In the upcoming Champions League clash, two teams from opposite ends of Group D will collide at the Reale Arena as Real Sociedad welcomes Benfica. The Eagles are seeking revenge against Txuri-Urdin after a narrow 1-0 defeat in their previous encounter.

| 2-1 | 8/1 |  |
Real Sociedad’s recent form has been a mixed bag. They saw their four-game unbeaten streak come to an end with a 1-0 home defeat to reigning La Liga champions Barcelona. The match seemed destined for a draw until Ronald Araujo’s dramatic 92nd-minute winner for the visitors, marking Real Sociedad’s third league defeat this campaign. Their slip in form has cost them eight points in their last four La Liga matches, dropping them to seventh in the table, six points adrift of fourth-placed Atletico Madrid, who have a game in hand.
However, their fortunes differ in the Champions League. Real Sociedad is well-placed to qualify for the last 16, having amassed seven points from their first three Group D fixtures, putting them level on points with last season’s finalists, Inter Milan. Despite this being only their third Champions League appearance, they have won five of their last 17 European home games. A victory over Benfica would mark their first Champions League home win since their inaugural match in the competition back in September 2003.
Benfica, on the other hand, has shown signs of improvement since their previous encounter with Real Sociedad. They have put together a three-game unbeaten run in domestic competitions, including a 2-0 Taca da Liga win over Arouca. Roger Schmidt’s side remains three points behind league leaders Sporting Lisbon. Their hopes of advancing to the Champions League knockout rounds hinge on their performance against Real Sociedad, as they are one of only two teams in this season’s competition to lose their first three group-stage games without scoring. A loss here would make it the seventh time in the last 11 years that they exit the competition at the group stage.

Real Sociedad is dealing with some key injuries. Defender Hamari Traore is expected to miss the match due to a muscle problem, joining Kieran Tierney, Andre Silva, and Martin Merquelanz on the sidelines. The potential absence of Traore could see either Aritz Elustondo or Alvaro Odriozola start at right-back, alongside Igor Zubeldia, Robin Le Normand, and Aihen Munoz in the back four.
In midfield, Brais Mendez, who scored the match-winner against Benfica in their previous encounter, is set to start alongside Mikel Merino and Martin Zubimendi. The front three of Takefusa Kubo, Mikel Oyarzabal, and Ander Barrenetxea is expected to remain unchanged.
Benfica has its share of injury concerns as well. Juan Bernat is ruled out with a muscle injury, while Orkun Kokcu, Alexander Bah, and David Neres are also sidelined. Roger Schmidt may stick with a back three of Antonio Silva, Nicolas Otamendi, and Morato, with Fredrik Aursnes and Joao Neves potentially playing in makeshift wing-back roles. Top scorer Angel di Maria is expected to lead the attack alongside Rafa Silva and either Arthur Cabral or Petar Musa.
Real Sociedad: Remiro; Elustondo, Zubeldia, Le Normand, Munoz; Mendez, Zubimendi, Merino; Kubo, Oyarzabal, Barrenetxea
Benfica: Trubin; Silva, Otamendi, Morato; Neves, Mario, Luis, Aursnes; Silva, Cabral, Di Maria
This match carries significant importance for both teams. Real Sociedad is aiming to secure top spot in Group D, while Benfica must win to keep their hopes of a top-two finish alive. Considering their previous encounter, we anticipate another closely-fought contest at the Reale Arena. However, we back Alguacil’s men to secure a slender success in front of their home crowd.
Prediction: Real Sociedad 2-1 Benfica
