On Thursday evening, Sheriff Tiraspol hosts Real Sociedad at the Bolshaya Sportivnaya Arena, in Group E of the Europa League, with the visitors looking to continue their stellar European campaign.

The home team’s results have turned of late, as they have failed to win in two games in all competitions, suffering a 2-0 home defeat against Manchester United before a goalless home draw against Zimbru last time out in their domestic league.

Sheriff’s recent record in the Europa League has been mixed. The defeat against United followed a 3-0 win at Omonia Nicosia in the opening gameweek of the competition.

In fact, the home side has won just two of their last ten games in the Europa League.

The Moldovan team have also won just one of their previous six home matches in 90 minutes in the competition. Their most recent home games in the Europa League have been low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals scored in their previous four home matches.

La Real heads into this clash in solid form, having recorded five wins in their previous seven matches in all competitions. The visitors have certainly found their shooting boots of late, scoring at least two goals in their last three competitive games.

Their recent good run of form includes winning their opening two Group E games 1-0 at Manchester United and beating Omonia Nicosia 2-1 on home soil.

The results have the side from San Sebastian in pole position to make the competition’s knockout stages.

Real Sociedad have been slightly unconvincing on their travels of late in the Europa League, winning just two of their previous eight matches on their travels in the competition.

However, they have also lost once in their last nine away games in the Europa League.

What does Forebet predict?

Forebet predicts that Real Sociedad will edge a high-scoring encounter to strengthen their position at the top of the group.
