Real Sociedad travel to the prestigious Estadio Santiago Bernabèu as they take on Real Madrid in Round 27 of the Spanish La Liga. The game will kick off by 01:30 IST, 6th of March, 2022.

Real Madrid have a fight on their hands for the La Liga trophy and sit six points at the summit after 26 games. Real Sociedad have fallen down the pecking order after their breathtaking start to the season and are in contention for a European spot with a game in hand.

Teams Status

Here is the latest on the form and team news for both sides:

Real Madrid Form and Team News

Carlo Ancelotti’s men have seen their lead at the top of the La Liga table cut down to 6 points, but remain favorites to wear the coveted crown at the end of the season. They have been in blistering form all season, with 18 wins, 6 draws, and 2 losses from 26 games.

In their last 5 league matches, Real Madrid have managed 3 wins and 2 draws and have a total goal haul of 52 goals, conceding 20. Karim Benzema leads the scoring charts for Real Madrid with 19 goals and 9 assists, with teammate Vinicius Junior following behind with 13 goals and 6 assists.

For their team news, Real Madrid may have to do without the services of David Alaba and Gareth Bale, who are both sidelined with injuries and unfit to play.

Real Sociedad Form and Team News

Real Sociedad face another stern test against the league leaders, and by their present form in the league, they have an uphill task on their hands. A run of 2 wins, 2 draws, and 1 loss in their last 5 league games defines their form of late— erratic and unconvincing.

They sit in 7th, with 11 wins, 8 draws, and 6 losses in 25 games. They are just one point off the final European spot, with a game in hand over their rivals. Goals have been hard to come by for Aguacil Imanol’s men, who have scored 25 and conceded 25 this season.

For their team news, Real Sociedad have some potential absentees going into this fixture. Ander Barrenetxea, Adnan Januzaj, Diego Rico, Rafinha, and Joseba Zaldua are injured and may not participate in the weekend trip to Madrid.

Tipster’s Angle

After a scrappy 1-nil win at Rayo Vallecano last time out, Real Madrid will hope to win this home game convincingly this time around. Real Sociedad play their game in hand against Mallorca before this trip and will hope to get something out of this fixture against an in-form Real Madrid side.

In the head-to-head record between these two sides, in their last 10 meetings, Real Madrid have won 5, Sociedad have won 3, and the remaining 2 games were draws. Here are our tips for this match:

Tip: Real Madrid To Win Either Half @ 1.33

Ancelotti’s men host Real Sociedad and hope to increase their lead at the top of the standings with a victory in this encounter. With 4 wins and 1 draw in their last 5 home games, Madrid are poised to win at least 1 half of this encounter. Real Madrid to win either half is available on the Parimatch sportsbook at 1.33 odds.

Tip: Over 1.5 Goals @ 1.25

In the last 5 meetings between Real Madrid and Real Sociedad, only one game ended with less than 2 goals scored. Both teams are hungry for a victory and will hope to take their chances in front of goal.

Madrid will hope to win this game convincingly with multiple goals, considering the form of Benzema and Vinicius Junior. Over 1.5 goals is available on the Melbet sportsbook at 1.25 odds.

Conclusion

Real Madrid host Real Sociedad as they hope to continue their march to the league title. A draw will be a disappointing result for Real Madrid, so we expect more attacking intent from Los Blancos. Sociedad are in the fight for a European place, so a well-contested affair is on the cards.
