Real Madrid are three wins away from winning the La Liga title, starting with their trip to Anoeta to go one-on-one against the hosts Real Sociedad on Friday, with kickoff slated for 19:00 GMT.
Key Highlights
Real Sociedad Looking to End their Two-Match Winless Run in La Liga
After three straight wins in La Liga, Real Sociedad have been held to two consecutive draws and lost their momentum in their fight for European places. Draws at home to Almeria (2-2) and away to Getafe (1-1) have seen Sociedad sit 6th on the table with 51 points, seven behind fifth-placed Athletic Club and three ahead of seventh-placed Real Betis.
Up next, they host the in-form Real Madrid, looking to wrap up their title after vanquishing their closest challengers Barcelona at the Bernabeu last weekend.
Sociedad will focus on solidity and compactness when they host Real Madrid. This will allow them to nullify the Real Madrid attack while offering their attackers a platform to hurt the Los Blancos rearguard.
After Beating Barcelona in the Clasico, Real Madrid are Focusing on Wrapping Up the La Liga Title
Carlo Ancelotti’s men have won the last five matches in La Liga. Having lost just once in 32 matches this season, Los Blancos’ form has been brilliant all season.
The win over Barcelona last weekend took them to an 81-point tally, 11 ahead of Barcelona, and thus three wins away from winning La Liga.
Ancelotti will have to balance the focus on La Liga with the upcoming semi-final clash against Bayern Munich in the Champions League.
With the first leg at the Allianz Arena, Real Madrid will look to get the players fresh and ready for the trip to Bavaria, which will affect their thinking in the clash against Sociedad.
