For the 2nd match of the play offs of the round of 16 of the Europa League, Real Sociedad welcomes Leipzig. In the first match 2-2, the rules of away goals do not apply, in case of a tie there will be an extension and if necessary the penalty procedure.
Sociedad in the first match took the lead in the score twice, equalized and finally left with a 2-2 draw from Germany. A result that leaves her satisfied, with the case of qualifying being now open in today's rematch.
In the championship comes from a heavy defeat with 4-0 in the derby of the Basques from Bilbao, conceding all its goals in the last 25΄ of the match. So he lost a small unbeaten streak of 4 games with the result that he is out of the six in the battle for a European ticket next season, after 24 matches is in 7th place with 38 points.
Mixed emotions left in Leipzig the result (2-2) of the first match against Sociedad, on the one hand it was the team that lost the most and the biggest opportunities but on the other hand it was back in the score twice and saved the defeat with a goal in the last ten minutes.
He showed anyway on recent match for championship against Hertha that he is in good condition as he crushed the capital team at home with 6-1 after an impressive performance mainly in the second half, during which he scored 5 times! With this victory Leipzig reached 37 points and is in 4th place in the standings in its quest to win a ticket to the next Champions League groups.
Sociedad showed character in the first match and got a positive result but everything is open for qualification as Leipzig seems to have more talent. Both, however, have great quality from the middle and front and I expect a match with many phases and a fast pace.
Proposal: Sociedad - Leipzig Over 2,5 with odds of 1.90
