Prediction for Zenit Petersburg – Real Sociedad

Zenit Petersburg to win @ 2.15

Zenit St. Petersburg and Real Sociedad face off in a match for this phase of the UEFA Europa League (Group Stage). These two teams have never faced before, so this will be their first direct confrontation. In this match the factor home can be decisive, since the Zenit St. Petersburg presents considerable differences in its results at home and as a visitor.

Zenit Petersburg :

The home team dispute their match in Group L, having won by (0-5) in their first game in this group stage, against the Vardar. This is a team that curiously tends to win more positive results as a visitor than at home, since in the last 30 games has recorded 11 victories, 3 draws and 1 defeat as a visitor, with 26 goals scored and 6 suffered; against 9 wins, 3 draws and 3 defeats in his stadium, with 25 goals scored and 8 suffered. In the last game that disputed, for the Premier League, gained the Krasnodar out by (0-2). In their last 10 games at home Zenit St. Petersburg has 6 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses. In 15 games, he suffered the first goal 4 times and never got the comeback.

Zenit St. Petersburg starts for this match with a victory in the field of Krasnodar, 0-2, in a match for the Russian championship. In this game against his fans coach Roberto Mancini must act in the usual 4-3-3, privileging the possession of the ball and the organized attacks, especially through the flanks: Leandro Paredes is one of the main creators and organizers of the offensive process. On the other hand, Kokorin is the great highlight of this team, with 7 goals scored. For this game the coach can not count on the injured Victor Fayzulin.

Real Sociedad :

The visiting team arrives in Group 2 after a win in their group stage opener against Rosenborg BK (4-0). This is a team little affected by the house factor, that is, presents similar results at home and abroad, since in the last 30 games has 5 wins, 5 draws and 5 losses as a visitor, with 25 goals scored and 22 suffered; against 6 wins, 4 draws and 5 defeats in his stadium, with 25 goals scored and 20 suffered. In the last game that disputed, for the First Division, lost with the Valencia in house by (2-3). In his last 10 games as a visitor Real Sociedad recorded 4 wins, 3 draws and 3 losses. His attack has scored regularly, scoring goals in 8 of the last 10 games. There is 1 period in the last 4 games as a visitor for all competitions: he scored 4 of his 7 goals in the minutes (76′-90 ‘).

The Real Sociedad arrive at this party with a defeat at home, by 2-3, against Valencia, adding the third party followed without proving the taste of the victory: Elustondo and Oyarzabal scored the goals of the victory. In this game coach Eusebio Sacristán should act in the usual 4-3-3, with Willian José being the offensive reference of the Spanish team. It is natural for visitors to be very defensive in the game as they act out of the house. Juanmi is the great highlight of the team so far, with 3 goals scored. Everything indicates that the coach can not count on Navas and Inigo Martínez, both injured.
