Real Sociedad vs Dyn. Kyiv Prediction & Betting Tips (12 December)

Weighed down by its rather chaotic start to the season, Real Sociedad is trying as best it can to raise the bar on all fronts. In C3, the San Sebastian club started with a draw at Nice 1-1 and a defeat against Anderlecht 1-2. It was better afterwards for the Basques who achieved 2 successes during the following 3 days played against Maccabi Tel Aviv 1-2, Viktoria Plzen defeated 2-1 and Ajax Amsterdam, 15 days ago . This allowed them to move up to 16th in the ranking, 3 units from the top 8. Furthermore, Imanol Alguacil's players are in the soft underbelly of La Liga but they still maintain good momentum in the league with 3 successes achieved during the last 4 days played against Sevilla 0-2, Barcelona 1-0, Bilbao defeat 1-0 and Betis 2-0 . Next weekend, Sociedad will travel to Leganes.

For their part, Dynamo kyiv is going through a real crux in this Europa League where they are clearly not performing at the level this season. Below everything in this competition, the club from the Ukrainian capital suffered 5 defeats in as many days played against Lazio 0-3, Hoffenheim 2-0, As Roma 1-0, Ferencvaros 0-4 and Viktorian Pilsen 1-2 . Logically, he finds himself having to bring up the rear in the ranking and qualification, even through the play-offs, is no longer really possible. This contrasts with its 1st place in the league standings despite its last 2 draws conceded against Kolos Kovalivka 1-1 and Oleksandria 0-0 which it faces again next weekend .

Sick last week, Croatian midfielder Sucic should be recovered. This could also be the case for former Rennes defender Aguerd. Another ex Rouge et Noir, Amari Traoré, is already out, along with Zakharyan, Elustondo and Icelandic international Oskarksson who are still stuck in the infirmary. Offensively, Sociedad should once again rely on captain and Spanish international Mikel Oyarzabal (3 goals in La Liga) and on the Japanese Kubo (3 goals in La Liga) who was able to score his first goal in the tournament on the last day . Dynamo kyiv will travel to San Sebastian without Colombian defender Bryan Ceballos, the important midfielder Pikhalionok (2 goals in the league) and without the long-term injured Shepeliev who were already absent on the last day.

Same sad observation regarding the Andriievskyi environment and especially the star of this team, Yarmolenko (3 goals), who will also be forced to stay at the dock this week. On the other hand, the Important defender Dubinchak is back from suspension. We should find in this team, the Ukrainian international Shaparenko (3 goals) and scorer Vanat (7 goals) should be there. Midfielder Kabaiev is the only one to have already scored in this competition.
