• Real Sociedad have opened the scoring in all of their previous five matches.

The wins just keep coming for the hosts

Real Sociedad will be looking to secure a fourth successive victory in the Europa League group stage and they could even guarantee their place in the knockout phase if other results go their way. Everything seems to be coming together for them and they’ve kept two clean sheets in a row. Boss Imanol Alguacil is extremely happy with his side and he’ll want to continue to build momentum.

The Moldovan champions weren’t really in the conversation when it came to which sides would qualify from this group as Real Sociedad and Manchester United were the clear favourites. But they arrive here just three points behind the Red Devils and likely need to claim victory if they’re to challenge for qualification from Group E.

Another home win seems likely

Football is about momentum and Real Sociedad have it right now. The visitors lost the reverse fixture 2-0 against the Spanish outfit and it would not be a surprise to see a repeat of that scoreline. We think a home win with the game seeing fewer than four goals is the way to go.
