2.20Tip and bets
There is no doubt that Real Sociedad will aim to take the initiative on their home turf. However, the Spanish side's recent performance has been underwhelming, making it unlikely that the Basques can keep a clean sheet against a well-performing Anderlecht, who have started the season strong. We suggest placing a bet that there will be no zeros on the scoreboard when the final whistle blows.
Our prediction is both teams to score at odds of 1.96

The struggles of Real Sociedad are bound to come to an end. It’s possible that this happened in their recent match against Valencia (3-0). Anderlecht is a manageable opponent, especially at home. Let's place a bet on the Spanish side to secure their second consecutive victory.
Our prediction - Real Sociedad to win with odds of 1.60
