Real Madrid vs Real Sociedad Betting Tips

Their last match before the break was their incredible 10-2 win against Rayo Vallecano. However despite scoring 10 goals and their forward players fully taking advantage of their 9 man opponents, the fact they conceded twice inside the opening 12 minutes still highlighted their current frailties.

It was a good day for Los Blancos though with Barca away at the FIFA World Club Cup and Atletico losing at Malaga. Real will return to the top for a few hours at least with a win here and it should come without too many problems against a Real Sociedad side that have only picked up 16 points from their opening 16 games and also exited the Copa del Rey.

Their last game before the break was a 2-0 home defeat against Villarreal and new boss Eusebio has so far at least proved not much of an improvement on David Moyes. Things are unlikely to get better here but they do have some quality in their side and in Imanol Agirretxe, they have the joint 3rd top scorer in the division with 12 goals so far and a man capable of exploiting any holes in the Real Madrid defence.

Los Blancos have conceded in all of their last 4 home games in La Liga but have still managed to win 3 of them and you can back them to win and concede again here at tempting odds of 13/10.

Real Sociedad are better defensively than the likes of Rayo Vallecano and Malmo who have been hammered at the Bernabeu over the past month, so consider going for a 3-1 home win at 17/2.
