Command Analysis
Real Sociedad
SpainCurrent form
https://www.realsociedad.eus/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Real Sociedad ’s disappointing start to the La Liga campaign and the departure of Mikel Merino to Arsenal have been compounded by a series of injuries to key players. Mikel Oyarzabal is the latest to join a growing list of suspended players ahead of a busy month in which they also begin their UEFA Europa League campaign against Nice. Right now, their focus must be on the visit of Real Madrid, for whom they start as underdogs, having won just one of their last five head-to-head encounters here and lost their last three home league games. They have not lost four successive La Liga games at home since the start of 2007, but it is a potentially ominous sign that one of those defeats was inflicted by their next visitors.
Disqualifications and injuries
Zakharyan (ankle injury), Mendes (foot injury), Oyarzabal (ankle injury) and Traore (knee injury) will not be able to play today.
Interesting trends for betting
- Real Sociedad have failed to win 11 of their last 19 home league games when they were early favourites
Real Sociedad have only managed to win one of their last five head-to-head encounters, which is unlikely to promise success for the Basques with their huge losses today.
- Since the beginning of 2007, the "white-blues" have not lost four consecutive Primera matches on their home field
History could repeat itself, as one defeat in that series was inflicted by today's visitors, who are in excellent form.
Probable line-up : Remiro - Jimenez, Cardona, Martin, Lopez - Marin, Gonzalez, Mendez, Barrent - Becker.
Real Madrid
SpainCurrent form
With England's current advertising man Jude Bellingham back in training, things are looking up for the reigning La Liga champions on the injury front. Defensive issues remain with Eder Militao and David Alaba unavailable, but Carlo Ancelotti's side will be hoping to build on their slow start to their title defence. Two away draws made it the first campaign since 2012/13 in which the Whites failed to win either of their opening two away league games. However, their good record here suggests they will soon go into the game as favourites, while their current unbeaten run in La Liga away from the Santiago Bernabeu now stands at 17 matches.
Disqualifications and injuries
Alaba (knee injury), Camavinga (knee injury), Ceballos (ankle injury) and Ramon (bruise) are out.
Interesting trends for betting
- Real Madrid have kept a clean sheet in the first half in nine of their last ten head-to-head encounters on this day.
Madrid should be confident of success given the class and experience of their players, unlike Real Sociedad, who are unlikely to even be able to keep control of the ball away from the opponent's goal.
- Real Madrid have not lost in La Liga matches for 17 matches in a row
For Carlo Ancelotti and his team, there is no difference where to play and with whom. Today, the "creamy" are the main favorites not only in La Liga, but also in the Champions League. In addition, Ancelotti's statements that his problems with the squad are almost solved give grounds for positivity to numerous fans of the capital club
- Kylian Mbappe has scored in the fifth round in three of his last four seasons at PSG
Scoring twice, he scored the first goal of the game in each of his three goalscoring appearances
Probable line-up : Courtois - Modric, Rudiger, Militao, Carvajal - Tchouameni, Valverde, Bellingham, Rodrygo - Mbappe, Vinicius.
Trends

In three of the last six matches of the visitors such a bet took place
1.98Tip and bets
Today we expect the success of the guests - Real Sociedad is gaining momentum, which they proved in the last game, but they have no chance of winning today, especially considering the loss of their leading players. In addition, the guests have a complete statistical advantage, and motivation to take full control of the game and get the first three points in the tournament away from home.
Our prediction is Asian handicap (-1) on Real Madrid and we bet on it for 2.33
Bet on total
Real Sociedad have lost several key players and have had a really weak start to the tournament. The current champions are in great shape and need an away win to give them an extra boost of energy for the upcoming matches. We believe that the Los Blancos are stronger in all areas and can easily compensate for their shortcomings in defense with a great attacking performance. We expect the favorite to win, and with a comfortable score.
Prediction: Real Madrid win by two goals and we bet on it with odds of 4.95
Betting on yellow cards
The game is not of great importance and the players will not be on edge, but we expect a tough fight and plenty of fouls. Most likely, the referee will show a yellow card more than once to restore order and cool the players' ardor.
Betting Tip - total yellow cards over 4.5. This option can be found for 1.71
