Real Sociedad-Real Madrid

Real Sociedad hosts Real Madrid in what promises to be an intriguing encounter. Recent head-to-head matches show a mixed bag of results: Real Madrid edged out Sociedad 1-0 in a close match, while Sociedad managed to claim a 2-0 victory over Madrid in another recent meeting. The last showdown between the two ended in a 2-1 win for Real Madrid.

Real Sociedad’s form has been inconsistent lately. They ground out a goalless draw against Getafe, secured a narrow victory over Alaves, and edged past Rayo Vallecano. However, they also stumbled to a 2-1 defeat to Union Berlin and similarly to Alaves.

Real Madrid, on the other hand, have displayed a stronger consistency. They recently defeated Betis 2-0 and Valladolid 3-0 at home but were held to 1-1 draws against both Las Palmas and Mallorca. Their defensive prowess saw them shut out Atalanta 2-0.

Given the form and historical performance, Real Madrid appear to have an edge, though Sociedad’s home advantage and capacity to occasionally spring surprises will make for a tightly contested match. Expect both teams to contribute to the scoreboard in a match likely to feature over 2.5 goals.
