In this Europa League fixture, Union Saint-Gilloise host Real Sociedad, with both teams needing three points to keep their chances in this competition alive. The hosts are unbeaten in their own league and have just thrashed their opponents 5-0, while Real Sociedad's recent form has yet to click, losing 0-3 in the league and then losing 1-2 in the Europa League, though they have still scored in every away game. The pattern of play should see the hosts attacking a little more based on possession numbers and chances created in the last 10 matches, but Real Sociedad have not come to simply sit back. They have dangerous counter-attacking moments and often score early in games. If the hosts score first, the game will open up into a trade of attacks, but if the visitors hold out until the second half, the game could end closely contested.
