Real Madrid

WLWLWW

Real Madrid, following on from their previous result, will be hoping for more of the same after the 0-2 La Liga triumph over Sevilla.

In that match, Real Madrid had 62% possession and 16 attempts at goal with 6 of them on target. For Real Madrid, the scorers were Kylian Mbappé (75') and Jude Bellingham (87'). Sevilla had 6 attempts on goal with 1 on target.

Fixtures with Real Madrid have tended to be lively encounters of late with a lot of goalmouth action the rule rather than the exception. Over their past 6 games, the sum of 23 goals have flown in for both teams combined (at an average of 3.83 goals per game) with 13 of these accredited to Real Madrid.

Taking a look at their past results, Real Madrid:

• have not lost a league tie with Real Sociedad in their last 3 games.
• are unbeaten in their previous 3 league matches at home.

Real Sociedad

DLDLLW

Real Sociedad head into the meeting following a 3-2 La Liga win with the defeat of Girona FC in their previous outing.

In that match, Real Sociedad had 54% possession and 15 attempts on goal with 9 on target. For Real Sociedad, the goals were scored by Pablo Marín (5'), Mikel Oyarzabal (20') and Arkaitz Mariezkurrena (91'). Girona had 9 attempts on goal with 5 of them on target. Cristhian Stuani (10') and Portu (77') scored for Girona FC.

The stats don’t lie, and Real Sociedad have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 games, seeing opposing sides hit 10 goals in all. At the back, Real Sociedad have not been doing too well. That trend won’t necessarily be sustained here, however.

Their past results show that Real Sociedad:

• have left without a victory over Real Madrid when they have played them away from home in the previous 5 league games. Not good at all.
• are without a win away from home in their last 3 matches in the league.

ℹ️ Team News: Real Madrid

Vinicius Junior (ankle sprain), Brahim Díaz (Torn muscle fiber in the adductor area), Ferland Mendy (Muscle injury), Lucas Vázquez (Muscle injury), David Alaba (Meniscus tear), Antonio Rüdiger (Tear of the lateral meniscus), Eduardo Camavinga (Hamstring injury), Endrick (Muscle injury), Éder Militão (Cruciate ligament tear) and Daniel Carvajal (Cruciate ligament tear) aren’t available for Real Madrid manager Carlo Ancelotti.

It looks as if Los Blancos will probably use the 4-3-1-2 formation for this game with Andriy Lunin, Lucas Vazquez, Jacobo Ramon, Jesus Vallejo, Francisco Garcia, Federico Valverde, Aurelien Tchouameni, Luka Modric, Arda Guler, Brahim Diaz and Kylian Mbappe.

ℹ️ Team News: Real Sociedad

We are inclined to think that Txuri-urdin will likely elect for a 4-4-2 formation, settling for Unai Marrero, Jon Aramburu, Jon Martin, Jon Pacheco, Aihen Munoz, Takefusa Kubo, Benat Turrientes, Luka Sucic, Sergio Gomez, A. Mariezkurrena and Pablo Marin.

💭 Prediction

It’s pretty clear that Real Sociedad won’t find it easy at all to be scoring even one goal against a Real Madrid outfit who should be able to control this match over the entire pitch.

We’re going for a very comfortable 3-0 victory for Real Madrid when the full-time whistle blows.
