Real Sociedad are headed to the Red Bull Arena, but Tobias Gourlay doesn’t fancy them to find a way past their in-form hosts
Red Bull Salzburg v Real Sociedad
Thursday 20:05 (Live on BT Sport Extra)
Another Over 2.5 Goals bet, another 1-1 draw. Just like Aston Villa and Preston the night before, Bristol City and Fulham left us a goal short.
We’re moving away from the Championship today. Our old mate Kev has covered a lot of tonight’s Europa League, but he’s kindly left Real Sociedad’s trip to Red Bull Salzburg all to us.
The tie is poised at 2-2 after the first leg in Spain and we fancy the Austrians to avoid defeat again tonight. Across all competitions, Salzburg are on a long unbeaten streak of 26. At the Red Bull Arena, they are W8-D4-L0, with clean sheets from seven of the last eight.
In this competition, they’ve managed five straight clean sheets on home turf (W4-D1-L0) and we’re very much on their side tonight. Not least because, since late October, Real Sociedad have taken just two points from a possible 21 in La Liga away games.
