Real Sociedad hosts Napoli in round 2 of the Europa League group stage. The match will be played on Thursday, October 29th at Reale Seguros Stadium (San Sebastian)
Last week was fruitful for Real Sociedad. First, Alguacil's team dealt with Rijeka away, scoring in the last seconds (1-0). Then the Basques left Huesca's no chances in the home match of LaLiga, having hammered it with a 4-1 score. This victory allowed the Basques to become the sole leaders of the championship standings for a while. It should be noted that the hosts have many injured players, and the tighter the schedule is now, the less stable the team's results will be. Zubeldia, Januzaj, Zaldua, and Illarramendi are starters, and the quality of the hosts' game will surely decline without them.

Napoli unexpectedly started its way in the Europa League with a defeat. At home, the Italian Cup winner was unable to breach AZ's defense and lost to the Dutch club (0-1). However, the Neapolitans managed to rehabilitate themselves in Serie A, having gained a comeback victory over Benevento (1:2). Insigne, Mertens, and Osimhen are ready to rectify the team's position in the Europa League, especially since the visitors have no problems with the bench. Only Bakayoko is injured.
The teams have never crossed their paths before. Now I see several factors in favor of the visitors’ victory with a zero handicap. The hosts have huge problems with the infirmary. They cannot count on a bunch of players, and this is very painful in such a tight schedule. Beyond that, Napoli is more experienced. The defeat to AZ will make the Neapolitans play more actively in the attack, and their attacking line looks more powerful than that of Real Sociedad.
Prediction for the match: Napoli to win with 0.0 handicap
