Real Madrid vs Real Sociedad Prediction

Real Madrid Form

Real Madrid look back on their last three matches with two victories to show for their efforts. Against Barcelona, they were left empty-handed in a 4-3 defeat, but they avenged themselves by beating Mallorca in a 2-1 win. They followed that up with a 0-2 win against Sevilla in their most recent outing. Real Madrid showed little mercy in their past six matches at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, of which they won five, drew none and lost once. They hit the target 12 times, while letting in eight themselves.

Real Sociedad Form

Real Sociedad suffered a couple of disappointments in their last three matches as they were run over by Atletico Madrid in a 4-0 defeat. Celta Vigo also proved too hard to handle as they won 0-1, before Real Sociedad were able to strike back in a 3-2 win against Girona. Real Sociedad only have one paltry win to show from the last six away games in the LaLiga. In these six matches they drew two and lost three as well as being outscored by 14 goals to seven.

Real Sociedad were hoping to qualify for Europe, but this target looks increasingly difficult to reach, as we are reaching the business end of the season.

While we don't believe Real Sociedad are strong enough to prevent Real Madrid from a home win, we believe they are capable of limiting the defeat to only a few goals.

Real Sociedad claimed three wins and 12 points in their last 11 games against teams from the top six. They scored seven times in these matches, but also conceded 17 goals.
