Match Preview
PSG will feel as though they have one foot in the quarterfinals of the Champions League this season after securing a 2-0 home win in their first leg against Real Sociedad. The French side were excellent from start to finish in the first clash between the teams, with Kylian Mbappe opening the scoring, before Bradley Barcola extending that advantage with 20 minutes remaining.
Sociedad were really poor in that opening leg, as they failed to register a single shot on target. This week’s match will be their first home fixture in the knockout stage of the Champions League since losing against Lyon in the 2004-05 season. But, PSG have recorded just two wins in their last 12 matches in Spain.

Barcelona were the last Spanish side to lose a first leg by a two-goal margin in the Champions League. However, they still managed to progress after securing a 6-1 win in the second leg against PSG. This will be the 10th time that PSG have taken an advantage into the second leg, but they have only progressed from five previous ties.
Sociedad’s home record could be a key consideration this week, as they have only been behind for 37 minutes in the competition. Meanwhile, they haven’t trailed in any home fixture that they have played so far this term.
Real Sociedad vs PSG Prediction
Sociedad have an excellent record in home matches this season, and that could be a key factor to consider this week. Therefore, we could see them winning this fixture, but not by the required margin to progress through to the next round.
