Real Sociedad vs Real Madrid

Real Madrid will put their 100% record on the line when they travel to the Reale Arena for a Spanish La Liga clash against Real Sociedad.

Los Blancos will be feeling confident heading into Saturday's clash, given their fine record in this fixture. They should get the better of the hosts, who are struggling to find their feet in the early stages of the season.

Real Sociedad News

Real Sociedad are coming off a 1-0 defeat at newly promoted Real Oviedo in their previous La Liga fixture. They fell behind just before the break and despite seeing plenty of possession, failed to get back into the contest.

That result means Real Sociedad remain without a win this season and played out a 2-2 home draw with Espanyol in their previous fixture. Manager Sergio Francisco will be keen to get off the mark, but their home form is unconvincing at the moment, having failed to win their last four league matches at Reale Arena, stretching back to last season.

One of the problems for Real Sociedad this season is a lack of discipline at the back, as they are without a clean sheet in all three of their matches so far. Their last two La Liga home fixtures have produced over 2.5 goals.

Real Madrid News

In contrast to the hosts, Real Madrid have impressed this season, winning their opening three matches. They head into Saturday's clash off the back of a 2-1 home victory over Mallorca last time out in La Liga.

Real Madrid appear to be finding their rhythm under manager Xabi Alonso, having scored seven goals across their three matches so far. The last two matches have produced over 2.5 goals, while they have led at the break in both fixtures.

To go with their good form this season, Real Madrid are also solid on their travels and will be feeling confident traveling to the Reale Arena. They have won four of their last five La Liga away matches, stretching back to last season.

Head to Head

Real Madrid have seven wins and four draws, while Real Sociedad have picked up just one victory in the last 12 matches. Los Blancos did the double in the league last season, earning a 1-0 away win before a 2-0 home victory in the reverse fixture.

Verdict

Real Sociedad v Real Madrid

Real Madrid are often superior in this fixture, and given Real Sociedad’s struggles this season, that dominance is expected to continue. Having won the last four meetings, the visitors could be set for another victory on Saturday.

Los Blancos’ last two matches have produced over 2.5 goals, and a similar outcome could be expected here. They have also won the first half in both fixtures and could be set for a repeat.
