Real Sociedad vs Real Madrid Prediction & Preview

Real Sociedad vs Real Madrid Match Analysis

Real Sociedad enters this crucial fixture against Real Madrid with an impressive recent run in La Liga.

They have remained undefeated in their last five league matches, collecting 11 valuable points. However, their performance at home has been a concern, with just one win in their last five fixtures at the Reale Arena. Despite this, their overall form has significantly elevated their position in the league, setting sights on a potential Europa League qualification.

On the other hand, Real Madrid approaches this match buoyed by their recent victory in the El Clasico, which brought them closer to clinching the La Liga title. Following their exit from the Copa Del Rey earlier in the year, Los Blancos have maintained an undefeated streak across all competitions.

Real Madrid’s away form has been imposing, securing three wins and two draws in their last five league matches on the road. Conversely, Real Sociedad has struggled to find success in front of their home crowd, managing just one win while suffering four defeats in their last five home games.

In terms of defensive statistics, there is a slight advantage for Real Madrid, conceding on average 0.7 goals per match compared to Real Sociedad’s 1.1 goals per match.

Carlo Ancelotti, the manager of Real Madrid, enjoys the luxury of a relatively injury-free squad, allowing him to rotate players strategically with an eye on upcoming Champions League fixtures. Meanwhile, Real Sociedad will be boosted by the return of key players like Martin Zubimendi and Igor Xubeldia from suspension.

Recent Encounters

Looking back at their recent clashes, Real Madrid emerged victorious in the last meeting at the Santiago Bernabeu with a 2-1 scoreline, thanks to Fran Garcia’s crucial assists.

Madrid has dominated this fixture historically, winning three out of the last five encounters with only one defeat. Real Sociedad has struggled to find the net against Madrid, scoring only two goals in these matches.
