Manchester United welcome Real Sociedad to Old Trafford on March 13, 2025, for a UEFA Europa League showdown, and our AI has crunched the numbers to bring you the best betting insights. With odds of 1.84 for a home win and a 7.9/10 confidence rating, backing the Red Devils looks like the smartest move.

The last time these two met in this competition, Real Sociedad stunned United with a 1-0 win at Old Trafford. However, history doesn’t always repeat itself, and this time, the numbers favor the home side. United are coming off a morale-boosting win against Arsenal, and with a squad valued at €724.05m compared to Sociedad’s €421.00m, they certainly have the firepower to dominate.

Possession-wise, expect Manchester United to control around 60% of the ball, with Real Sociedad seeing just 40%. The home side is projected to take 14 shots, with 5 on target, while Sociedad may struggle to create chances, managing only 6 shots and 2 on target.

For those looking at the under/over market, our AI suggests under 2.5 goals at 1.65 odds, though with a lower confidence rating of 2.8. A tight, low-scoring affair is expected, with a predicted final score of 1-0 to United. If you’re feeling bold, betting on a 0-0 halftime score could also be worth considering.

Historically, home teams have won 50.2% of Europa League matches, and with United’s superior squad and home advantage, they should edge this one. However, Sociedad have proven they can cause an upset—so don’t count them out completely.

Final verdict? Manchester United to win at 1.84 is the best bet, with a solid confidence rating of 7.9/10. Expect a tactical battle, but in the end, Old Trafford should witness another European night in favor of the Red Devils.
