Real Sociedad, Recent FormReal Sociedad will be very happy having secured 3 points in their last match with a significant 2-0 away win against Osasuna. They achieved 49% possession in that match and had 12 strikes at goal, with 7 hitting the target, up against Osasuna's tally of 13 efforts at goal, 1 of which were on target.
While they have been reasonably effective at circumventing their opponents defence, scoring 6 in their last 6 games, it's largely been tit for tat with their own defence proving to be equally ineffectual, conceding 5, and leading to valuable points being dropped. With 13 clean sheets so far this season, they have one of the best shut out records in the league.
They've been performing well at Reale Arena of late, with an unbeaten record of 5 games from 6, 3 of which were wins.
Real Madrid, Recent FormHaving secured a 4-2 home win against Almería in their latest league match, Real Madrid will have a positive feeling ahead of this match. In that game they had 68% possession and managed 15 attempts on goal, with 8 on target, compared to Almería who had 9 attempts and 3 on target.
Carlo Ancelotti will be very satisfied with his team's ability to find the net, with 18 goals in their last 6 matches; however, he will be less pleased with his back line, who have lost 9 goals during those same matches. They are proving to be well organised on their travels, having kept 3 clean sheets in their last 6 games. Few teams have managed to keep Los Blancos away from their goal, having scored in all but 3 of their games this season.
They have had a good run of form recently, winning 4 out of their last 6 games.
On an individual basis, Karim Benzema will be looking to get on the scoresheet again having scored 6 goals in Real Madrid's last 6 league games.
It was a 0-0 draw last time these two met, so not one to look back on fondly, with both sides taking away just a single point for their troubles.
During the last 2 times these two teams have met in the league at Reale Arena, Sociedad have been unable to break through the visitor's defence and find the back of the net. Playing at home, Sociedad have conceded at least one goal in 2 of their last 3 league games against Real Madrid. In their past 5 meetings, Real Madrid's defence has been pretty stingy, only conceding 2 goals, so Los Txuri-Urdin will have to take their chances when they come.
Sociedad has had a poor run of results against Real Madrid having not won any of their last 7 meetings.
Real Madrid player Karim Benzema will be feeling confident about recording goals against Sociedad ahead of this encounter, with a scoring record of 3 goals from their last 5 meetings.
Sociedad manager Imanol Alguacil has some team selection issues to consider ahead of this match. Ander Barrenetxea (Hamstring), Martín Merquelanz (Knee), Diego Rico (Sprained ankle) and Umar Sadiq (Cruciate ligament) are all currently out of contention for this game.
Carlo Ancelotti has a number of injury concerns in his Real Madrid squad to contend with: David Alaba (Muscle), Ferland Mendy (Muscle) and Luka Modrić (Muscle)
