Tonight's Europa League brings Lillestrøm up against Real Sociedad in very different shape after their respective league games. The hosts have just won 2-0 in the Eliteserien, while the visitors have just thrashed their opponents 5-2 in La Liga. Both are finding their rhythm, but in different ways and in different leagues. Lillestrøm are unbeaten in 4 straight matches in all competitions. Their attack is starting to come back, but there are still gaps to be seen in defence from the 0-3 defeat earlier. Real Sociedad, meanwhile, have won 3 of their last 5 and are unbeaten in 3 straight. Their attack spreads the goals around, but they concede a fair amount as well. Tonight the visitors are likely to have the ball and push forward, while Lillestrøm will probably sit back and wait for the counter. If Real Sociedad can hold possession long enough and break through the home defence early, the game could flow one way. But if the hosts defend solidly and counter sharply, it could turn into a game that goes down to the final minutes.
