Real Madrid have established clear dominance over Real Sociedad in recent La Liga clashes, recording six consecutive wins. The trend is expected to continue in their upcoming meeting on Wednesday, with Madrid favored to secure another victory. However, maintaining a clean sheet may prove challenging, suggesting both teams are likely to score. The key takeaway is Madrid's continued superiority but with a potential defensive lapse.

Real Madrid are off to a good start under Jose Mourinho, and I will back them to keep the momentum going on Wednesday. I like Sociedad’s chances of scoring at Bernabeu, but only as consolation. 

Key Stats  


  • Real Madrid have won 8 of their last 9 matches (including pre-season). 
  • Real Madrid have seen BTTS in 5 of their last 7 matches (including pre-season). 
  • Real Madrid have won their last 6 matches against Real Sociedad (La Liga). 
  • Real Madrid have seen BTTS in 3 of their last 4 matches against Real Sociedad. 
  • Real Sociedad have lost their last 4 matches (including pre-season). 
  • Real Sociedad have seen BTTS in 4 of their last 5 matches. 

121-Years-Old Rivalry 


This is going to be the 186th time these two sides lock horns. Real Madrid have a 104-38 advantage in terms of victories, 43 matches ending without a winner. 

Los Blancos Got Their Confidence Up 


Real Madrid claimed three points with a 2-1 win over Espanyol in their La Liga opening match last weekend.  

It was a well-deserved victory, with Los Blancos posting 2.70-1.05 xG and 21-8 shots, but they had to wait until stoppage time to score the winning goal (Carlos Espi on target). 

Espi appeared on the scoresheet frequently during pre-season too, bagging goals in victories over Schalke 3-0 and Ferencvaros 2-1. 

Sociedad Unlucky in the Opener 


Real Sociedad probably deserved more from their season-opening clash against Real Betis, losing in Sevilla 1-0 despite having higher xG 1.36-1.24 and more goal chances 2-1 (Orri Oskarsson missed both). 

The San Sebastian side underperformed in La Liga last season, collecting just 46 points and finishing just above the relegation zone, while they won the Copa del Rey against Atletico Madrid on penalties to secure a spot in the Europa League. 

Pellegrino Matarazzo's side had poor results in their pre-season friendlies earlier this month, recording consecutive losses to Toulouse 2-1, Koln 2-1 and Chelsea 3-1. 

Team News & Predicted Lineups 


Real Madrid (4-2-3-1) Thibaut Courtois; Denzel Dumfries, Ibrahima Konate, Dean Huijsen, Dani Carvajal; Federico Valverde, Aurelien Tchouameni; Arda Guler, Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Junior; Kylian Mbappe 

Eder Militao, Ferland Mendy, and Raul Asencio ruled out alongside Rodrygo for the home side. Real's saviour in the first round Carlos Espi is expected to start on bench. 

Real Sociedad (4-3-3) Alex Remiro; Jon Aramburu, Igor Zubeldia, Jon Martin, Aihen Munoz; Benat Turrientes, Martin Zubimendi, Sergio Gomez; Takefusa Kubo, Sheraldo Becker, Orri Oskarsson 

Alvaro Odriozola won’t travel to Madrid due to an injury, while Mikel Oyarzabal is expected to start on bench since he joined group training late due to heavy WC 2026 campaign with Spain.

Verdict

Real Madrid have dominated Real Sociedad in recent La Liga seasons, winning six league games in a row. I am backing them to extend this run on Wednesday but not with a clean sheet.
