AI match recap
This is a demanding European away night for Real Sociedad, who carry the stronger overall expectation but arrive with important absences and a manager openly planning rotation. Lillestrøm will make Åråsen uncomfortable through a high press, quick wide attacks and an attacking mindset rather than a passive block. Real's route to control is clean circulation through the first press and sharp movement from Oyarzabal and Sucic around the area. The home side's best chance is to turn disrupted build-up play into early transitions before Real's deeper technical quality takes over.
Injuries and absences
Real Sociedad's absences at full-back and the confirmed non-travel of Yangel Herrera weaken both their defensive cover and midfield rotation against Lillestrøm's wing-focused plan. Lillestrøm's reported losses of Jebara and potentially Garnås would reduce central defensive resilience against Oyarzabal and Sucic.
