Real Madrid vs Real Sociedad Preview and Team News

Real Madrid Team News

Although Real Madrid defeated Leganés 3-2, the match revealed the squad’s physical limits. Despite dominating the game, the team went from a 1-0 lead to trailing 2-1 after individual mistakes allowed Los Pepineros to take over. 

Similarly to Barcelona, Real Madrid struggled to find the key to unlock their rivals’ block. It took a brace from Mbappé, which included a controversial penalty, for his side to secure the three points. A victory was required not to let Barcelona slip away, as Ancelotti’s men trail Barça by three points.

Just like Barcelona, Madrid now have to choose which tournament to focus on. They’ve never prioritised the competition in the past, instead preferring to focus on the Champions League. However, with the 1-0 victory in the first leg, nobody would blame Ancelotti for prioritizing the Copa del Rey.

Dani Carvajal, Dani Ceballos, Éder Militao, Ferland Mendy, and Thibaut Courtois are out with injuries.

Real Sociedad Team News

Real Sociedad defeated Real Valladolid in a much-needed 2-1 victory, thanks to goals from Gómez and Oyarzabal. The latter had been criticized throughout the season for missing chances, which led him to prove his doubters wrong with the Spanish National Team. 

He scored with La Roja, which secured qualification for the next round of the Nations League. This led coach Imanol Alguacil to say that ‘he will always score with Real Sociedad.

The 2-1 victory against Real Valladolid marked the club’s first win in a month. Their last success was back in February, a 3-0 defeat against Leganés. It should be noted that his is another relegation-threatened side, which demonstrates Real Sociedad’s struggles throughout the season. 

Arsen Zakharyan, Brais Méndez, Jon Pacheco, Nayef Aguerd, and Sheraldo Becker remain sidelined due to injuries.

Real Madrid vs Real Sociedad Prediction

• Prediction: Real Madrid to win
• Odds: 1.34 (22Bet)
• Score Prediction: Real Madrid 2-0 Real Sociedad 

While Real Sociedad often dominate their matches, they struggle to convert their positional advantage into tangible chances in the final third. This makes them the perfect prey for Real Madrid, a team used to suffering only to claim a victory through their superstars. 

While rotations are likely as the priorities remain the Champions League and La Liga, it would come as a surprise if Madrid would fail to beat Real Sociedad in the Bernabéu. The home advantage only adds to it.

Real Madrid vs Real Sociedad Betting Tip

• Pick: Kylian Mbappé to score 
• Odds: 1.76 (22Bet)

Mbappé has been the man to rise to the occasion, which now proves that investing in him despite early challenges was the right decision. 

He remains humble and continues to distance himself from the Cristiano Ronaldo comparisons. Even if Madrid lack the collective brilliance to dominate their matches, Mbappé keeps saving his team from a disaster.

If anyone would score at the Bernabéu as a hero, it’s Mbappé.
