Real Sociedad vs Anderlecht Prediction & Betting Tips (3 October)

How complicated it is at the start of the season for Real Sociedad. This formation is only a shadow of itself compared to what it produced in previous seasons. Still seeking their first La Liga success before hosting Valencia on Saturday, the San Sebastian club had previously been beaten by Real Madrid 0-2 and Mallorca 1-0 before being held to a draw by Valladolid 0-0 . Last week, for its entry into the Europa League, Real Sociedad was manhandled by a good Nice team but it still managed to bring back a small point from its trip to the Allianz Riviera 1-1. Unlike its opponent of the day, Anderlecht got off to an ideal start in this tournament by winning against the Hungarians of Ferencvaros last week 2-1 which allows it to move into the 1st part of the ranking.

However, the Belgians had not accumulated much confidence in recent weeks by going 4 games without the slightest victory in the championship. Dominated at home by Genk 0-2, the Mauves were then held to a draw at home by Charleroi 0-0. On Saturday, a trip awaits them near Dender.

Once again, Real Sociedad will have to do without former Rennais Hamari Traoré and winger Zakharyan to prepare for the reception of the Brussels residents. Otherwise, it will be all hands on deck for this part. We will undoubtedly find in the 11 the very interesting Ander Barrenetxea who unlocked his counter in this competition by scoring against Nice. We undoubtedly expect better from the Japanese Kubo (only 1 goal) and the attackers Sadiq and Becker who have still not scored this year.

On the Mauves side, the defenders holders Augustinsson and Vertonghen, the little brother of Eden Hazard , Thorgan (ex-Dortmund), and replacement Kana fill all the ranks of the infirmary. Absent last week, the important midfielder Dreyer should make his return unlike left winger Amuzu who left injured last Thursday. His replacement Angulo will be suspended after being sent off. On the side of the forces present, we find the young Mario Stroeykens (19 years old, 2 goals, 2 assists in Jupiler League) as well as former Niçois Dolberg (15 goals, 4 assists last year) who scored a penalty last week
