UEFA Europa League picks for Man United vs. Real Sociedad
Before the game, consider expert Europa League picks from SportsLine’s Brandt Sutton. Sutton, a former college soccer player and seasoned soccer editor, analyzes managerial tactics, projected lineups, and historical data to provide well-informed predictions.
For the Real Sociedad vs. Man United game, Sutton recommends betting on Over 2.5 goals at +116 odds. He points out Real Sociedad’s strong home scoring record, with two or more goals in each of their last four UEL home games, including a 5-2 victory over Midtjylland in their previous Europa League home match. Manchester United has also shown offensive capability, scoring two or more goals in six of their eight group stage matches. However, their defense has been less consistent, failing to keep a clean sheet since January 30, suggesting Real Sociedad has a good chance to score.
Sutton notes, ‘Both teams have scored in six of Man United’s eight Europa League matches this season, making Over 2.5 goals a strong possibility for Thursday.’ Stream the game here and check out full soccer coverage on CBS Sports Golazo Network.
