Two teams locked together in the UEFA Europa League standings will battle it out in Norway on Thursday evening, when Lillestrom will host Real Sociedad. Neither team has won in the UEL this season, with both teams sitting on one point after two games. Last week in this competition, the Spaniards tied 1-1 in Belgium, doing so against Union SG, while the men from Norway also tied 1-1, doing so against Sparta Prague.
In the betting, 'Over 2.5 Goals & Both Teams to Score' is the smartest approach, especially with odds of -105 on offer. Neither team has shown an amazing amount in terms of defensive solidity in recent weeks, while both have also been in scoring form, so there seems to be slightly less reason for this not to be a relatively high-scoring game than the early market believes.

Our Lillestrøm vs Real Sociedad Prediction
It really has been a case of goals galore for Real Sociedad on the road in recent times. In their last five away games, 24 goals have been scored. That's an average of 4.80 goals per game. In four of those five games, at least five goals have gone in. If we combine this with the scoring and conceding form of the hosts, this game really does appeal as a more likely high-scorer than the early market predicts.
Based on the recent efforts of both, with the goals flying in, odds of -105 look far too lenient. Take anything above -133.
Our Lillestrom vs Real Sociedad Pick: Over 2.5 Goals & Both Teams to Score.
