- Real Madrid have won 15, drawn 1 and lost just 2 of their 18 home games in La Liga 2024/2025.

The Real Madrid vs Real Sociedad odds have Real Madrid as -251 favorites for Saturday’s La Liga 2024/2025 home clash with Real Sociedad, with the bookies putting Los Txuri-Urdin at +599 at the Bernabeu. The odds make perfect sense with Carlo Ancelotti’s side having won 15 of their 18 league games in Madrid, but the visitors will be hoping to spoil the party. Imanol Alguacil’s side have had a mid-table campaign, currently sitting 11th in the table with 46 points from 37 games. Los Txuri-Urdin have won one, drawn one and lost three of their last five matches, beating high-flying Girona 3-2 at home last time out but losing 4-0 to Atletico Madrid and 1-0 to Celta Vigo before that. Sociedad are a well-drilled side that prefer to sit deep and soak up pressure when they have to, particularly away from home. Takefusa Kubo offers them the chance to get forward and his trickery can unlock defenses, particularly on the counter-attack where they thrive.
Real Madrid have won back-to-back games coming into this, including a 2-1 win at home against Real Mallorca and a comfortable 2-0 win away to Sevilla FC. This Real Madrid vs Real Sociedad preview highlights that Carlo Ancelotti has managed Real Madrid since June 2021, adding flexibility and an ability to control the tempo that is rare for Los Blancos. Real Madrid have 81 points from 37 La Liga 2024/2025 games and currently sit second in the standings. Our Real Madrid vs Real Sociedad prediction: they have won three and lost two of their past five games and will no doubt want to finish the campaign on a high with Ancelotti’s imminent departure. Kylian Mbappé has been in red-hot form with 29 La Liga goals in 33 league games, seven of which have come in Madrid’s last 11. Rodrygo also brings pace and trickery to Madrid’s attack and Los Merengues have the ability to make Sociedad pay if they can dominate possession and dictate the tempo.
Los Merengues will play on the front foot and press high, but Sociedad are resilient and won’t be afraid of an open game. They are capable of scoring goals on their day, particularly in end-to-end games as their 4-4 Copa del Rey draw with Madrid after extra time showed. When considering Real Madrid vs Real Sociedad betting tips, note that Sociedad have lost their last three away trips to Madrid in all competitions, and Alguacil has been in charge since December 2018. Madrid have a strong home record, superior firepower and better form going into this game and should take all three points, but there is value in the ‘Over 3.25 goals’ market at -106. Los Texuri-Urdin have shipped 24 goals in 18 away games and Madrid have conceded 19 times in 18 home La Liga. Additionally, our Real Madrid vs Real Sociedad prediction leans toward a high-scoring match in favor of the hosts.
