Real Sociedad vs Real Madrid Prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds

Los Blancos have not lost any of their last three matches against Real Sociedad.

Real Sociedad are all set to battle Real Madrid in the Copa del Rey 2024-25 semi-final first leg at home. The hosts stood tall in their previous fixture against Osasuna which helped them seal a spot in the semifinals of the Spanish Cup. Los Blancos secured a close win against Leganes in the quarterfinals and ended as the better side in the end.

Real Sociedad will be coming in with confidence at their home as they secured an easy win over Leganes in their last LaLiga fixture. They maintained a clean sheet and struck three goals which was enough for them to secure three points. They will have to be extra cautious and should come up with their best plays as they are set to face Los Blancos in the Copa del Rey next.

Real Madrid have been in a great form. Although they dropped points in the LaLiga recently, the team instantly fought back with a win which equalled their points with fierce rivals Barcelona. Carlo Ancelotti’s men also got to the round of 16 of the UEFA Champions League after defeating Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City by an aggregate scoreline of 6-3.

Players to Watch

Brais Mendez (Real Sociedad)

The Spanish midfielder will be an important part of Real Sociedad’s squad when it comes to their Spanish Cup clash against Real Madrid. He went on to score a goal for his side in the Copa del Rey quarter-final. Brais Mendez can score goals and help his teammates with some timed passes to get them through Los Blancos’ defence.

Kylian Mbappe (Real Madrid)

Kylian Mbappe is in good form. He has adopted a new position after joining Real Madrid. The Frenchman is the top scorer for Los Blancos in the LaLiga despite not playing in his usual wing position.

Mbappe will be a real threat to the opponent’s defence due to his goal-scoring abilities. The French forward also knows how to find spaces in the opposition’s defence which adds up as a big advantage.
