Our prediction for this Europa League match:
All eyes will be on Red Bull Arena when Leipzig and Real Sociedad face each other in the Europa League derby. The Red Bulls quickly bounced back from a 3-2 loss to Bayern Munchen, with the team beating Koln in front of home fans. Leipzig aim to give fans yet another reason for celebration, but this match will be anything but a walk in the park for the home side. Both Halstenberg and Raebiger are sidelined with injuries, but there are no other absentees in the home team.
La Real, on the other hand, aim to build on a 2-0 win over Granada. The Basque outfit managed to keep a clean sheet in each of their last four league fixtures, and they are likely to rely on their rock-solid defence. A low-scoring affair is on the cards, and we believe that there is a big value in betting on under 2.5 goals. Zubeldia is back from suspension, while all Monreal, Fernandez, and Barrenetxea are sidelined with injuries.
