Last Game Records

Real Madrid has an excellent record in this fixture, which is evident by the Real Sociedad odds. Los Blancos has not lost any of the previous six meetings between the sides, winning on four occasions. The latest win for Sociedad in this fixture was a 3-1 success at the Bernabeu in May 2019.

Real Madrid’s home record in this fixture has also been impressive, as they have lost just once in the previous 15 meetings between the sides in the Spanish capital.

Real Madrid vs. Real Sociedad Betting Analysis

Hosts Bidding To Cut Barcelona’s Advantage

Real Madrid will be aware of the size of their challenge this term if they are to retain their La Liga title. Coming into today’s La Liga matches, the reigning champions are three points behind Barcelona, and also have an inferior goal difference.

Los Blancos’s form since the restart has been slightly disappointing, as they have won just once in two league outings. Since the World Cup, the hosts this weekend also lost in the Supercopa de Espana against Barcelona.

However, the hosts will be favored in the Real Madrid vs Real Sociedad betting markets after impressive in the Copa del Rey in midweek. Real battled strongly to see off cross-city rivals Atletico 3-1, with two of their goals being scored in extra time. Karim Benzema was back on the scoresheet, while there was also a welcome return to form for Vinicius Jr.

But, it is worth considering that they were pushed to play 120 minutes before making any Real Madrid picks this weekend. A number of players are likely to be fatigued, which means that stars such as Luka Modric and Benzema may be rested. Meanwhile, the champions will be missing David Alaba, Aurelien Tchoumeni, and Eden Hazard, who all remain sidelined.

Sociedad Looking To Maintain Winning Sequence

Few sides have impressed as much as Real Sociedad throughout this season. They come into this fixture having won their previous five, and they will be looking to win six straight games in La Liga for the first time since November 2020 this weekend. They have upset the La Liga picks in the race for the top four already this term, as they sit third with a healthy seven-point advantage over Atletico Madrid.

A title challenge remains unlikely, but they could move level on points with Real Madrid this weekend if they are able to pick up a famous victory at the Bernabeu. Sociedad has been excellent in the league since returning to action, as they have won all four games that they played, conceding once over that period.

However, this will be their first big test since the restart, as they look to avoid back-to-back defeats in all competitions after being beaten 1-0 by Barcelona in the Copa del Rey on Wednesday. Before making any La Liga picks, it’s important to assess the players missing for the visitors. A number of key stars will be absent for this fixture, including Mikel Merino, David Silva, and Jon Pacheco.
