Real Madrid has a 100% result, 12 points in 4 matches with a goal difference of 8:2. Wins over Atletico, Almeria, and Celta on the road, and over Getafe on their field. Madrid beat the Basques and the Galicians. The nearest pursuers, Girona and Barcelona, have two points less. Note that Real Madrid needs to win and keep the handicap from their rivals because the Champions League will start next week, so it will be more difficult to gain points.
Real Sociedad
In the fourth round, the Basques finally won in the Spanish league, beating Granada 5:3 on their home field. Before that, Real Sociedad drew in three games, making peace with Girona, Celta, and Las Palmas. Six points gained in 4 rounds allow the Basques to occupy the 9th place in the Spanish championship standings. The goal difference of RS is 7:5.
Expert Betting Tips
Again, Real Madrid and Real Sociedad will have their first meeting in the Champions League group stage in the middle of the week, which means that the schedule is compacted, and it will be more difficult to score points consistently in the future. Real Madrid will need to beat the Basques on their field to maintain sole leadership. The Basques have not lost yet in the 2023/24 season, but draws with Las Palmas, and Celta suggest that the Basques are still far from peak form. Madrid, on the other hand, have achieved 100% wins this season. We believe that the winning streak of the capital team will continue, but we doubt that the game against the Basques will be an easy walk for Madrid.
