On Wednesday night, Real Sociedad hosts Salzburg at the Reale Arena in gameweek five in Group D of the Champions League.
Real Sociedad
La Real is currently at the top of the Group D table after a strong European campaign this season.
Imanol Alguacil’s team is unbeaten in their four group games, having recorded three victories and a draw.
Their good form has been enough to lead the side from San Sebastian to the top of the table and qualify for the last 16 of the competition with two games spare.
They are now in a battle for top spot with Serie A leaders Inter, who are level on points but have an inferior goal difference.
Real Sociedad’s recent Champions League games have been relatively low-scoring, with under 2.5 goals in three of their last four matches.
Salzburg
The Austrian league leaders have endured a difficult Group D campaign as they have picked up just three points from their opening four games, which means the best they can achieve is dropping into the Europa League in the new year.
However, they are only three points clear of the group whipping boys, Benfica, in the fight to secure third place.
Salzburg’s recent record in European football’s elite competition is poor, to say the least, as they have now lost five of their last six games in the competition, a record that dates back to last season.
That record is particularly disappointing as Salzburg kicked off their Champions League campaign with a 2-0 win over Benfica in Lisbon.
However, the visitors have suffered three straight European defeats since the victory.
What does Forebet predict?
Forebet predicts that Real Sociedad will continue their impressive form in the Champions League by recording a victory in a low-scoring affair.
