Match Overview
Real Madrid host Real Sociedad in a match in the fifth round of La Liga at the Santiago Bernabeu on 17 September, Sunday. The visiting side will want to go back with better memories than what they had the last two times they visited. On one occasion, they were treated to a 1-4 defeat while they played out a goalless draw on the other.
Key Highlights
Real Sociedad will take a lot of confidence from the fact that they managed to beat Real Madrid by a 2-0 scoreline the last time these two teams met each other, in May earlier this year. That was one of the five wins that they have managed to get over Real Madrid in the past. Things have not been easy at all for Sociedad, but they will take great heart from that victory.
Injury Report
Real Madrid have a long list of injured players in their ranks which includes the likes of Vinicius Junior, Eder Militao and Daniel Ceballos among others. Andre Silva and Martin Merquelanz are among those missing out for Real Sociedad.
Prediction
Ranked 2nd in goals scored per match (2 goals), Real Madrid. Unbeaten in their last 10 home games, Real Madrid will back themselves to win this one as well. Real Sociedad, on the other hand, are ranked 4th in goals scored per match (1.8 goals). Brais Méndez has created the most big chances for Real Sociedad (2). Still, we expect Real Madrid to win this game.
