Real Sociedad vs Real Madrid Preview

Real Sociedad are very strong when playing in front of the home crowd, winning their last five contests at Reale Arena. Los Blancos had a couple of surprising draws in La Liga recently, so I am backing a stalemate on Wednesday.

Stats

Real Sociedad are unbeaten in 12 of their last 13 home matches.
Real Sociedad have seen BTTS in 2 of their last 3 home matches.
Real Madrid are winless in 3 of their last 4 matches (La Liga).
Real Madrid have seen BTTS in 5 of their last 6 matches.

Head to Head

Real Madrid have a 34-13 advantage against Real Sociedad with 12 draws in 59 matches.

They last met in September, the game being won by Real Madrid 2-0 in San Sebastian.

Real Sociedad Form

Real Sociedad have been in fantastic form in the last couple of weeks, claiming five victories in their last six appearances across competitions.

The squad from San Sebastian had three straight victories in early February against Osasuna 2-0 (Spanish Cup), Espanyol 2-1 (La Liga) and Midtjylland 2-1 (Europa League playoffs) before losing to Real Betis 3-0.

They bounced back in the reverse tie against Midtjylland 5-2, while also outplaying Leganes 3-0 last weekend with Takefusa Kubo, Jon Olasagasti and Arsen Zakharyan finding the net.

Real Madrid Form

Real Madrid looked fantastic in their UEFA Champions League matches against Manchester City (won 3-2 in England, 3-1 at home), but struggled in La Liga, claiming just five points in last four games.

After suffering a shock 1-0 loss at Espanyol in early February, Los Blancos have drawn in the Madrid derby against Atletico 1-1, Kylian Mbappe scoring an equalizer in the second half.

After a controversial 1-1 draw against Osasuna in Pamplona, Carlo Ancelotti’s side returned to winning ways last weekend with a clean 2-0 home win against Girona, Luka Modric breaking the deadlock with a sensational goal, while Vinicius Jr doubled the lead in the 83rd minute.

Team News

Hosts will be without Luka Sucic, Jon Pacheco, Hamari Traore and Nayef Aguerd.

As for the visitors, Ancelotti can’t count on Eder Militao and Dani Carvajal who are out with long-term injuries, while Federico Valverde is doubtful.

Predicted Starting Lineups

Sociedad: Remiro, Aramburu, Zubeldia, Elustondo, Lopez, Zubimendi, Kubo, Olasagasti, Marin, Gomez, Oyarzabal

Real Madrid: Courtois, Vazquez, Asencio, Rudiger, Garcia, Ceballos, Modric, Rodrygo, Bellingham, Vinicius Jr, Mbappe

Verdict

Real Sociedad v Real Madrid

Real Madrid faced difficulties in La Liga this month, claiming just one win in their last four contests. Real Sociedad are strong at home, so I am expecting a close match to end in a draw. BTTS is also tipped.
