On Mar 9th, Roma and Real Sociedad will play a match in Roma in a meeting of these two Europa League teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 14 degrees, a perfect day for football. Roma is fresh off their 1-0 shutout win against Juventus. Gianluca Mancini struck first for Roma in the 53rd minute on a feed from Bryan Cristante, and that single goal was all that was necessary as neither team could manage any more scoring In the end, Juventus was frustrated by Roma’s defence and couldn’t put any tallies on the board. Roma ended the match with the shutout victory. Roma should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 20 points in their last 10 matches, while real Sociedad is fresh off their 0-0 scoreless draw against Cádiz. Neither Real Sociedad nor Cádiz could manage to put one past the goalie. They had 14 and 6 shots on net respectively, but no one could score, and the match ended in a 0 – 0 draw,. With 18 points in their last 10 matches Real Sociedad should be reasonably happy with their performance.
This will be the first match for these two teams against eachother this season.
Real Sociedad is having problems scoring lately. Their top scorers, Leandro Cabrera and Alexander Sørloth each only have 1 goal in their last 5. Ola Solbakken and Paulo Dybala are the top scorers for Roma in the last 5 matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats.
