Real Sociedad vs Lyon Competition – Europa League Stadium: Reale Arena Date: 5th November 2026 Kick-off time – 17:45 GMT
Two points separate Lyon and Real Sociedad in the Europa League league phase table before Thursday’s meeting at the Reale Arena, with the visitors 12th on six and the hosts 14th on four. It is the first competitive meeting between the clubs since 2013. Both played on Sunday, with contrasting results. Real Sociedad lost 2-1 at Athletic Club, while Lyon beat Angers 2-0 at home. Kick-off is at 5:45pm GMT.
Real Sociedad have three wins, a draw and a defeat from their last five, scoring 15 and conceding six. Sunday’s 2-1 defeat at Athletic Club ended a three-game winning run. A week earlier they beat Levante 2-1 at the Reale Arena, and before that they won 6-0 at Lillestrom in the Europa League and 5-2 at Malaga in the league. The oldest result is a 1-1 draw away to Royale Union SG in Europe. Eleven of their 15 goals came in the two wins at Lillestrom and Malaga.
Lyon have won three and lost two of their last five. Sunday’s 2-0 home win over Angers ended a two-game losing run in which they failed to score, losing 2-0 at PSG and 3-0 at Hoffenheim in the Europa League. The two oldest results were both home wins, 2-1 over Nice in Ligue 1 and 3-2 against Crystal Palace in Europe. That leaves seven goals scored and eight conceded. Lyon won all three of their home games in the sample and lost both of their away matches.
The clubs have not met in a competitive fixture since August 2013, and the five meetings in the sample are evenly split, with two wins each and a draw. The most recent was a 2-0 Real Sociedad win at home in a Champions League tie in August 2013, eight days after they had also won 2-0 in Lyon. The sides drew 1-1 in a 2012 friendly, and Lyon’s two wins came in 2004, 1-0 at home and 1-0 away. In both two-legged ties, one side won both legs.
Lyon sit 12th in the league phase on six points, two ahead of 14th-placed Real Sociedad on four. A Real Sociedad win would take them to seven points, level with the four sides from sixth to ninth, while a Lyon win would lift them to nine, level with the top five on current standings.
