Real Sociedad clearly cannot put the interim results of their performance in the Europa League to their credit.

In the last round, there was an away defeat to Viktoria Plzen (1:2). Before that, Imanol Alguacil’s charges lost to Anderlecht with the same score and drew with Nice. Real Sociedad is also not demonstrating a stable game in Primera and is in tenth place after 14 rounds played.

13.00Tip and bets
Real Sociedad have been too inconsistent throughout the season to bet on them with any confidence, as they can beat Barcelona but lose to Viktoria Plzen. Ajax, with their powerful attack, have regularly achieved success in all competitions, have been on an unbeaten run since August 18 and clearly have no plans to break it today.
Our prediction is Ajax will not lose at odds of 1.81

Real Sociedad have exchanged goals with their opponents in all four matches of the current Europa League. It is unlikely that this streak will be interrupted in the confrontation with attacking Ajax.
Second bet - both teams to score with odds of 1.75

It should be noted that in seven of the previous nine home matches in the Europa League, Real Sociedad took more corners than their opponents. We expect in the forecast that the hosts will also win in this indicator in the upcoming match.
Prediction: Real Sociedad win on corners with odds of 1.55
