Real Sociedad vs Real Madrid: Predictions, odds & betting tips

  /  autty

La Liga leaders Real Madrid travel to the Reale Arena on Saturday night to face Real Sociedad with Carlo Ancelotti's men aiming to continue their strong run of form.

Since losing 2-1 to Espanyol at the start of October, Los Blancos have recorded nine wins and a draw from their subsequent 10 matches in all competitions, but La Real are likely to provide a stern test.

Imanol Alguacil's men are unbeaten at home in La Liga since April 18, during which time they have claimed seven wins and three draws.

Sociedad are offered at 23/10 (3.30) with bet365 while the draw can be backed at the same price.

Madrid, meanwhile, have the best away record in the division having picked up six wins on the road and they are available at 5/4 (2.20).

The 33-year-old Karim Benzema is in the form of his life and the Frenchman is La Liga's top scorer with 12 strikes this term.

Madrid's No.9 can be backed at 15/4 (4.75) to break the deadlock in San Sebastian, ahead of Vinicius Junior at 15/2 (8.50).

La Real, however, boast plenty of attacking talent themselves with Swedish striker Alexander Isak available at 6/1 (7.00) and Spain international Mikel Oyarzabal at the same price.

La Real were the early pace setters in La Liga and the Basques led the way for a number of matchdays before relinquishing top spot two weeks ago.

The side from the province of Guipúzcoa have had serious injury problems yet have battled on regardless and Saturday night's game will no doubt be another battle.

La Real's home games this season have all been tight, low-scoring affairs and Madrid will have to grind out a win if they are hoping to maintain their seven-point advantage at the top of the table.

Real Sociedad have the best home defensive record in La Liga, conceding just once in seven games and backing them to keep things tight once more should appeal.

Under 2.5 goals is priced at 10/11 (1.91) and has easily paid out in all seven of La Real's home league games in the current campaign.
