Real Madrid – Real Sociedad, Picks and Tips
Ancelotti's side are doing excellently in the Primera Division this season and have not tasted defeat in the Spanish league since a 0-1 draw at Getafe earlier this year. There have been a few more missteps, such as draws against Elche (2-2) and Villarreal (0-0), as well as elimination from the Copa del Rey (0-1 vs Bilbao) and defeat against PSG (0-1) in the UEFA Champions League round of 16. "However, the Galacticos lead the LaLiga standings and have six points over second-placed Sevilla. In the last two weeks, Madrid have beaten Alaves (3-0) and Rayo Vallecano (1-0).
On the other side, the Basques had at some point lost touch with the top 4 in LaLiga. That's despite having had a flying start to the season, where they were at one point even leading the standings. Imanol Alguacil's side rallied, however, after the defeat in the Basque Country derby vs Athletic (0-4) and elimination from the Europa League (3-5 overall vs Leipzig). In the last week, Sociedad beat Osasuna (1-0) and Mallorca (2-0) in the Spanish championship. After playing 26 rounds in the Primera Division, "Los Txuri-Urdin" are in 6th place. With 44 points accumulated so far, the distance to Barcelona, in fourth position, is only one "length". However, the Catalans have one game in hand.
