Match Overview
Real Sociedad and Paris Saint-Germain take each other on in a match in the round of sixteen stage of the UEFA Champions League at the Reale Arena in Sociedad, Spain. It is worth noting that PSG had won the first leg of this encounter by a 2-0 scoreline and come into this game with a massive advantage. They will be keen on recreating that here as well.
Key Highlights
Sociedad's defending has often been questioned widely by pundits across the world and the same will be up for grabs when they clash against PSG in this game. If they are unable to hold their own with the ball for long periods of time, this game may well be over before it has begun. Similarly, their attackers too need to flourish.
Injury Report
Both teams have a long list of injured players in their ranks. For Sociedad, Martin Merquelanz, Carlos Fernandez and Alhen Munoz, among others, will be missing out. For PSG, Sergio Rico, Presnel Kimpembe and Milan Skriniar will be absent.
Prediction
PSG are the overwhelming favourites to win this game and we expect them to do so quite comfortably in the end. Sociedad will have to play out of their skins to make sure that they compete on an equal footing with PSG in this game. Their midfielders need to keep more of the ball and allow PSG to come towards them and attack with all the impetus they have.
