Real Sociedad’s match against Benfica at the Reale Arena Stadium, Donostia-San Sebastián on Wednesday, November 08, 2023 can be watched via live streaming on online tv.
Match Preview
The two teams at opposite ends of Group D will face off at the Reale Arena on Wednesday afternoon. The Eagles will be looking for revenge against Txuri-Urdin after they suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat to the Spanish side in their previous match.
Real Sociedad have seen their run of four games without defeat in all competitions come to an end after they suffered a narrow 1-0 defeat at home to reigning La Liga champions Barcelona last weekend. They have dropped eight points in their last four La Liga games and have now dropped to seventh in the table, six points behind Atletico Madrid who are fourth and have a game in hand.
However, the Basque outfit have fared much better in the Champions League group stages, and they are well placed to progress to the last 16 for the first time in two decades, as they have picked up seven points from their first three Group D games and sit level with last season’s finalists, Inter Milan, at the top of the standings.
Benfica, on the other hand, is one of two teams in this season’s Champions League, along with AC Milan, to have lost their first three group games without scoring a goal, and they are therefore on the verge of going out at the first stage for the seventh time in last 11 years.
However, Benfica have strung together a run of three games without defeat on the domestic front, with Taca da Liga’s 2-0 win over Arouca sandwiched by a 1-1 draw with Casa Pisa and a 2-0 win over Chaves in the Primeira Liga.
Real Sociedad is facing several injury problems ahead of the match against Benfica. Right-back Hamari Traore was taken off with a muscle problem last weekend and is expected to be absent on Wednesday, joining Kieran Tierney (hamstring), Andre Silva (muscle) and Martin Merquelanz (knee) in the treatment room.
Meanwhile, Benfica are without Juan Bernat who is absent after missing last weekend’s win over Chaves with a muscle injury. Meanwhile top scorer Angel di Maria is yet to score any of his seven goals in all competitions in the Champions League this season, but the Argentinian is expected to play up front alongside Rafa Silva and Arthur Cabral or Petar Musa.
Estimated duel between the two teams, Real Sociedad has home advantage and is more consistent in the Champions League, while Benfica must win to maintain their chances of qualifying. It is estimated that Real Sociedad will win narrowly.
