Real Sociedad vs PAOK Preview 


PAOK have lost two of their three UEL road games so far, being successful only against underdog Rigas. This is a good chance for Real Sociedad to end their winless run and punch their ticket for the playoffs.

Stats 


  • Real Sociedad have won to nil in their last 2 home matches (Europa League). 
  • Real Sociedad have won to nil in 5 of their last 8 home matches. 
  • PAOK have lost 7 of their last 10 away matches (Europa League). 

Head-to-Head


This is going to be the first head to head match between Real Sociedad and PAOK. 

Real Sociedad Form 


Real Sociedad hit a rough patch recently, losing three games in a row across competitions. 

After earning back to back victories in mid-January against Villarreal 1-0 and Rayo Vallecano 3-1, the squad from San Sebastian lost to Valencia 1-0. 

They were outplayed by Lazio 3-1 in Italy last week in the Europa League seventh round, followed by a shocking 3-0 home loss to Getafe last weekend. 

The White and Blues are currently sitting in 18th place in the Europa League with 10 points (three wins, one draw and three defeats). They will most likely need just one more point to clinch playoffs. 

PAOK Form 


PAOK had disastrous results in early January, losing to Panathinaikos 2-1, then got eliminated from the Greek Cup by AEK Athens 2-1 on aggregate, followed by a 2-1 loss to Volos NFC. 

The Double-Headed Eagles ended their winless run last week with super-important 2-0 home victory against Slavia Prague in the Europa League, Stefan Schwab and Ioannis Konstantelias finding the net. 

This victory pushed them up to 17th place and have a high chance of reaching the playoffs. 

Last weekend, PAOK were also victorious in the Greek Super League 1 against Levadiakos 1-0, Mady Camara scoring the winning goal in the 82nd minute. 

Team News 


Real Sociedad’s right-back Hamari Traore won’t be back until the next season (cruciate ligament tear). Aihen Munoz is doubtful. 

As for the visitors, first-choice right winger Andrija Zivkovic is out with a knee injury, while defender Omar Colley is also sidelined with bruised ribs. Jonathan Gomez and Thomas Murg are recovering from a virus infection. 

Predicted Starting Lineups  


Real Sociedad: Remiro, Aramburu, Zubeldia, Pacheco, Munoz, Zubimendi, Kubo, Turrientes Olasagasti, Gomez, Oyarzabal 

PAOK: Kotarski, Sastre, Kedziora, Wieteska, Baba, Camara, Pena, Despodov, Konstantelias, Shoretire, Tissoudali 

Verdict

Real Sociedad claimed two clean victories in their last two UEL home games against Ajax and Dinamo Kiev. I will back them to extend this streak on Thursday against PAOK who struggle on the road.
