FC Midtjylland v Real Sociedad Betting Tips [14 February 2025]

Real Sociedad will be in Denmark on Thursday for their Europa League first leg knockout round playoff against Midtjylland. Only two points separated the teams at the end of the league phase but Sociedad finished in 13th place, seven slots ahead of Midtjylland. We have the prediction for this match below. 

Midtjylland will look to make use of home advantage in this first leg. In their three league phase wins, only one came at home. 

They are coming from an extended rest having last played at the end of January. Back then, they drew 2-2 with Fenerbahce. 

Real Sociedad have played three matches since Midtjylland last took to the pitch competitively. They lost once but are coming into this game off the back of two straight wins. 

In the most recent, Sociedad beat Espanyol 2-1. Having won three times in the last four matches, the Spanish side will feel confident about their visit to Midtjylland. 

It is the first meeting between the two sides but Sociedad will be keen on rising from their three straight away defeats. One of the losses was against Lazio in the Europa League. Their last two Europa League matches on the road produced over 2.5 goals.

Both Real Sociedad and Midtjylland are coming off winning runs so their confidence levels will be high as they look to extend that. One stat that cuts across their matches is the number of goals that have come across the matches.

The two sides rarely fail to score and there is a guarantee of goals coming into this game as well. This will be further influenced by the need to take a first leg lead. Our prediction for Midtjylland v Real Sociedad is for both teams to score.
