Match Facts
- There have been under 2.5 goals scored in 8 of Real Sociedad’s last 9 games in the Champions League (including qualifiers).
- Prediction
- Both of these teams hit 4 goals in home wins in their respective domestic leagues this weekend but this game will represent a wholly different prospect for each side.
- Carlos Vela netted all 4 goals for Sociedad as they overcame Celta Vigo, but he has scored their only CL goal of the season, and their hopes of making it through to the knockout stages hang by a thread here.
Shakhtar Donetsk 2 - 0 Real Sociedad
