Real Sociedad enters this match with a solid home record and a strong offensive lineup, averaging 2 goals per game this season. Their ability to maintain possession and create scoring opportunities will be crucial against a Manchester United side that boasts a higher average possession rate of 61.63%. Manchester United, on the other hand, will rely on their defensive solidity and the creative prowess of Bruno Fernandes to break down Sociedad's defense. The head-to-head statistics slightly favor Real Sociedad, but Manchester United's recent form and tactical flexibility could pose a significant challenge.
