Real Sociedad vs Roma Prediction: Will the Hosts Take Revenge?

Prediction for the Europa League Real Sociedad vs Roma match, which will take place on March 16th. Who will turn out to be stronger? Check the team conditions! Several betting options are available.

Real Sociedad failed in the first game against Roma. In general, the Spanish team looked good in possession but had many problems with the realization (xG - 0.76). Now the team must get back into the game, especially since the game will take place at the home stadium, where they will play supported by the fans.

Also, Real Sociedad is having an excellent season in La Liga. After 25 rounds, the club is fighting for a place in the top three, sitting fourth with 45 points. Imanol Alguacil's charges have never won in the last three rounds - 0:1 to Valencia, 0:0 to Cadiz, and 1:1 to Mallorca.

Jose Mourinho picked the perfect strategy in the first leg against a Spanish rival. They failed to beat Real Sociedad in every aspect, but Roma's offense was much more interesting. Thus, according to xG statistics, they scored 2.14 goals, which was entirely justified, given the final score of the game (2:0). In the upcoming match, the Portuguese manager is likely to build a defensive game, so as not to allow the opponent to reduce the advantage.

Of course, in Spain, Real Sociedad is already the favorite. After the first match, the hosts need to fix their mistakes. So we expect to see attacking soccer because the difference between two goals is difficult to overcome, especially when their rivals are Jose Mourinho's team. Roma, in turn, will wait for the moment and mistakes of the hosts.
