Midtjylland vs Real Sociedad prediction, H2H & Probable Line-ups – February 13, 2025
In the 1/16 final of the UEFA Europa League, a match will take place between Midtjylland and Real Sociedad. The game will be held in Denmark on Thursday, February 13. The kick-off is scheduled for 18:45 Central European Time. I suggest betting on the goal-scoring potential of this game.
Match Preview
Midtjylland has played the last three matches in the Europa League and hasn't played domestically since December. In the Danish league, they are currently sharing the top spot with Copenhagen, having an equal number of points.
In their recent match against Fenerbahçe, the Danes managed to secure a draw, which allowed them to surpass the Turkish side in the standings and qualify for the playoffs.
Real Sociedad is in good form: the team is close to the European competition spots in La Liga and has recently reached the semifinals of the Copa del Rey. However, more was expected of them in European competitions.
In the final table, the team finished in 13th place. Their defeats against Viktoria Plzen and Anderlecht were the main reasons they couldn’t secure a spot in the top 8, which would have allowed them to avoid the 1/16 final.
