Draw
If anyone can find a way to earn a point or play a closed game it's Jose Mourinho. The Portuguese tactician will no doubt make sure his team is prepared defensively to keep the distance from their opponents regarding a 2-0 lead that has been made as a big advantage before the return leg. Even though Roma lost over the weekend against Sassuolo in a match that featured seven goals, and lost Lorenzo Pellegrini in the process of injury, there will be a different kind of preparation for the match in Spain. At the same time, Real Sociedad is still fourth in La Liga but has failed to win a game in their last four league encounters. The first Real Sociedad vs Roma prediction is about Jose Mourinho, and the way he will prepare his team for the big match.
Under 2.5 Goals
This prediction for Real Sociedad vs Roma duel is clear, especially when it comes to the home team who had only one over 2.5 goals match in their last ten outings in all competitions. They are one of the best ‘under' teams in Spain with 17 matches that had fewer than three goals scored. The average goals record for the team from San Sebastian is 2.3 per match. When it comes to Roma, like most of Mourinho's teams, they rarely play games like the one against Sassuolo. For the season they had 16 under-matches with the same goal average as Real Sociedad.
