Sociedad host Dynamo Kyiv tonight in the best form of their season so far. They have won 6 of their last 7 matches to nil, including impressive victories over Barcelona, Ajax and Betis. The Spanish side had a mixed start to their Europa League campaign, with unexpected defeats to Plzen and Anderlecht leaving them playing catch up in 16th place in the table.

Dynamo Kyiv are three points clear in the Ukrainian league but come into this tie as the only side in the Europa League without a point, having scored just one goal in their first five matches and conceding twelve. They would need a miracle to save their Europa League campaign and may well prioritise their final domestic match of the year this coming weekend.

Whilst leading the Ukrainian league, recent performances haven't been up to scratch for Dynamo. Following a 2-1 'home' defeat to Viktoria Plzen last time out, Dynamo Kyiv drew with Kolos Kovalivka and Oleksandria on league duty, producing just 2.26 xG and 7 shots on target across these two matches, in spite of being big favourites. They played Oleksandria again in their last match, this time winning 3-0. Despite this comfortable scoreline, they produced just 1.3 xG and scored with all three of their shots on target.

Sociedad defeated promoted side Leganes 3-0 at the weekend in a comfortable run out, but lost strong LB Aihen Munoz to injury. Thankfully Sociedad have a capable deputy in Javi Lopez who has played well when relied upon this season. The Spaniards were clinical against Ajax in their match last round and will be aware that they are required to win their two remaining home matches against Dynamo and PAOK in order to live up to expectations.

Real Sociedad's defensive exploits of late, coupled with Dynamo Kyiv's poor chance creation of late and extremely thin chance of progressing in the tournament means that the -1.0 handicap line holds good value tonight.
