Match Preview
It wasn’t the start to the Europa League that Real Sociedad would have been hoping for on matchday one, as they could only play out an away draw against Nice. However, they will be expected to bounce back to winning ways in the competition against Anderlecht.
But, it could be worth considering their poor record against teams from Belgium after failing to win in their only two previous meetings. Meanwhile, Anderlecht were 1-0 winners against Villarreal in their latest clash in a European competition with a Spanish side.

Anderlecht have also endured issues on the road after failing to score in their last three matches on the road. All of those encounters came in the 2018-19 season. Meanwhile, the team from Belgium have won just four of their last 16 matches away from home in the Europa League.
Real Sociedad vs. Anderlecht Pick
The trends fail to indicate a likely winner of this fixture, as Sociedad have really struggled in the Europa League across recent seasons. Therefore, there could be value in siding with the draw this week.
