Real Sociedad Form and Team News

Real Sociedad are coming into this Europa League game after a draw in the first game against Eindhoven. They are on the back of a brilliant start to their league games. They are presently placed in the second position after seven games. They have won five games while losing one game and drawing one as well. Real Sociedad in the last ten games have won a terrific six times while losing two games and drawing two in the process. Real Sociedad would need to put their best foot forward in this season and try to win as many games as possible. For that however they will need to replicate what they have been doing right over the past few seasons and hope for the best. 

Imanol Alguacil Barrenetxea, the Spain national has been at the helm for over three seasons games now and he has been doing a decent enough job to keep the Sociedad team afloat. But Imanol cannot afford to be complacent and should be able to garner results as well considering the experience he has in Spanish football. Swedish sensation Alexander Isak has been in top form in the last season and he is likely to continue contributing while the likes of veteran David Silva too will be vying for his chance to win a silverware after this stint with Man City earlier.

The recent record of the AS Monaco has not been great winning as many as only four games in the last ten matches. They are facing Real Sociedad in the second game of their Europa campaign on Thursday.

Nico Kovac has been instrumental in handling the Monaco side to newer heights considering where they were a few seasons before that.
