On Thursday evening, in front of a home crowd, Real Sociedad begins another continental campaign. In the UEFA Europa League, they'll take on Bournemouth of the English Premier League, who are back on the continent following a fine campaign. The Cherries have started the season in decent form, despite having a new head coach, and they've shown more than enough to suggest that they can hurt a home team lacking defensive confidence.
The best betting approach ahead of Thursday's clash in San Sebastián is 'Bournemouth to Score Over 1.5 Goals'. The hosts come into this clash having struggled to keep things tight at the weekend, and off the back of that rather dismal defensive effort, they could easily struggle to contain a strong EPL team, a team that has lots of offensive quality, a team that has been scoring plenty of goals in recent weeks.

Our Real Sociedad vs Bournemouth Prediction
As touched on above, the hosts won't arrive full of confidence, especially in a defensive sense. They were torn apart at the weekend, despite playing on home soil, and they've now conceded five goals in two games, looking very weak at guarding against the break. The visitors are strong in transition, and they can definitely hurt teams on the counter, so much so that they look a little leniently priced to score multiple goals.
Marco Rose's men will go to San Sebastian in hot scoring form, and given the odds on offer, it's worth betting that they continue to do the damage in the final third.
Our Real Sociedad vs Bournemouth Pick: Bournemouth to Score Over 1.5 Goals.
