Real Madrid, Recent FormReal Madrid have set themselves up nicely for this match by securing a 2-1 home win against Getafe in their previous league match. Their share of possession in that meeting was 76%, while racking up 26 shots along the way, 12 of which were on target, in contrast to Getafe, who had 6 shots on goal with 2 on target.
Manager Carlo Ancelotti will be reasonably pleased with his team's performances in front of goal, having scored 11 goals in their last 6 games, but will want to tighten up his defence with 4 goals conceded in the same period. They have only kept 2 clean sheets in their last 6 home games.
They've had a good run of form recently, with 4 straight wins in a row, and are unbeaten home or away in their last 7 league games.
Having scored 3 goals in his last 6 league games for Real Madrid, Rodrygo Silva da Goes will be looking to keep his tally up with a goal in their next outing.
Real Sociedad, Recent FormLast time out, Real Sociedad left content aftera 5-3 home win against Granada They achieved 62% possession in that match and had 15 strikes at goal, with 6 hitting the target, up against Granada's tally of 8 efforts at goal, 5 of which were on target.
It's reasonable to say they have enjoyed some decent goal scoring form of late, with 10 goals notched up in their last 6 matches, but while their offensive line is working, their defensive setup has shown cause for concern with 8 goals shipped and valuable points dropped. They have scored in 5 of their last 6 games but failed to keep a clean sheet in 5 of those games.
Sociedad will take some comfort from having only lost 1 of their last 6 games, but having managed just 2 wins shows there's room for improvement.
Takefusa Kubo will be aiming to add his name to the scoresheet again to extend his goal tally of 3 goals in the last 6 league outings for Real Sociedad.
In the last league encounter between these sides, it was Real Madrid who ended up empty-handed, losing 2-0 to Real Sociedad.
On each of the last 2 outings between Real Madrid and Txuri-Urdin in the league, Real Madrid have not performed well in front of goal and have come up empty-handed in terms of goals. Playing at home, Real Madrid have conceded at least one goal in 2 of their last 3 league games against Sociedad.
In this away league fixture, Sociedad has not won in the last 4 times they have played Real Madrid at The Estadio Santiago Bernabéu.
