Real Sociedad-Omonia Nicosia is a match valid for the second day of the Europa League group stage
REAL SOCIEDAD – OMONIA NICOSIA | Thursday 6.45pm
In La Liga last weekend, Alguacil’s Real Sociedad paid dearly for what was last week’s Europa League feat against Manchester United: the victory at Old Trafford took away physical and, above all, mental energy from the Spanish side, but against Nicosia they should return to winning ways to almost secure passage to the next round. Yes, there is no doubt that the host team has all the cards against the Cypriots to get a full result, not only because of the quality on the pitch, but also because of the momentum of the visiting team.
Omonia Nicosia not only lost at home in the Europa League against Sheriff (3-0), but also in the league against Apollon. A double defeat that could – should – become a triple.
The Prediction
In a challenge that should ultimately yield at least three goals in total and which could even break the deadlock in the first half, there is no doubt that Alguacil’s Real Sociedad can succeed in their second European victory. Too clear-cut the values on the pitch, too strong the Spanish team for the Cypriot one. In short, the result was practically written.
