La Liga: Real Sociedad Vs Real Madrid Predictions (26/04/2024)

Real Sociedad will host Real Madrid in the derby on Friday to begin round 33 of the current La Liga season. La Real Madrid is vying for a berth in the Europa League and would undoubtedly be content with a point from this match.  Critical midfielder Brais Mendez is still in the recuperation area, whereas Martin Zubimendi and Igor Zubeldia have returned from suspension to provide the hosts with some positive news.

In contrast, Los Blancos demonstrated their worth by defeating their fierce rivals Barcelona 3-2 and drawing one step closer to claiming their 36th La Liga championship. Real Madrid, on the other hand, will be focused on their Champions League match against Bayern Munich, and given Carlo Ancelotti's anticipated roster reshuffle, a home victory should be taken into account. Prior to their journey to San Sebastian, the visiting team does not have any new injury concerns.

Our Predictions

Real Madrid to win

Real Madrid are riding an extraordinary surge of momentum after securing a 3-2 victory over their archrivals in El Clasico last weekend amid an astonishing comeback. With a renowned double-winning campaign at the forefront of their minds and an 11-point lead at the top of the table, Los Blancos should be on the lookout for another possible opportunity. 

Having suffered a single loss in their last eight meetings with Sociedad, they will be seeking to capitalize on the fact that La Real has developed a reputation for having severe home problems.

Real Madrid to score over 2.5 goals

The last time Real Madrid paid a visit to Real Sociedad, they were easily defeated 2-0. The visitors, however, are anticipated to prevail and score a lot of goals this time around due to their current form.
