Match preview: Manchester United vs Real Sociedad

Manchester United and Real Sociedad face off at Old Trafford, in a clash for the 2nd leg of this stage of the Europa League (Round of 16), following their 1-1 draw in the first leg. The record of direct encounters over the last three years between these two teams has been evenly matched, with one draw and one victory for each in their last three meetings. It is essential to consider the home/away factor, as both teams have shown significantly different performances in home and away games.

Team analysis: Manchester United

Manchester United is undoubtedly stronger when playing at home, with a record of 4 wins, 6 draws, and 5 losses in their last 30 away matches, scoring 19 goals and conceding 21. In contrast, they have achieved 8 wins, 2 draws, and 5 losses on home soil, with 27 goals scored and 22 conceded. They enter this match on the back of a 1-1 draw against Arsenal in the Premier League. Notably, Manchester United have not lost any of their last 9 games in this competition, winning 3 and drawing 1 at home in the Europa League. Their defence hasn’t been particularly solid, allowing goals in 7 out of the last 9 matches, but they’ve been consistently scoring, netting in every one of those games. The team often manages to score first, having done so in 8 of their last 9 Europa League matches, returning to the changing room with a lead on 4 occasions.

Manchester United has recorded a 1-1 draw with Arsenal at home in a Premier League fixture. In the Europa League round of 16, they also drew 1-1 against Real Sociedad. The English side typically plays in a 4-3-3 formation, with Joshua Zirkzee, Rasmus Højlund, and Alejandro Garnacho leading their attack. Bruno Fernandes is a pivotal figure, providing creativity in offensive plays. Unfortunately, manager Rubén Amorim is unable to call upon Jonny Evans, Altay Bayındır, Mason Mount, Kobbie Mainoo, Luke Shaw, Amad Diallo, and Lisandro Martínez due to injuries.

Team analysis: Real Sociedad

Real Sociedad has typically performed better at their home ground, with a record of 6 wins, 1 draw, and 8 losses in their last 30 games as a visitor; compared to 10 wins, 2 draws, and 3 losses at home. Their most recent match ended in a 0-1 loss to Sevilla in La Liga. In their last 5 Europa League away matches, Real Sociedad has managed 2 wins, 1 draw, and 2 losses. They have also allowed goals in 7 of their last 10 matches, indicating a lack of defensive solidity; however, their attack has been efficient, scoring in every match during this competition. Notably, they have conceded 8 of their 22 goals in a specific period, between the 31st and 45th minutes.

Real Sociedad comes into this match following a 0-1 defeat at home to Sevilla in a match valid for La Liga. In the first leg of the Europa League Round of 16, they drew 1-1 against Manchester United. The Spanish team generally adopts a 4-3-3 tactical setup, focusing on offensive play and utilisation of wing strategies. In this formation, Ander Barrenetxea, Takefusa Kubo, and Mikel Oyarzabal are pivotal in their attacking efforts. In the attacking phase, they prefer the right flank, where Jon Aramburu utilises his speed and technique to create challenges for opposing defences and generate numerous scoring chances.
