Real Madrid come into this match in poor form, having lost three of their last five games. They have been conceding goals regularly, which is a worry. In contrast, Real Sociedad have been much more solid recently, with three draws and a win in their last five away matches, showing they are hard to beat on the road.

History between these two sides is very mixed, with both teams winning and losing over recent years. Their meetings have often been tight, with several low-scoring draws and narrow wins. Given Real Madrid's current struggles and Real Sociedad's resilient recent form, this looks like a close match where a draw is the most likely outcome.
