Tipster’s Angle

Both the teams have done exceptionally well in recent times and as PSV are playing at home, they have a slight edge over Real Sociedad. But this will be the first head to head match between these two teams. By looking at the current goal scoring form of these teams, this could be a high scoring match as well.

Tip: Total Goals Over 2.5 @ 1.75

In the last ten matches that PSV had played across all competitions, over 2.5 goals were scored in as many as seven of those matches. Even, over 2.5 goals were scored in three of the last four home matches that PSV has played. Real Sociedad have seen over 2.5 goals in six of the last ten matches that they have played across competitions. Apart from that, over 2.5 goals were scored in one of the last two matches that Real Sociedad has played on the road. Despite this being their first head to head clash, both the teams are in good goal scoring form and over 2.5 goals are expected to be a feature of this match. And 1.75 odds are available for the same at the Betway sportsbook.

Tip: Both Teams To Score @ 1.60

PSV have managed to score a goal in nine of the last ten matches that they have played recently. Real Sociedad on the other hand have also managed to score at least a goal in nine of their last ten matches. Also, Real Sociedad have seen both teams scoring in six of the last ten matches that they have played across competitions. PSV are averaging 2.5 goals per match in the last ten matches, while Real Sociedad have managed an average of 2.1 goals per match. This suggests that these two teams have scored a lot of goals recently. So it is likely that both teams will find the back of the net at 1.60 odds available at the Betway sportsbook.

Conclusion

This is yet another tough group in the Europa League, with Real Sociedad, PSV Eindhoven and AC Monaco having equal chances to advance to the knockouts. So, this match will be an important one in terms of which team will finish where.
