Real Sociedad vs Ajax Prediction & Betting Tips (28 November)

1/8th finalist in the Champions League last year, Real Sociedad fails to meet the expectations of its leaders and supporters in this first part of the season. It is also not one of the 24 teams provisionally qualified for the rest of the competition since it is only in 25th place in the ranking after 4 days. Hooked from the start by Nice 1-1 , the San Sebastian players were then surprised at home by Anderlecht 1-2 before achieving a rather valuable success against Maccabi Tel Aviv 1-2. But on the last day, they were beaten again by Viktoria Plzen 2-1. In the championship, the Basques are also disappointing, occupying only 8th place in the ranking. However, things are better for Real who won their last 2 matches before the international break against Sevilla FC 0-2 and FC Barcelona 1-0 and who will aim for a 3rd success in a row in the derby against Bilbao on the weekend. next end.

Expected to turn the corner this year after a rather catastrophic last year, Ajax Amsterdam is present in this first part of the season. The Lancers started this Europa League very strongly by crushing Besiktas 4-0 before being held to a draw by Slavia Prague 1-1. But the Dutch then resumed their march forward by crushing Qarabag 0-3 and Maccabi Tel Aviv 5-0 in their next 2 matches to seize 2nd place in the ranking. In the Eredivisie on the other hand, the Ajacides are rather consistent at the start of the season but they cannot do anything behind the unsustainable pace imposed by PSV. Slowed down by Twente before the international break, they will want to get back on track against PEC Zwolle on Sunday.

Absent for a good while, the former Rennais Hamari Traoré will not be present to play this game. He is not the only one to have to give up since Pablo Marin, the important Zubeldia, the offensive Zakharyan, and the attacker Zubimendi are also on the floor. Unfortunately for her, this Real Sociedad team cannot really count on a big scorer at the start of the season. It is the Japanese Kubo who is the most prolific player in La Liga with only 3 goals scored ahead of Oyarzabal and Oskarsson (2 goals each). The replacement defender Gaston Avila and the relatively little-used midfielder Mannsverk will not be on the trip to San Sebastian .

Conversely, most of Ajax's captains will be able to go to the Reale Arena, starting with the formidable Dutch international Klaassen (6 goals in the league) or the former Lyonnais Bertrand Traoré (4 goals, 2 goals in C3 ). Obviously pay attention to the center forward Weghorst (3 goals) while the Englishman Henderson could take his place in midfield just like the ex Toulouse van den Boomen (2 goals in C3). The young Taylor (3 goals in C3), Godts (3 goals in C3)  and Fitz-Jim (2 goals in C3) can also be dangerous.
