Expert Betting Tips

Manchester United is a very problematic team this season. The appointment of Ruben Amorim as head coach has not solved the game difficulties yet. But Real Sociedad is no less problematic. Team Imanol Alguacil goes in the middle of the standings of the Spanish championship, and in the Europa League took only 13th place in the main stage. We believe that United will give their best in the upcoming game and get at least a draw. However, for MU, it is the Europa League that is the last tournament, where they can still achieve something. We bet X2, and also do not expect a lot of goals scored. In 5 out of 6 matches between them in history, Manchester United and Real Sociedad have not scored more than twice for two.

X2 for 1.73

Total Under 2.5 for 1.77

Correct Score 1:1 for 6.50
