FC Midtjylland vs. Real Sociedad - prediction,free streaming , lineups

The clash between FC Midtjylland and Real Sociedad in the UEFA Europa League knockout round promises to be an intriguing encounter, with both teams vying for a crucial victory on February 13, 2025. FC Midtjylland, having navigated a mixed group stage that included seven points from their initial three games but concluded with three consecutive losses, managed to secure a win and draw before the winter break . This inconsistency raises questions about their form as they face a seasoned opponent in Real Sociedad. Despite struggling historically in European knockout matches—recording no wins in their last thirteen attempts—Real Sociedad's recent performance has shown improvement, including success in domestic cup competitions .

The current European season saw Thomas Thomasberg’s team start in the UEFA Champions League qualifying rounds and it was expected they would be playing in that competition's stage. However, in the playoff round, the Danes unexpectedly lost 3:4 to Slovakian side Slovan. In the Europa League, the "Wolves" had a fairly decent start, accumulating seven points in their first three matches – a last-gasp draw with Hoffenheim (1:1), a confident 2:0 victory over Israeli Maccabi, and a home win of 1:0 against Belgian Union.

Imanol Aguacil is in charge of a Real Sociedad side that have been very impressive in recent years but the Basque giants have underwhelmed this time around. La Real come into this one on the back of a couple of much-needed victories as they defeated Osasuna in the Copa del Rey before edging past struggling Espanyol at the weekend.

In their eight games during the league phase of the UEFA Europa League, there were only 18 goals involving Midtjylland. Real Sociedad have scored just 20 in their 23 La Liga games so far this season and a low-scoring encounter seems very likely for this one.

FC Midtjylland possible starting lineup: Lossl; Mbabu, Diao, Bech Sorensen, Paulinho; Byskov, Andersson, Sorensen; Osorio, Simsir, Buksa

Real Sociedad possible starting lineup: Remiro; Aramburu, Elustondo, Aguerd, Lopez; Zubimendi; Kubo, Sucic, Mendez, Gomez; Oyarzabal

Predictions lean towards a narrow victory for Real Sociedad, with many analysts forecasting a scoreline of 2-1 in favor of the visitors. The basis for this prediction rests on Real Sociedad's superior quality and experience compared to Midtjylland. Notably, while FC Midtjylland enjoys home advantage at their ground, they have only managed one win out of four home matches during this season’s Europa League campaign . Conversely, Real Sociedad has demonstrated resilience by recently advancing to the Copa del Rey semi-finals. However, injuries could play a pivotal role; both teams will miss key players due to fitness issues .

While detailed lineups have yet to be confirmed publicly for this fixture , several broadcasting options are available for viewers wishing to follow the match live. It will be televised via various platforms such as Sony LIV and TNT Sports in different regions . Unfortunately, information regarding free streaming options remains scarce across available resources. As anticipation builds around this matchup between two contrasting styles and forms of play, fans will undoubtedly look forward to what promises to be an exciting encounter.
