Even the gamblers believe Real Sociedad has better chance to win than Manchester United. Manchester United is having one of its worst season in 21st century and was battling to stay away form relegation zone. Even though they are now almost safe from relegation. But Real Sociedad is also not at their best form and the game would be competitive.
Manchester United last year surprisingly won the FA Cup to reach the Europa League and I hope they still held some surprises.
Honestly, both teams are in miserable conditions and their results are bad. Real Sociedad was destroyed by Barcelona lately by four goals, regardless of referees and other factors. Manchester United was just kicked from FA Cup and aren't in a better position..
The only objective factor is playing home for Real Sociedad, otherwise any result could be seen in that game specifically.
Here I agree with both are having miserable performance in their domestic leagues while Manchester United is having superior in UEFA Europa League which is big advantage for them Real Sociedad ended on 13th spot while Manchester United have 3rd which is handy for them in this game.
First leg is going to be important for both sides because if Real Sociedad able to have good result this will be pressure for Manchester United which is recently had elimination from FA Cup which was setback for them now they need to play with confidence in this game if they are looking for some good development before end of this another worst season in all events. Tomorrow many interesting games are going to be played which are going to have top quality soccer for fans around the world.
