Real Sociedad will be hoping to eliminate the gap between themselves and their opponents Real Madrid when the two meet in the game of the weekend in La Liga on Sunday at the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu. The visitors come into this match in third place, with 38 points in 18 matches, three points behind Real Madrid, though they have played one more match. They’ve pulled seven points clear of Athletico Madrid and Villareal in fourth and fifth, respectively. Real Sociedad extended their unbeaten run to seven matches, which includes six wins and a draw, after defeating Rayo Vallecano in their last match. The visitors have been good on the road, too, recording seven wins and two losses in their nine matches on the road. They have won their last three away matches and will be hoping they can go four-for-four in this one.

Real Madrid overcame Athletic Bilbao in their last match to maintain just a three-point gap to league leaders Barcelona, with 41 points in 17 matches. Real Madrid’s recent record has been below expectation, winning three, drawing one, and losing two of their last six matches in La Liga.  However, Los Blancos have been impeccable at home this season, yet to lose a single match at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, with five wins and two draws. Their unbeaten streak extends back to April 2022 for a grand total of 11 matches without defeat. The hosts have been the superior team in this encounter in recent times, avoiding defeat in the last six meetings. This is a crucial match for Los Blancos to keep the pressure on Barcelona, while a loss would see Real Sociedad draw level with them in the league going into the second half of the season.
