Game Prediction
On December 12, 2024, in the 6th round of the UEFA Europa League group stage, Real Sociedad will face Dynamo Kyiv.

However, the visitors must remember their pride.
Our Prediction for Real Sociedad vs Dynamo Kyiv
A year ago, "Churri-urdin" finally returned to the Champions League. They even won their group and advanced to the knockout stage. However, they dropped to 6th place in La Liga. Dynamo Kyiv, on the other hand, replaced the disappointing Lucescu with Shovkovskiy, and the local legend brought the iconic club back to its familiar second-place finish.
Currently, Dynamo Kyiv is leading the Ukrainian Premier League, taking advantage of the underperformance of their eternal rivals, Shakhtar Donetsk. They also had a good run in the Champions League qualifiers, defeating Partizan, Rangers, and fighting against Red Bull Salzburg, although they ultimately lost. However, in the Europa League, they have struggled this autumn, losing not only to Lazio, Hoffenheim, and Roma, but also to Ferencváros and Viktoria Plzeň.
Under Imanol Alguacil, Real Sociedad had a difficult start to the season. This was evident in the Europa League, where they began with a draw against Nice and a home loss to Anderlecht. But then they improved, just as they did in La Liga, winning against Maccabi Tel Aviv and Ajax. In between these successes, they lost to Viktoria Plzeň.
