by Joseph King in Europa League Predictions
The eighth and final matchday in the league phase of the UEFA Europa League sees 18th-place Real Soceidad hosting 17th-place PAOK. La Real and the White-Blacks meet in a high-stakes battle with entry into the knockout round playoff on the line! Here’s our match prediction.
With both teams on 10 points with identical 3-1-3 records, there are two points separating themselves and 25th-placed Porto. A draw would see them both through and, even with a defeat, Real Soceidad or PAOK would still most likely qualify for the top 24. However, neither side can qualify for the top eight.
Real Soceidad come into this matchup trying to snap out of a losing run. A 3-1 loss to Lazio last week in this competition was followed up by a heavy 3-0 clobbering on their home field by Getafe at the weekend.
They’ve now lost their last three in a row across all competitions, conceding seven goals and scoring just once during that stretch.
Their Greek opponents head to Basque Country looking to extend their winning streak to three games. They cruised to a comfortable 2-0 home win over Slavia last week and then secured a 1-0 home win over Levadiakos on Sunday.
Additionally, PAOK have been clicking in this competition as they’ve won their last three Europa League matches in a row.

Our Real Sociedad vs PAOK Thessaloniki Prediction
Real Sociedad manager Imanol Alguacil will be demanding an improved performance from his team’s defense after conceding six goals in their last two matches alone. La Real have been a strong defensive team this season, as evidenced by their 17 goals and 11 clean sheets in 21 La Liga fixtures.
PAOK, to their credit, are no slouches on the defensive side of the ball either. They’re on a three-match clean sheet run in the Europa League. With a draw benefitting both sides here, we aren’t expecting too many goals. Our Athletic Club vs PAOK prediction: under 2.5.
