Real Sociedad performed quite consistently this season and not only playing well in the Champions League even in La Liga they only experienced three defeats so far and made them ranked sixth. Real Sociedad will definitely be a threat to Luis Enrique and if he underestimates the Imanol Alguacil forces then I am quite worried they will lose when facing them.
If you see the quality of the players, then I am quite sure PSG can beat Real Sociedad in the last 16, but Luis Enrique must be able to maximize the front lines because Real Sociedad defender is quite solid in defense. So it will make it difficult for PSG to score goals and also have to consider the defense line if they do not want to conceded because Real Sociedad could have threatened their defense if he was off guard.
PSG has a better chance of qualifying for the quarter-finals than Real Sociedad. I'm not underestimating Sociedad, but based on the depth of the squad between the two teams, I think PSG is better prepared to win the match and qualify for the quarter-finals. Real Sociedad's performance this season is very good, but I somehow believe that Real Sociedad's journey in the Champions League this season will only reach the round of 16 after being drawn to PSG as their opponent.
To be honest, I don't really care who will qualify from the match, but based on the data and several considerations, I support PSG to qualify for the next round. They have quality in their players, they also have good experience in the Champions League from their coach.
Real Sociedad performed very well in every match of the Champions League group stage. Real Sociedad has not lost a single match. The team has won three and drawn three matches. However, Sociedad's overall condition is not good this season. We haven't seen a good performance from Real Sociedad in La Liga. However, they lost only three matches. Real Sociedad aim to secure 1 point with a draw. This is why it is not going to be very easy for PSG to win against Sociedad. But the first leg match is PSG's home match. If PSG can secure 3 points in the home match, it will be easy for them to qualify for the quarter finals. PSG's defense must be strong if they want to win against Sociedad.
