It’s matchday three in the league phase of the UEFA Europa League (UEL), and two teams stacked close together on the points tally – Lillestrom and Real Sociedad – will play on Thursday. This match at the Arasen Stadion between the 22nd-placed ‘Canaries’ and ‘La Real’ could turn out to be a tight affair at both ends, with our match prediction backing BTTS.
Both teams have one point each in the league phase (D1, L1) – coming in 1-1 draws, respectively, on matchday two, while losing 2-1 on matchday one.
Lillestrom won 2-0 away at Sandefjord last weekend to break a string of consecutive draws. They are now unbeaten in four competitive games (W2, D2), although one of those draws was 1-1 in the UEL on matchday two against Sparta Prague.
The challenge for the hosts is to improve their home form – they won just one match within 90 minutes from their last seven competitive matches (D2, L5).
Sociedad thrashed Malaga 5-2 away from home in La Liga last weekend to bounce back from the 1-1 away draw at Royale Union on matchday two. They also carry a three-game unbeaten run (W2, D1) coming into this match but are better on the road lately. They are unbeaten on their last four away competitive matches (W3, D1), which may perhaps give them an edge.

Our Lillestrøm vs Real Sociedad Prediction
Lillestrom have struggled in this competition, winning only three of their 16 UEFA Cup or Europa League matches. With goals being a common factor in most of their recent home fixtures, Sociedad travel here with high hopes of extending that pattern. Besides that, Sociedad have travelled confidently and could fancy their chances on this trip – if not for a win, at least for some goals.
Ten of Sociedad’s last 13 matches in UEFA competitions have seen both teams score, which is likely to repeat here. That’s why our Lillestrom vs Real Sociedad prediction saw BTTS.
