2 – Under 2.5 goals scored – 4/5
3 – Both teams to score – 3/4
4 – 1-1 after 90 minutes – 5/1
5 – Inter to score under 1.5 goals – 4/7
Real Sociedad return to the Champions League after a nine-year absence and face last season’s beaten finalists in their very first group stage game. La Real have been a regular fixture in the Europa League recently but have not been able to go further than the opening phase.
Getting out of a Champions League group that also includes RB Salzburg and Benfica will also be a tough task for Imanol and his players – and some good performances in front of their own fans will be crucial for any degree of success.
It has been a so-so start to the new La Liga campaign for Real Sociedad, with the club having to wait for the fourth game of the season for a first win. Even though a victory here will be at the forefront of La Real minds on Wednesday, a close game should be expected.
Simone Inzaghi will be looking at this group and expecting to finish in the top two, so getting something from the trip to San Sebastián will be a priority. Inter have begun the Serie A season in fine form and have benefitted from new players settling in quickly.
The additions to the forward line have been especially positive but there might be some overconfidence shown by the fans for this opening Champions League game. A point away from home would be a perfectly acceptable result for the Nerazzurri – and that is exactly what should be expected here.

Real Sociedad vs. Inter line-ups
Real Sociedad (4-3-3): Remiro; Traoré, Zubeldia, Le Normand, Tierney; Merino, Zubimendi, Méndez; Kubo, Oyarzabal, Barrenetxea
Inter (3-5-2): Sommer; Darmian, Bastomi, de Vrij; Dumfries, Frattesi, Barella, Calhanoglu, Dimarco; Thuram, Martinez
Real Sociedad team news
Imanol will probably look to an unchanged starting XI to kick things off in the Champions League this season. He may well be without André Silva up front again, so club legend Mikel Oyarzabal will be the focal point of the attack.
Inter team news
If Inter come out of the Derby della Madonnina at the weekend largely unscathed, Simone Inzaghi will also put out a starting XI that has done so well already this season. Davide Frattesi could start in the middle but the main goal threat will come from Lautaro Martinez and Marcus Thuram up front.
