Real Sociedad vs Real Madrid Prediction & Betting Tips (14 September)

Real Sociedad clearly needs to officially launch its La Liga season since it has only one victory in four games, when it traveled to Espanyol Barcelona 0-1. There have already been two defeats for the Basques, at home each time when they received Rayo Vallecano in the opening 1-2 and against Deportivo Alaves 1-2. Before leaving for the international break, the residents of the Reale Arena had to settle for the point of the draw on the pitch of Getafe 0-0, thus placing them in a sad 12th place, far from their objectives.

2nd in LaLiga at the start of this day, Real Madrid sent negative signals by already having two points sharing to its credit, concocted during its two trips of the season, on the pitch of Mallorca as part of the 1st day 1-1 and with the same score on the lawn of Las Palmas 1-1. Expected by a whole people, the new merengue, Kylian Mbappé allowed his team to beat Real Bétis on the previous day by scoring a 2-0 goal, taking advantage of a caviar from Valverde on the first goal and a gesture of honor from Vinicius who left him with the 2-0 penalty. 

Real Sociedad lost weight this summer with notably the starting central defender and the starting midfielder, Robin Le Normand (Atlético) and Merino (Arsenal), both European champions with La Roja this summer. Note the departures of Diego Rico and Alex Sola to Getafe. Among the arrivals, Sergio Gomez (Man City), Luka Sucic (Salzburg), Nayeg Aguerd (West Ham, loan) and lastly, the Icelandic Orri Oskarsson (Copenhagen, transfer of 20 million) have put their luggage in the Basque Country. Suspended during the previous day, the captain and major player on the front of the attack, Mikel Oyarzabal will a priori be back in the group while Elustondo, Odriozola, Zakharyan, Hamari Traoré (ex-Rennes) suffering from a ruptured cruciate ligaments or even Brais Mendez (holder midfielder) are all on the side (injured). Note the strong uncertainty around Jon Pacheco and Ander Barrenetxea (player with high potential, but often physically hampered). Returning from the Blues rally before it started, Aurélien Tchouaméni and Ferland Mendy, announced injured, would finally be able to play this clash this evening. On the other hand, David Alaba (recovery) and Ceballos (injured) will be absent in the same way as the major players in the squad, Bellingham and Camavinga. Finally launched? This is what Madrid supporters are hoping for for the captain of the France team and their new number 9, Kylian Mbappé, author of 3 goals in 5 TCC matches with the reigning European champion.

We will recall that this summer, the important Joselu (double in the semi-final second leg of the Champions against Bayern) and Nacho left the capital and Kroos retired as a legend. Less important but still worth noting, Latasa was definitely transferred to Valladolid after loans each year and Nico Paz (in the rotation last season) signed for Calcio Como (SA). During the international break, a Brazilian returned to Valdebas injured, the defender, Militao and he will be absent for this clash. Among others, with Alaba and Joan Martinez (cruciate ligaments), only Rüdiger and Vallejo remain in the central hinge of Real Madrid...
