Real Madrid Preview
Without many ideas and without much soccer, Real Madrid has managed to get out of the bad situation it was in a few matches ago by attaining three victories in a row. Those wins have boosted its confidence for the most important competitions of the season, La Liga and the Champions League.
The Merengues will play another match at the Santiago Bernabéu, where they defeated Atlético Madrid 3-1 in the Copa del Rey, in the middle of the week, to advance to the semifinals. One of the most striking events of the match was that Ferland Mendy got injured, which led Carlo Ancelotti to improvise and place Eduardo Camavinga as a full-back. This was not a bad move, despite the fact that the young Frenchman was not accustomed to that position.
Real Madrid will have to face the third best team so far in the domestic tournament, against whom it has posted good numbers. The team has gone undefeated in the last 5 meetings between the two, taking into account all tournaments.
Probable lineup (4-3-3): Thibaut Courtois; Nacho, Antonio Rüdiger, Éder Militão, Eduardo Camavinga; Toni Kroos, Dani Ceballos, Luka Modric; Federico Valverde, Karim Benzema, Vinícius Júnior.
Real Sociedad Preview
Real Sociedad put in a decent performance in the quarterfinals of the Copa del Rey. Tournament in which it got eliminated by Barcelona at Camp Nou. Indeed, the team was playing with a man less for more than 50 minutes, which was not an impediment to put pressure on the Culers.
After this tough elimination, Real Sociedad must concentrate on the domestic tournament where it has 38 points, only 3 behind Madrid. In fact, a win on this away game would make things much tighter in the overall standings. The current moment this squad is going through in the league could not be better, stringing together 5 wins and scoring at least 2 goals in each of these matches.
Moreover, before losing in Barcelona, the team had won four away games in a row, which are encouraging numbers for this away match.
Probable lineup (4-3-1-2): Álex Remiro; Aritz Elustondo, Igor Zubeldia, Robin Le Normand, Diego Rico; Brais Méndez, Martín Zubimendi, Pablo Marín; Takefusa Kubo; Mikel Oyarzabal, Alexander Sørloth.
JefeBet Prediction
The matches at the Santiago Bernabéu between these two teams have had high final scorelines. In fact, the most recent match went to Real Madrid 4-1. Moreover, 11 of the last 13 meetings have had more than two goals in 90 minutes of play, a trend that is likely to continue in this new match.
The home team continues to show great defensive problems, as players like Rüdiger are not having their best moment and collectively the team is often poorly positioned when facing opponents with good ball handling like Real Sociedad.
Considering the good momentum the visiting team is going through in La Liga, and all that Madrid can achieve at home, a match with several goals is expected.
Prediction: Over (RMA 2-1 RSO).
