Real Madrid VS Real Sociedad

Royal Madrid started the new season on a high note, securing a victory away against Espanyol. With José Mourinho back, they're gearing up for their first home game at the Bernabéu, which is sure to boost their morale. The front - line stars like Kylian Mbappé, Jude Bellingham, and Vinícius Júnior are all fit to play. Their attack is full of talent, excelling in both set - piece plays and counter - attacks. However, the team is facing a crisis in defense due to injuries. Key defenders such as Éder Militão and Ferland Mendy are out. The back - line is now made up of new signings and rotation players, which may lead to problems in defensive coordination. There are also losses in the midfield, and the squad is still in the process of getting used to each other. On the other hand, Real Sociedad has had a sluggish start to the season. They lost to Real Betis in the last game, showing a lack of efficiency in front of the goal. Nevertheless, players like Takefusa Kubo and Mikel Oyarzabal pose a threat on the counter - attack. They are good at sitting back in defense and quickly transitioning to attack. In terms of head - to - head records, Real Madrid has a significant edge. They've beaten Real Sociedad multiple times at home, giving them a strong psychological advantage.
