Team News

Real Sociedad
Benfica
  • Real Sociedad will be without as many as five players for Wednesday's clash.
  • Benfica are without Orkun Kokcu, David Neres and Alexander Bah for the trip to San Sebastian.

Prediction

  • Real Sociedad were narrowly edged out by Barcelona in La Liga on Saturday, but have made a promising start in Europe so far.
  • La Real currently sit top of Group D, and could seal qualification for the knockout stages with a victory here.
  • Benfica, who made it to last season's quarter-finals, are still yet to pick up a point in the group stage this term.
  • The Portuguese side were narrowly beaten by Sociedad two weeks ago, and will have to hope for an upturn in form - and nothing short of a miracle - in order to qualify at this stage.
