Real Madrid take on the visitors Real Sociedad in the round 19 match of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Sunday, January 29th at Estadio Santiago Bernabéu (Madrid).
Real Madrid still have very good record. The only problem is that in the realities of Spanish football this is not enough for success. Moreover, against the background of the last draw, a decline is noticeable. Then, in 2021/2022, Carlo Ancelotti returned to Spain, taking several trophies, including the main ones – LaLiga confidently and Champions League nervously. They looked strong at the beginning of the new season, when they won the UEFA Super Cup and confidently led both the domestic and international arena. But already in the autumn they began to stumble. And the winter frankly did not work out for the Spanish grandee. Yes, it turned out to put the squeeze on “Valladolid”, but then there was a defeat to “Villarreal” and a failure in the Super Cup, where they knocked out “Valencia” only in a penalty shootout, but lost in the decisive match 1-3 to “Barcelona”. However, it has already managed to win over Athletic – the voyage to Bilbao ended 2-0. And this week there was a derby within the framework of the Copa del Rey. Atletico was not bad there, but the final score was3-1 in favor of Real.

Real Sociedad gradually gained momentum. In some ways, ambitions were confirmed by winning the Spanish Cup (formally in 2020, but due to the coronavirus, the final was held only a year later). But at the same time, it was not possible to achieve another important goal - to finally break into the Champions League. In general, Imanol Alguasil has a strong, combat-ready team. And a couple of times they got off to a strong start, even taking the lead in the standings. But invariably then there was a noticeable decline, with a final fall outside the quartet of the best. Now there are also circumstances in favor of the representatives of the Basque Country: Sevilla had definitely fallen out of the competition, Atletico are unstable. Of course, it will still be necessary to see how Real Sociedad will perform in the 2nd part of the season. But in the winter, so far, they have been well in La Liga. 2-0 at the "Rayo Vallecano" was the 5th victory in a row at this level, which allowed them to gain a foothold in the 3rd position. At the same time, the cup campaign ended with 0-1 defeat to Barcelona.
Madrid had no defeats in 5 head-to-heads in a row. However, in the season before last, both matches ended in a draw, but in the last season, Los Blancos took the maximum points. Even in the cup, the clubs showed themselves: “Madrid” got the result, Txuri-urdinak lost to the grandee. So here everything should more or less repeat itself - we bet on Galactikos’victory.
Prediction for the match: Real Madrid to win.
