First takes on last in Group E of the Europa League as Real Sociedad travel to GSP Stadium to take on Omonia Nicosia in their round five tie on Thursday night.
The two sides have recorded contrasting fortunes in Group E of the competition this season, with Omonia losing all their four matches and as result they bottom of the table on zero points, while Real Sociedad have won all their four group matches so far and currently sit at the top of the group, three points in the clear.
With two games remaining to go, Omonia have nothing to play for in this clash, but they will want to at least finish with a point in this group, while Sociedad need four points to seal their last 16 place in the competition, but a win on Thursday could be enough depending on the result from the other group fixture.
Omonia are coming off a 3-0 defeat in their domestic league fixture, extending their losing-streak to five matches across all competitions and they therefore have a lot to amend before the clash.
Real Sociedad, on the other hand, are coming off a 1-0 away defeat to Valladolid in La Liga, which ended their eight-match winning streak across all competitions. They will want to quickly bounce back on Thursday and having won in the reverse fixture, Sociedad should fancy their chances.
