Real Madrid vs Real Sociedad Preview and Team News
Real Madrid Team News
Real Madrid play against Real Sociedad in their second match of the new La Liga season. Jose Mourinho, who is back at the helm, will be pleased by the fact that his side have been victorious in four out of their last five matches, drawing the other.
Madrid recently defeated Espanyol by a narrow 2-1 scoreline in the first round, in which Jude Bellingham and substitute Carlos Espi got onto the scoresheet. Bellingham, in particular, appeared to be operating at another level altogether.
He had a passing accuracy of 95% and also completed the joint-most dribbles (3). Striker Kylian Mbappe, as usual, stood out, too, by making the most touches (10) in the opposition box and taking the most shots (10).
However, Los Blancos have a long list of injured players in their ranks. Eder Militao, Ferland Mendy, Raul Asencio, Aurelien Tchouameni, Thiago Pitarch, Endrick and Rodrygo are all ruled out.
Real Madrid predicted lineup vs Real Sociedad (4-2-3-1): Courtois; Carreras, Huijsen, Konate, Dumfries; Valverde, Silva; Vinicius, Bellingham, Guler; Mbappe.
Real Sociedad Team News
Real Sociedad tasted defeat in their opening La Liga fixture, against Real Betis, and as a result, are ranked 17th in the standings. They also lost three games prior to that, taking them to four losses in their last five outings.
Against Betis, Sociedad were not quite outplayed and were able to keep 52% of the ball. But they did not do anything productive with it, taking just nine shots, of which three were on target. La Real created two big chances, and missed both of them.
Winger Ander Barrenetxea was found wanting, as he ended the evening with a poor xG + xA of 0.07. Even his passing accuracy of 73% appeared pitiful. Defensive midfielder Yangel Herrera, meanwhile, lost all the aerial duels he entered into, and won just 38% of all ground duels.
The visitors will have to make do without the likes of Goncalo Guedes, Alvaro Odriozola, Jon Gorrotxategi and Pablo Marin, who are all injured.
Real Sociedad predicted lineup vs Real Madrid (4-2-3-1): Remiro; Gomez, Martin, Zubeldia, Aramburu; Soler, Herrera; Barrenetxea, Sucic, Kubo; Oyarzabal.
Real Madrid vs Real Sociedad Prediction
- Pick: Real Madrid to win
- Odds: -256 (20Bet)
- Correct score prediction: Real Madrid 3-0 Real Sociedad
Real Madrid’s form has been far better than that of Real Sociedad, and this momentum will help them win. The history shared between these clubs also points towards a Los Blancos victory.
Madrid have beaten Sociedad in 25 out of the last 35 meetings between these teams. What’s more, five of those clashes were drawn, meaning that Madrid lost just five times to Sociedad. At home, Madrid have lost just twice in their last 18 matches against La Real.
Real Madrid vs Real Sociedad Prediction, Betting Tip
- Pick: Kylian Mbappe to score
- Odds: -169 (20Bet)
The signs are ominous: Mbappe is expected to score. The talisman failed to get on the scoresheet against Espanyol, but his underlying numbers suggest a goal is coming soon. Mbappe’s numbers against Espanyol cannot be ignored: xG of 1.53 and xG + xA of 1.57.
The Frenchman made a total of 66 touches, 10 of which were in the opposition box. He created a chance for his side and also took three shots on target. Fans will also remember that Mbappe won La Liga’s Golden Boot award last season with 25 goals. He also finished the 2026 FIFA World Cup as its leading goalscorer (10).
