Real Sociedad dropped to 11th place after a disappointing 3-0 defeat against Real Betis. They were reduced to ten men after just 20 minutes when defender Igor Zubeldia was sent off for a dangerous foul. To add insult to injury, Sheraldo Becker was also dismissed with fifteen minutes remaining, leaving the team with nine men.
The squad struggled to contain Man United loanee Antony, who opened the scoring. Nonetheless, Real Sociedad held firm as goalkeeper Remiro saved Lo Celso’s penalty, but the deficit was too much for them to overcome against an in-form Marc Roca. Even with 10 men, they created a few good chances but failed to find the back of the net.
Hamari Traoré and Jon Pacheco remain sidelined due to injury, while Jon Aramburu and Martin Zubimendi are suspended.
Real Sociedad predicted lineup vs FC Midtjylland (4-4-2): Remiro; Muñoz, Aguerd, Zubeldia, Aritz Elustondo; Gómez, Sučić, Marin, Kubo; Oyarzabal, Méndez.
Midtjylland have loaned out striker Ola Brynhildsen to Canadian side Toronto FC for a year. He scored 8 goals in 38 appearances for his club, which defeated 11th-placed Lyngby and remains second in the Danish Superliga.
They lost the first leg in Denmark to Real Sociedad (2-1) despite dominating large parts of the match. They had 60% possession and 13 shots but were wasteful in front of goal, managing only two big chances. They finished with 1.10xG, inferior to the opposition’s 1.26xG, despite recording nine shots, four fewer than Midtjylland.
Kristoffer Olsson has been ill recently and could miss Thursday’s encounter, depending on his recovery. Gue-Sung Cho and Oliver Sørensen will be out with injuries.
FC Midtjylland predicted lineup vs Real Sociedad (4-3-3): Olafsson; Bak, Bech, Lee, Andersson; Byskov, Silva, Osorio; Gogorza, Buksa, Franculino.
Bet hereLosing to Real Betis may have ended Real Sociedad’s hopes of competing for European spots. Although head coach Imanol Alguacil will not admit it, his squad are likely better off focusing on the European clash. They completed the hardest part of the job with a 2-1 victory in Denmark and will now play the return leg at home.
Although the absence of Zubimendi makes it more challenging, they’ll be the favourites. They only need to force their opponents to attack to create free space when counter-attacking.
Takefusa’s goal-scoring record has not met his usual standards compared to last season, but he did score against Midtjylland in the first leg. Since he didn’t start against Real Betis, he’ll come in fresh and determined, knowing how to break down the visitors’ defence.
He is the team’s main playmaker, especially in the absence of Martin Zubimendi. Given Midtjylland’s struggles defending wide areas, this could be the ideal scenario for the Japanese forward to find the net.
