The Matchday 4 La Liga clash between Real Sociedad and Real Madrid will take place on September 13 at the Anoeta Stadium in San Sebastián. Real Sociedad vs. Real Madrid: prediction and betting odds, statistics.
Real Sociedad
Sergio Francisco's side continues to disappoint their fans. After two lackluster draws against Valencia (1-1) and Espanyol (2-2), the team suffered a 0-1 defeat away to La Liga newcomers Oviedo. As a result, the club has accumulated just 2 points, placing them 16th in the standings. It's also worth noting that in their last 11 league matches, the San Sebastián team has secured only one victory (4 draws and 6 losses).
- The team conceded first in 6 of their last 7 La Liga matches.
- Real Sociedad has conceded in 6 of their last 7 home league games.
- The Basque side has not been defeated in the second half in 14 of their last 17 home matches in La Liga (5 wins and 9 draws).
Predicted lineup for Real Sociedad (4-4-2)
Alejandro Remiro – Aihen Muñoz, Duje Caleta-Car, Jon Aramburu, Igor Zubeldia – Jon Gorrotxategi, Pablo Marín Tejada, Ander Barrenetxea, Takefusa Kubo – Orri Oskarsson, Mikel Oyarzabal.
Forward Orri Oskarsson might miss the match due to an injury. Defender Yangel Herrera is out due to injury.
Real Madrid
The capital club secured a comeback victory against Mallorca (2-1) in the last round. This was Real Madrid's third win in the current championship, allowing them to top the La Liga standings. Notably, Real Madrid's winning streak in the league has extended to 6 matches. Apart from Xabi Alonso's side, only Athletic has not dropped any points in this La Liga season.
- Real Madrid has won 10 of their last 11 La Liga matches.
- Exactly two or three goals have been scored in 5 of Real Madrid's last 6 league games.
- The team has kept a clean sheet in 4 of their last 5 away matches in La Liga.
Predicted lineup for Real Madrid (4-4-2)
Thibaut Courtois – Álvaro Carreras, Dean Heysen, Éder Militão, Trent Alexander-Arnold – Federico Valverde, Aurélien Tchouaméni, Arda Güler, Franco Mastantuono – Kylian Mbappé, Vinícius Júnior.
Forward Endrick Felipe, defender Ferland Mendy, and midfielders Eduardo Camavinga and Jude Bellingham are out due to injuries. Goalkeeper Andriy Lunin's participation in the match is doubtful.
Real Sociedad vs. Real Madrid: Match Prediction
The Basque side is in very poor form. Since April, the team has only managed to defeat Girona in the league, and at that time, the Catalans had already secured their place in La Liga and were unmotivated. In such a state, the San Sebastián team is simply not capable of taking points from the La Liga leaders and will likely lose again.
Only Barcelona has managed to stop Real Madrid in their last 11 league matches. In the other games, the capital club has emerged victorious. Real Madrid is in excellent form, with a few injuries, but even without those players, they are capable of handling all opponents in La Liga. It's also worth noting that Real Madrid has defeated Real Sociedad in their last 4 La Liga encounters.
My prediction – Real Madrid to win
