The anticipation is building up as Real Sociedad prepares to host Real Madrid at the iconic Reale Arena this Saturday.
This matchup brings together two teams with contrasting starts to the season. While Real Sociedad has struggled in their opening fixtures, managing only one win out of four, Real Madrid will be keen to keep their momentum going after a 2-0 victory over Real Betis. Star players like Kylian Mbappé have been shining for the Los Blancos, and they’ll aim to close the gap with Barcelona, who are currently leading the league(90min.com)(Sporting News).
For Real Sociedad, consistency has yet to be elusive. Their recent goalless draw against Getafe further highlighted their need to sharpen their attack. However, they’ve got the home advantage and are determined to break Real Madrid’s winning streak.
