Real Sociedad vs RB Salzburg Preview & Prediction
Yet to lose a match in the Champions League this season, Real Sociedad have already confirmed their place in the knockout round. Nonetheless, the hosts will want to top the group in order to secure a more favourable draw in the last-16.
The La Liga outfit are level with Inter Milan on 10 points but are in the ascendancy on goal difference. The game between the pair on matchday six is the one that really matters; the winner will advance as group winners.
Even after their 2-1 victory against Sevilla last weekend, Real Sociedad face a challenging path to secure another top-four finish. The team had likely set its sights on reclaiming fourth place, but Girona’s exceptional start positions them as the frontrunners to join the traditional big three in the Champions League spots.
Similarly, RB Salzburg have struggled to maintain their usual dominance in the Austrian Bundesliga. Their domestic form has failed to reach the lofty heights seen in previous seasons.
As it stands, Salzburg are tied on points with Sturm Graz at the top, with 33 points after 15 matches. This tally falls below the standards they have become accustomed to over the past decade.
Prediction: Real Sociedad 3-1 RB Salzburg
Real Sociedad vs RB Salzburg Betting Tips
- Inter to win @ 21/50
- Lautaro Martinez first goalscorer @ 3/4
- Combined Bet Builder Odds @ 27/25
Real Sociedad vs RB Salzburg Betting Tip 1: Real Sociedad to win @ 21/50
The hosts are rightfully favourites for this one, at a short 21/50 price. They won the reverse fixture in Austria 2-0, thanks to goals from Mikel Oyarzabal and Brais Mendez.
Salzburg have the motivation to compete for third place, which would see them advance into the Europa League knockout rounds. However, against a side that has lost just once at home all season, getting a positive result here is a tough challenge.
Real Sociedad vs RB Salzburg Betting Tip 2: Over 2.5 goals @ 3/4
Sometimes, it’s better to keep it simple when betting. This bet has landed in five of Real Sociedad’s last eight home games across all competitions.
When you factor in Oyarzabal’s goalscoring form too, combining the home side to win with over 2.5 goals in the match at odds above evens looks like a smart bet to play.
