Napoli vs Real Sociedad Prediction & Betting tips
In the Estadio Diego Armando Maradona, a wonderful Europa League cracker is on the program on Thursday evening, when Napoli and Real Sociedad compete in a direct duel for European wintering. The home team has the best credentials, but can be left empty-handed in the event of a defeat.
SSC Naples:
On the eve of the last round of play, Napoli is in the lead with ten points in group F of the Europa League, with two points ahead of closest attackers Real Sociedad and AZ. The Italians are therefore on roses, but if all goes against the grain they could still seize the European wintering. After all, with a defeat against Real Sociedad and a victory for AZ against the already eliminated Rijeka, I Partenopei are the cigar.
Napoli has been in good shape in recent weeks with resounding victories over AS Roma (4-0) and Crotone (0-4) and a 1-1 draw at AZ. Trainer Gennaro Gattuso is therefore delighted. “I would have been with this team during my active career,” the coach joked. However, the home club has yet to make do without a record purchase Victor Osimhen, who is in the rag basket. Andrea Petagna will likely replace him.
Real Sociedad:
The situation is much more dire for Real Sociedad. The Spaniards are on the same level with AZ, but on the basis of a better mutual result, for the time being trumps the Alkmaarders in the battle for second place. AZ may, however, take on the weak Rijeka in the last round of play, so normally Real Sociedad will have to win at Napoli to secure winter in Europe.
The pressure is therefore full on for Real Sociedad, which lost the lead in LaLiga to Atletico Madrid last weekend after the scoreless draw at Alaves. It was already the fourth draw in a row for the club from San Sebastian, which has lost its super form at the start of the season for a while. In addition, star players Mikel Oyarzabal and David Silva are both not fit. It is hoped for trainer Imanol Alguacil that they will win the race against time, because without these two creatives, Napoli out could have fatal consequences.
