Real Madrid vs Real Sociedad Preview and Team News

Real Madrid Team News

Real Madrid sit second in the standings and remain firmly in the title race with Barcelona. They’ve won four of their last five outings, which means that form is on their side. 

In their recent 2-0 win over Valencia, a 4-4-2 formation served them well, with midfielders Federico Valverde and Aurelien Tchouameni controlling possession. The former completed the most passes (67) in that clash, and the latter won the most duels (11).

Los Blancos have scored a whopping 14 goals across their last five matches, averaging almost three per game, and have conceded just six. 

Raul Asencio and Rodrygo are sidelined due to various ailments. Eder Militao, too, has been ruled out but is expected to return later this month, while Jude Bellingham is unlikely to be back until March.

Real Madrid predicted lineup vs Real Sociedad (4-4-2): Courtois; Carreras, Huijsen, Rudiger, Alexander-Arnold; Camavinga, Tchouameni, Valverde, Guler; Diaz, Mbappe.

Real Sociedad Team News

Real Sociedad enter this match in even better form than Real Madrid, having gone five games unbeaten, though they currently sit eighth in the table. 

They eked out a narrow 1-0 win over Athletic Club on Wednesday in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semifinal. They posted 53% possession and a passing accuracy of 82%. 

In defense, La Real made nine interceptions and the same number of tackles, along with six blocks and 34 clearances. However, it was their aerial duel winning success rate of 67% that made them stand out. 

Sociedad have a few injured players in their squad. Luka Sucic, Ander Barrenetxea, Takefusa Kubo, and Unai Marrero have been sidelined. Brais Mendez, meanwhile, is suspended.

Real Sociedad predicted lineup vs Real Madrid (4-2-3-1): Remiro; Gomez, Caleta-Car, Martin, Aramburu; Turrientes, Gorrotxategi; Ochieng, Soler, Marin; Oyarzabal.

Real Madrid vs Real Sociedad Prediction

• Pick: Real Madrid to win
• Odds: -270 (20Bet)
• Correct score prediction: Real Madrid 3-1 Real Sociedad

We expect Real Madrid to win. They sit above Sociedad in the table and also hold a clear historical advantage, having beaten them in the reverse fixture 2-1 in September 2025. Moreover, Los Blancos have avoided defeat in 29 of their last 34 meetings with La Real. 

They have form going their way too (four wins in their last five outings). At home, Madrid have lost just once in 11 matches this season. As such, Sociedad’s chances don’t look too good.

Real Madrid vs Real Sociedad Prediction, Betting Tip

• Pick: Both teams to score
• Odds: -143 (20Bet)

We expect both teams to score. This happened in their September 2025 meeting (Real Madrid 2-1) and in two of their last three head-to-head encounters at the Bernabeu. 

Madrid have been voracious in the final third this season, scoring 49 goals, 25 of which have come at home. Sociedad haven’t shied away either, finding the back of the net on 33 occasions this season. 

But, adding to La Real‘s woes will be the presence of Kylian Mbappe, the leading goalscorer of La Liga, with a combined 39 strikes across all competitions. Arda Guler is also a threat, having recorded 10 goal involvements in La Liga.
