PSG enter the second leg of their tie with a comfortable 2-0 win and will be looking to qualify for the next round. However, Real Sociedad are not the ones to back down, especially now at what can be considered the game of their season. We will find out if they can be surprised here or if the Parisians will easily coast to the quarter-finals.
Real Sociedad Team News
Real Sociedad’s return to knockout games in the Champions League was not the most pleasant one. Despite the 2-0 loss in the first leg, the Spaniards are sure to give it their all in the return game. Due to their deficit, it is a must for them to score goals. And on this front the team is doing well, because in their last 4 competitive games, Sociedad has managed to score at least one goal. The problem might lie in the defensive side of their performance because they have conceded at least 1 goal in their last 6 competitive games. An additional stimulus for the team might also be the fact that they haven’t won a home game in 2024 and this could be the perfect opportunity to break this spell.
PSG Team News
PSG secured a much important 2-0 advantage in the first leg, because their form in away games against Spanish opposition is abysmal, to say the least – 1 win and 4 losses. At least Luis Enrique’s team entered this game in good form – 3 wins and 2 draws in their last 5 competitive games. In 3 of their last 4, PSG even managed to keep a clean sheet. However, now they will be up against an opponent, who will be looking to attack from the start to make up for a deficit. Such a strategy is perfect for players like Mbappe, Dembele, Asensio, and even Hakimi to exploit on the counter.
Head-to-Head-Games
If the previous game is a guideline to go by we can establish several things – PSG are favourites and have managed to secure a comfortable lead before the second leg. Real Sociedad, however, is still a team that is not to be underestimated, especially at home. PSG’s bad form against Spanish opposition can also be counted as a potential threat to the Parisians.
Real Sociedad – PSG Betting Prediction
I believe this game has all the markings of one that will feature goals from both teams. On the one hand we have Real Sociedad who must score and will go for the goal from the first minute because they have to make up for the 2 goals they conceded in Paris. This will likely leave them open on the counter for PSG to score and further make this game a formality. The French might employ another strategy – score first and just play out the rest of the game. In this scenario I still expect Sociedad to at least try to not lose this game for the sake of their honour. This is why I will go with both teams to score in this fixture.
