My Prediction
Real Sociedad by 1What do you get when you mix Ørjan Nyland and his wobbly 6.78 rating standing between the sticks for Sevilla, with Real Sociedad who look like they decided practicing offense was too mundane this month? Oh, come on, don't act all innocent, we all know it's not a thriller!
Real Sociedad. Holding onto the ball, passing, doing...well, generally sporty things with Arsen Zakharyan and Takefusa Kubo, those guys have the accuracy of a Swiss clockmaker. Meanwhile, their goalkeeper, Álex Remiro, boy, that guy’s just living the dream, with 13 saves and a commendable 6.90 rating.
And look at Sevilla. Using their roster like a chef uses spices - a sprinkle of Kike Salas here, a dash of Dodi Lukebakio there, and voila, you have a simmering pot of potential and a 7.60 rating. They're like the puzzle that looks good on the box but then you lose the corner piece and it's game over.
Looking back at the last meetups, someone seems to have forgotten to tell Sevilla that you’re supposed to win soccer matches. With Real Sociedad triumphing at 3 out of 4 of the most recent face-offs, it's like Sevilla watched a "how not to win" Youtube tutorial. Regular season record seems to reveal that both the teams have been playing soccer, but evidently failing to comprehend the basic mechanic of putting the ball in the net more than the opposing team.
Recent results? Sevilla emerges from the recent skirmishes like a Chihuahua from a dog fight - all bark and no trophy to show for it. Real Sociedad, on the flip side, have gone from snarling wolves to docile puppies in their last 5 fixtures.
So, what's my prediction? Ladies and gents, I've had sneezes less predictable than this match, but thumbs up to the house of fun known as Real Sociedad. They have everything, but nothing on their side. Confused? Me too. Let's get this over with.
