In the second leg of the Champions League Round of 16, Real Sociedad will host Paris Saint-Germain at home. The match prediction for these teams has been prepared by analysts at Dailysports.
Real Sociedad
Imanol Alguacil's team is undergoing a challenging period this season. In their last 9 matches across all competitions, Real Sociedad has only secured victory once – against Mallorca in La Liga on December 18. The past week proved particularly unfortunate for the San Sebastian side. Real Sociedad first succumbed to Mallorca in a penalty shootout in the Copa del Rey semifinal and subsequently suffered a 2-3 defeat away to Sevilla. Following these results, Real Sociedad can at best hope for a finish in the Europa League qualification zone.
Paris Saint-Germain (PSG)
In the context of PSG, discussions predominantly revolve around Kylian Mbappe, who will be transferring to Real Madrid in the summer. The team led by Luis Enrique is adapting to playing without him. In at least two recent matches, the head coach made substitutions involving Mbappe during the course of the game. In the last game against Monaco (0:0), Mbappe was even substituted immediately after the first half. Despite drawing against Rennes (1:1) in Ligue 1 before facing Monaco, PSG confidently leads the league standings.
Interesting facts about the match and head-to-head history
- In the previous two seasons, PSG was eliminated from the Champions League in the Round of 16.
- In the first leg in Paris, Luis Enrique's team secured a 2-0 victory.
- Real Sociedad has never advanced to the quarterfinals in the history of the Champions League.
Real Sociedad vs PSG prediction
Winning in San Sebastian is a formidable task for any team. Real Sociedad's fans have the ability to create an unforgettable atmosphere for all opponents. However, I predict that PSG will not lose this match and will progress to the next round of the Champions League.
