It's time to decide the outcome of the Europa League Round of 16 meeting between Real Sociedad and Roma. Get ready for the match with this full betting preview!

These teams have little in common geographically as Roma have to travel 1500 kilometers to reach their opponents. The trip home will be especially long if the match ends in defeat.

There’s little time for restitution or working hard at the training pitch these days, with both teams having played their last game less than four days ago.

Real Sociedad form and stats

Last season their Europa League adventure ended in the knockout round play-offs against RB Leipzig.

5-4-3 (win-draw-lost) are the La Liga numbers at home for Real Sociedad so far this season. On the other hand, in the Europa League, Real Sociedad has performed like this (both home and away): 5 wins, 0 draws and 2 losses.

The Real Sociedad coach Barrenetxea and his side return home after a 1-1 draw away versus Mallorca. Pacheco, defender, was given a rating of 7.31/10 in that game, top of the team. Pacheco won 11 of 13 duels.

Before that match, a loss in the away fixture against Roma in the Europa League.

There's a new fixture coming up fairly quickly for Real Sociedad, as the La Liga home game vs Elche is only three days away.

The Sociedad fans would probably like to see some more goals scored at their own stadium in the league, the tally being 13 in 12 matches.

Roma form and stats

The visitors are W6-D4-L3 on the road this term. That's in the Serie A. Total Europa League statistics for Roma: 5 wins, 1 draw and 3 losses.

Home advantage was not enough for Roma in their previous game as they lost hosting Sassuolo, 3-4. A loony fixture with masses of goals last time out for Roma, as mentioned above. 7 goals in that game, will this fixture be as gleeful? Roma goalkeeper Patrício took pride in a grand day at work against Sassuolo, but in spite of making six saves the beating could not be stopped. The attacker Dybala got a match rating of 8.02 in that game. Dybala scored one goal and hit two key passes.

Before that one, the win at home against Real Sociedad in the Europa League (2-0).

The schedule is very tough for Roma now as they have to travel again shortly after this match. A Serie A game at Lazio is waiting in only three days.

Roma find the net regularly in their away games. 18 goals from 13 away fixtures in the league. 16 goals have been conceded by Roma in these games.

Head 2 Head

Real Sociedad and Roma have met already this season: Roma - Real Sociedad 2-0.

The UEFA Europa League, abbreviated as UEL and commonly referred to as just the Europa League, is an annual football club competition organised by UEFA. It is the second-tier competition for football clubs in Europa, beneath the UEFA Champions League in value and importance. Teams qualify through their performance in their national leagues and cup competitions. Some teams qualify from the Champions League; more precisely the teams who are knocked out in the playoff qualifying round and the third-place finishers of the group stage. The winner of the Europa League qualifies for the Champions League in their next competitive season.
