It is all to play for in this clash between the top two in Group B of the Europa League on Thursday night.

This may be a cracker. Monaco are leading Sociedad by a couple of points, so can win the group with a victory on the night.

Sociedad will be under pressure to come up with the points here, especially with a tough final game to come against PSV.

Monaco Preview – Can Monaco finish the job?

Group B momentum fully shifted to Monaco when they went to Spain and played out a 1-1 draw on Matchday Two.

With a victory away at PSV Eindhoven following that, Monaco are in the Group B driving seat.

They are the 6/4 favourites for Thursday night’s football betting* (odds recorded 21:12 GMT November 23rd 2021).

Interestingly, Monaco have not been in red hot form recently.

They have failed to win any of their last four matches in all competitions (D3 L1).

This will be the first time that they have ever hosted Sociedad and it looks like being a tight contest again between the two.

It has been just an average of a goal per game in the group from Monaco.

But they have done very well defensively, conceding just two goals, banking two clean sheets in the sequence of matches.

Our betting prediction:
1-1 correct score
13/2

Monaco’s overall record against Spanish teams is W8 D5 L10, so certainly nothing special.

It’s slightly better reading when you look at just their home matches.

Monaco are W6 D3 L2 on home turf against Spanish visitors.

Monaco’s European season started in the Champions League qualifiers but lost in the playoffs to Shakhtar Donetsk.

This is just their second time in the group stage of the Europa League.

The Principality team have lost eight of their last eleven European matches at the Stade Louis II.

 

Real Sociedad Preview – Can Sociedad make their move?

A win on Thursday will put Sociedad top of the group by a single point margin.

That may be an important cushion for them because it would mean that they would then only have to draw their final match to get through.

But a win is no certainty here.

Real Sociedad to win is at a quote of 7/4 in the match outright* (odds recorded 21:12 GMT November 23rd 2021).

Out of their travels in this group, the La Liga side have drawn 2-2 at PSV and have beaten Sturm Graz 1-0.

It has been a very good season for Real Sociedad.

Since losing their opening game of the new La Liga season away at Barcelona, Sociedad have remained undefeated in all competitions.

That’s an impressive run and they are W2 D4 in their last six in all competitions.
