Level 1 Bet Builder Tip

🚩 Over 2.5 Real Sociedad Corners

📈 Odds: 1.20

With the tie finely poised, an initially cautious approach is expected, but a goal from either side should open the game up. United have conceded at least three corners in four of their last six home matches across all competitions and in six of their nine European fixtures this season. Meanwhile, Real Sociedad average 4.81 corners per game on the road and have recorded at least three in ten of their last 11 away matches.

🎯 Alejandro Garnacho to have 1+ Shots on Target 🔄

📈 Odds: 1.25

A constant attacking threat, Garnacho consistently looks to test the goalkeeper. This season, he averages 3.84 shots per 90 minutes, with his numbers rising to an impressive 4.9 per 90 in European matches. His season-long average of 1.49 shots on target per game remains consistent in continental competition at 1.52. Notably, he has registered two shots on target in each of his three three European starts, including the reverse fixture against Real Sociedad.

🩹 Patrick Dorgu to be Fouled 2+ Times 🔄

📈 Odds: 1.30

A new addition to United’s squad, Dorgu has already established himself as a key attacking presence, particularly when it comes to drawing fouls. He has won an average of 3.51 fouls per 90 minutes and has been fouled at least twice in each of his five appearances for the club. La Real’s right-hand side, anchored by Aramburu—who commits 1.77 fouls per game—has been aggressive, accumulating 25 fouls in their last eight matches. Given that Dorgu was fouled twice in the reverse fixture, another similar outcome seems highly likely.

Level 2 Bet Builder Tip

🟨 Over 1.5 Real Sociedad Cards

📈 Odds: 1.22

While United do not typically force their opponents into high card counts—averaging 1.44 opponent bookings per game in Europe and just under two (1.96) per game at Old Trafford across all competitions—Real Sociedad’s physical playing style makes this a strong selection. Their average of two cards per game in domestic away matches increases in European competition to 2.45, with at least two bookings in eight of their 11 continental fixtures. Given the heightened stakes, the intensity of the match, and the presence of referee Benoît Bastien—who averages 4.1 yellow cards per game and recently issued five yellows and two reds in a Europa League match—this market holds strong value.

🥅 Both Teams To Score

📈 Odds: 2.10

A tense, tactical battle is expected, which explains the slightly higher odds for this market. However, season-long trends and stylistic matchups suggest there is still value here. Real Sociedad, in particular, are expected to be aggressive, especially in transition, which could lead to opportunities at both ends. United’s ability to score at Old Trafford is undeniable, having found the net in 18 of their 23 home games this season, including every European match. While Real Sociedad’s domestic away form has seen them struggle in front of goal at times, their European performances tell a different story—they have scored in every Europa League fixture this campaign. Defensively, both sides have vulnerabilities, with Real Sociedad keeping just three clean sheets in Europe (all at home) and United managing just two, with only one coming at Old Trafford. In their last seven Europa League home matches (W5, D2), United have conceded in six, shipping four goals across three meetings with Spanish opposition. Given the patterns of both teams, a goal for either side should open the game up and increase the likelihood of both teams scoring.

🛑 Noussair Mazraoui to Commit 2+ Fouls 🔄

📈 Odds: 2.40

The Moroccan defender has become well known at United for his aggressive defensive style, frequently conceding fouls. While his season average sits at 1.46 fouls per game, recent trends suggest a sharp increase in his physicality. He has committed at least two fouls in each of his last three appearances and in six of his last eight matches. This pattern continues in European competitions, where he has conceded eight fouls in his last three outings. Given his direct defensive battles in this fixture, another high foul count is expected.

🛑 Jon Aramburu to Commit 2+ Fouls 🔄

📈 Odds: 1.62

The Spaniard’s defensive tendencies and matchup in this contest make him a strong selection for multiple fouls. Averaging 1.77 fouls per 90 minutes, Aramburu has committed at least two in five of his last seven starts. His numbers rise further in European competition, where he averages 1.96 fouls per 90 and was responsible for four in his last European appearance. Up against the tricky Patrick Dorgu—who draws an incredible 3.51 fouls per 90 and has won at least two fouls in all five of his United appearances—Aramburu is expected to be put under pressure once again.
