Real Sociedad vs Roma Prediction & Betting Tips - Europa League
by Devesh Jaganath in Europa League Prediction
A place in the final eight in the UEFA Europa League is up for grabs when Real Sociedad and Roma lock horns at the Reale Arena in the second leg of the Round of 16 competition on Thursday. Following goals by Stephan El Shaarawy and Marash Kumbulla in the first leg, Roma comes into this match carrying a two-goal lead and will be confident that they can hold onto that lead against a Real Sociedad side that has been stumbling in recent weeks.

Despite the two-goal deficit, the hosts are the favorites coming into this match, returning in the region of 2.1 for the win. The draw is showing up at 3.2 on average, while a win for the visitors is currently priced as the outside result at 3.75 and better. The hosts have not won any of their last five matches, which makes the visitors avoiding defeat look like an attractive option at 1.7 on the double chance market for a draw or to win. Real Sociedad's last five home matches, and Roma's last five away matches, all ended with three goals or less. This brings a nice-looking, low-risk option into play on the under 3.5 goals market at odds of 1.3 on average, while the slightly riskier under 2.5 goals market is returning around 1.85 on your wager.

Real Sociedad & Roma Squad Analysis
Umar Sadiq remains a long-term absentee for the hosts with a cruciate ligament rupture which is likely to keep him on the sideline for the rest of the season. Elustondo will also be unavailable for this match with an ankle injury, which should see Le Normand and Pacheco deputize in their absence. As for the visitors, skipper Lorenzo Pelligrini will be unavailable for selection as he suffers from a contused laceration, while Andrea Belotti will also miss out through injury. Diego Llorente and Solbaken will be available for Roma but may have to settle for spots on the bench.

Our Real Sociedad vs Roma Prediction
Real Sociedad comes into this match without a win in their last five matches. They were outplayed for large parts of the first leg and will need a major upturn in their performance if they are to close the deficit in this one. Under Jose Mourinho, Roma has been defensively solid for most of the season, and they will be confident that they can shut out their opponents or, at worst, hold on to a low-scoring draw, which will be enough to see them through. Therefore, our Real Sociedad v Roma prediction is under 3.5 goals.
