Analysis and forecast for the match on matchday 2 of the general phase of the Europa League “Real Sociedad” – “Anderlecht” (10.03.2024)
The new Europa League format is unusual. The value of matches has increased significantly. To advance directly to the round of 16 of the tournament, you must demonstrate your competitiveness immediately. Real Sociedad is not yet in the best position. On October 3rd there will be an opportunity to make things better. The San Sebastian club will host Anderlecht at the Reale Arena.
In the first matchday match, Real Sociedad tied with Nice (1-1). Taking into account the level of the rival and the fact that the match was played in France, it is a good result for the San Sebastian club. He was very good at the beginning of the game, but the team did not know how to take advantage of its chances and maintain the desired pace during the 90 minutes.

Imanol Alguacil has stability problems. When was the last time this happened? The 53-year-old coach has been working at Real Sociedad for many years. Last season, their players always caused the giants big problems. What changed and went wrong?
The blue and white reject the novelty. The team has changed a lot over the summer, which has affected teamwork and mutual understanding. The injuries appeared on top. Arsen Zakharyan, who was given the number eight after Mikel Merino moved to London Arsenal, is still in hospital. The Russian underwent surgery and has not yet played a single game of the new season.
There are positive dynamics. It is reported that Zajaryan will soon start training in the general group. He is not expected to appear on the field in the next game. The restoration is not completely finished yet. And Alguacil is not the coach who is going to risk the health of a player he has missed greatly. Little by little he will bring Arsen up to date.
There is a positive moment: after the draw with Nice, the San Sebastian Club defeated Valencia (3-0). The Bats are off to a bad start to the season, but that doesn’t really matter. The main thing is that the victory will increase the confidence and unity of the blue and white team. This increases the chances of them winning in the next meeting.
Anderlecht only has one defeat so far this season. In the Belgian championship they lost to the leader Genk (0-2). Previously in the Europa League, the Marshals defeated Dinamo Minsk (1-0 and 1-0) in the qualifying phase, and on the first day of the general phase they also beat Ferencvaros (2-1).

It may seem like Anderlecht is doing well, but in reality that is not the case at all. Although it has practically no defeats, the team’s performance and the latest results in the Belgian championship do not inspire confidence. The lila-blancos’ streak without a win in the Jupile league totals five games.
After the defeat to Genk, Anderlecht underwent a change of coach. David Hubert was appointed interim. In the last two rounds of the Belgian championship under his leadership, the Marshmallows failed to defeat Charleroi (0:0) and Dender (1:1).
Anderlecht will have the right mentality for the Europa League. However, it is unlikely that it will be possible to take points away from Real Sociedad away from home. The blue and white are weakened by Zakharyan’s absence and cannot find stability in any way, but they are favorites.
You can bet on the victory of the San Sebastian club over Anderlecht and the total is less than 4.5 goals in the bookmakers with odds of 1.97. The Spanish Championship is more competitive than the Jupile League. Real Sociedad’s selection of players is better than Anderlecht’s.
A large number of goals are not expected. The blue and white score little, but they are defensively disciplined. The same goes for purple and white. Teams are unlikely to surpass the four-goal mark.
Prediction and bets for the Europa League match Real Sociedad – Anderlecht on October 3, 2024
There are preconditions for the blue and white performance to improve in the near future. Imanol Alguacil doesn’t waste time. The overwhelming victory in the match against Valencia and the imminent return of Zakharyan to the team inspire optimism. The support of the fans should help the San Sebastian club beat Anderlecht, although we don’t expect many goals. The marshmallows are not shy and the Royal Society’s execution is not in perfect order.
Tender: Real Sociedad wins and the total is less than 4.5 goals in 1.97.
