Real Madrid vs Real Sociedad: the Meringues cannot afford to lose at the Santiago Bernabeu

Real Madrid will take on Real Sociedad in round 27 of La Liga. Let’s see how the opponents are doing & what the best bet is. There are several options to consider!

After losing to PSG (0-1) in the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 to PSG (0-1), Real Madrid secured two wins in a row. First, the Meringues defeated Alaves without any problems, scoring three unanswered goals, and then earned a narrow victory over Rayo Vallecano (1-0). Thanks to this, Real Madrid pulled away from second-placed Sevilla by two more points (from four to six). There is no way the Madrid side can lose points in the upcoming game, because their main rival is facing an outsider this weekend.

Real Sociedad will not have enough time to fully recover for the match against Real Madrid. On March 2, the team faced Mallorca in the postponed round 21, where they gained a confident 2-0 victory. Before that, they defeated Osasuna (1-0) at home. Thus, the team climbed into the Conference League zone, having outscored Villarreal by two points.

Real Madrid certainly inspires more confidence than the opponent. The Meringues are approaching the match in excellent condition, plus they will play at the Santiago Bernabeu, where they clearly will not be left without the fans' support. Real Sociedad may have serious problems because playing a second game in the last three days is very difficult. We think that the Meringues will win without much trouble, but it will not be a blowout.

Prediction: W1+TU (5.5).

• W1+TU (5.5) for 1.70;
• H1 (-1) for 2.07;
• Correct Score 2-0 for 7.50.
