Real Sociedad hosts Real Madrid in round 16 of Spanish LaLiga. The match will be played on Saturday, December 4th at Reale Arena (San Sebastian)
Real Sociedad has slowed down a bit in the last rounds. There was a draw against Valencia (0-0), which was followed by a defeat to Espanyol (1-0). As a result, the White and Blues moved from the 1st line in the standings to the 3rd. They have 29 points in their assets, and the gap to the leader is already seven points. Sociedad has one of the three most reliable defensive lines in La Liga (11 goals conceded. Only Sevilla and Athletic Bilbao conceded the same number of goals. But if we look at production, we may say that it won’t be superfluous for Alguacil’s charges to somewhat step up (only 19 goals scored). Let's talk a bit about the home results of Real Sociedad. The club has not suffered a single defeat in seven matches: four victories and three draws with a goal difference of 5-1. All seven games with Under 2.5 goals scored.

On December 1, Real Madrid played a home match against other representatives of the Basque Country, Athletic Bilbao. Galacticos won 1-0, and it was their fifth victory in a row. The total unbeaten streak in the Spanish Championship amounts to seven matches (six victories and one draw). The men of Carlo Ancelotti are in the 1st place in the standings with 36 points scored in 15 matches. The gap from the 2nd place is seven points. Real Madrid is the most productive team in LaLiga. The Whites have already scored 35 goals. In addition, they have conceded only 15 times. Among all representatives of LaLiga, Galacticos have the most points scored on foreign pitches: 19 in eight matches (six wins, one draw, and one loss).
Both in the first and the second of the previous championship, the teams failed to determine the strongest (0-0 and 1-1). In 14 last head-to-head matches at Anoeta Stadium, the following results were recorded: nine victories of Real Madrid, three draws, and two wins of the hosts. Real Sociedad is historically strong on its native pitch. But the Basques look very mediocre in confrontations against the metropolitan team: only two victories in more than ten years. Now Alguacil’s charges are in a recession. But at the same time, they were preparing for a match against the Whites for a week. And Real Madrid played a rescheduled game against Athletic Bilbao. Definitely, Benzema & Co. will not be in optimal condition now. It seems to me that there will be no goal extravaganza in the upcoming match, and I would venture to bet on Under 2.5 goals scored.
Prediction for the match: Under 2.5 goals scored
