With the result that Manchester United got in their first leg, I think hosting the game should be an advantage for Manchester United. But the truth is that Real Sociedad is also in good form, and with that, playing at home might not be a significant advantage for Manchester United. If teams are in good form, there’s nothing like home advantage.
Let’s just see what will happen. If Manchester United puts in more effort, it is possible for them to qualify. However, with extra effort needed in this game against Real Sociedad, I think they may find it difficult to qualify for the next round.
In fact, I would say this match will be the toughest match on Thursday because these are two recognized teams from different top, tough leagues in Europe, and both have high hopes of winning this game. I can’t wait to watch the match!
I expect United to play well, at least like the match against Arsenal even though it ended in a draw. Honestly, they played well, especially in defense. Hopefully Amorim can maintain the performance of his players.
However, the Europa League match against Sociedad is a different match. They have to win if they want to qualify for the next round. Both teams will definitely give their best.
