Napoli hosts Real Sociedad in round 6 of the Europa League group stage. The match will be played on Thursday, December 10th at Stadio Diego Armando Maradona (Naples)
Contrary to predictions, Napoli could not guarantee itself a place in the playoffs after five rounds. Yes, the team from Naples is on the first line, but Real Sociedad and AZ Alkmaar are behind by only two points. Therefore, according to the results of the last round, the Neapolitans can go down to the third place. The hosts could not have worried about anything if they had gained victory in the last match. Let’s recall that Napoli went to Alkmaar and tied with the local AZ with a 1:1 score. Moreover, the Italians were still lucky that the opponent did not convert a penalty, and the hosts of that match generally played better.

As we said above, Real Sociedad is two points behind Napoli. In case of a victory in the upcoming match, the Spaniards will outrank Naples and will definitely go to the playoffs from the first place. Even if Alkmaar also scores three points in the last round, the Basques still have an advantage over the Dutch in head-to-head meetings. Like Napoli, Real Sociedad missed its chance to significantly improve its position in the last round of the Europa League. At home, the Spaniards didn’t manage to beat the main outsider of the group, Rijeka, which had previously lost all matches in the group stage. Let's recall that the match ended in a battling 2:2 draw.
In general, the matches of both teams in the Europa League did not stand out in terms of scoring. Only one goal was scored in the first head-to-head meeting, and there were very few goal attempts. This time, one should not expect great performance either. The price of a mistake will be too high, so Napoli and Real Sociedad are unlikely to take great risks. Therefore, we offer you to bet on Under 3.0 goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Under 3.0 goals scored
