Real Sociedad vs FC Midtjylland Prediction & Picks - Europa League

Prediction published on 2/18/25, 3:00 PM  by Tyler Doty | Modified on 2/19/25 at 4:41 AM in Soccer Picks

There will be plenty of excitement in the Basque Country this Thursday evening. Having beaten Midtjylland 2-1 in the first leg, Real Sociedad have one foot in the last 16. A good result, but it's not enough, as there are still 90 minutes to go in this mouth-watering double-header. Humiliated by Betis Sevilla in La Liga (3-0), Imanol Alguacil's side need to bounce back to avoid relegating their opponents to the European stage. With a poor start to the campaign, it's possible that the Danish club will see the doubt on the home side's face as the game gets underway. It's now up to the blue and whites to rediscover the magic they showed against the Osasuna - Espanyol Barcelona - Midtjylland trio, so as not to fall apart in front of their home fans. 

The Danes have to believe in their lucky star right from the start. It's not easy to get a good result in Spain, but Thomas Thomasberg's men can look to two games to turn things around: the league win over Lyngby without conceding a goal, and Andalusia's clean sweep against Real last weekend. By attacking the match with the best possible intentions, Wolves are able to install doubt in their opponents' heads by coming back to score quite quickly...
