The UEFA Europa League returns to the fold with another round of matches this week as FC Sheriff lock horns with an impressive Real Sociedad outfit at the Estadio Anoeta on Thursday.
Real Sociedad vs FC Sheriff Preview
FC Sheriff are currently at the top of the Moldovan National Division and have been impressive on the domestic front this season. The away side edged Dinamo-Auto to a 1-0 victory over the weekend and will need to work hard to win this fixture.
Real Sociedad, on the other hand, are in sixth place in the La Liga table at the moment and have been fairly inconsistent this season. La Real defeated Villarreal by a 1-0 scoreline in their previous game and will be confident ahead of this match.

- Real Sociedad have a good record against FC Sheriff on the European stage and have won the only match that has been played between the two teams by a comfortable 2-0 margin.
- Real Sociedad are one of only five teams with a perfect record in the UEFA Europa League this season and have conceded only one goal in their three games in the competition.
