Game Preview
Real Sociedad and Benfica will battle it out on Tuesday for supremacy in Group D of the Champions League. A win could make an enormous difference to this fixture, as all the teams are so close to each other in the group.
Benfica have begun the season slowly and are looking for a win to turn things around in this matchup. They come into this one having lost both of their opening two Champions League games to RB Salzburg 2-0 and Inter 1-0.
Meanwhile, they are doing very well in the Portuguese league, ranking in the 2nd spot just a single point away from the leaders Sporting. They have only lost one game in the league, and they even managed to win the O Clássico against Porto 1-0 last month. Ángel Di María and Alexander Bah are currently dealing with injuries so they will not feature in this game versus Real Sociedad.
Real Sociedad have made an excellent start to the Champions League despite their somewhat slow start in the Spanish league, as they sit in the top of group D. They managed to draw 1-1 their first match versus last year’s runner up Inter and secured a 2-0 win over RB Salzburg.
Mikel Oyarzabal has been an invaluable member of San Mames’ senior squad throughout his professional career and is excelling at their Champions League return this season. Oyarzabal opened up their match against RB Salzburg and scored to lead San Mames to victory on Match Day 2 of the UCL. André Silva and Martín Merquelanz are out with an injury.
Benfica are under intense pressure, needing a win to avoid a potential slump that could prove disastrous in their Champions League group as they stand in the bottom. Real Sociedad will prove tough competition against their hosts as they are enjoying good form this start of the season.
