December 4th features a match where Real Sociedad hosts Real Madrid in a meeting of these two evenly matched La Liga teams. Weather on match day is looking like a cloudy and cool day, with daytime temperatures of only 10 degrees, a perfect day for football. In their last match, Real Sociedad recorded a 0-1 loss against Espanyol. Yangel Herrera scored the first goal for Espanyol in the 77th minute, and with that single goal the scoring was complete. Neither team could manage anything else At the end of 90 a dissapointed Real Sociedad couldn’t manage to score, and Espanyol took the shutout win. Real Sociedad should be reasonably happy with their recent performance, earning 19 points in their last 10 matches, while 1st placed Real Madrid is fresh off their 2-1 win against Sevilla. Rafa Mir struck first for Sevilla in the 12th minute on a feed from Marcos Acuña, but Karim Benzema got the equalizer for Real Madrid in the 32nd minute But luckily in the 87th minute, they were able to complete the comback with a goal by Vinícius Júnior. Real Madrid looks to continue their winning ways, having 7 wins in their last 10 matches.
On the 6th of February, Real Madrid hosted Real Sociedad in their last match together. Real Sociedad was victorious by a score of 4 to 3 in front of just over 64000 spectators. Martin Ødegaard scored the first goal for Real Sociedad in the 22nd minute, then Alexander Isak added another in the 54th minute on a feed from Barrenetxea.
Real Madrid is fortunate enough to have Karim Benzema in top form. In the last 5 matches the attacker has scored 5 goals. Alexander Sørloth and Adnan Januzaj are the top scorers for Real Sociedad in the last five matches, but unfortunately they only have one goal. It’s hard to imagine having success with those stats
Imanol Alguacil Barrenetxea’s squad will be without David Silva, Mikel Merino, Mikel Oyarzabal, Elustondo, Illarramendi, Zubeldía, Nacho Monreal, Jon Guridi and Imanol Agirretxe Arruti, while Carlo Ancelotti’s Real Madrid squad will be without Dani Ceballos, Eden Hazard, Federico Valverde, Rodrygo and Mariano Díaz.
