Real Sociedad vs Real Madrid Predictions

• Only one of Real Sociedad’s last eight home games has contained three or more goals
• There have been fewer than three strikes in five of Real Madrid’s last seven away league matches
• Real Sociedad are unbeaten in six outings at Anoeta

Can Sociedad keep the run going?

Real Sociedad’s home form is keeping them in the hunt for a Champions League place at the moment, as they are six games unbeaten at Anoeta, picking up three wins and three draws.

Only one of their last eight games there has contained three or more goals, with a sturdy defence who have kept five clean sheets during that period ensuring scorelines are kept down.

Indeed, Imanol Alguacil’s side actually have the third best defence in the division, behind leaders Barcelona and third placed Atletico Madrid, with 17 of their last 19 outings containing fewer than three strikes.

Real Madrid inconsistent on the road

Real Madrid on the other hand lost their last away game 4-2 at Girona, meaning they have picked up just two victories in their last six La Liga fixtures on the road.

Goals have been few and far between, too, with Carlo Ancelotti’s failing to net in a couple of those outings, while five of the last seven have contained fewer than three goals.

They are still in pole position to finish second in the league, but it is a concern that of their six losses in the league, five have come away from home.

I predict that there will be fewer than three goals in this game, selecting 1-1 as a correct score prediction.
