Premium Tips
Anthony Eadson edges towards the hosts.
| Premium Tip | Odds | Why we’re backing it |
|---|---|---|
| Union SG draw no bet | 4/5 (Sky Bet) | Union SG could hardly have made a better start, winning 3-0 at Viktoria Plzen with a clean sheet to boot, and they return home full of belief. Real Sociedad, by contrast, lost at home to Bournemouth on matchday one and arrive on the back foot. The Belgian champions are a tough, well-drilled side on their own patch, and the draw-no-bet market protects the stake should the Spaniards nick a point. At 4/5, Union SG draw no bet is the sensible route in against a Sociedad side still searching for their first points. |
| Mikel Oyarzabal to assist | 6/1 (Ladbrokes) | Even on an off night, Real Sociedad will carry a threat through captain Mikel Oyarzabal, who is central to almost everything they create. The forward dropped into deeper, creative areas as Sociedad chased their opener against Bournemouth, and against a Union SG side that will have plenty of the ball he should again be the man pulling the strings. With La Real likely to need a goal, Oyarzabal is well placed to turn provider. At 6/1, Mikel Oyarzabal to assist is a tidy call on the visitors’ chief creator at Den Dreef. |
