Real Madrid vs Real Sociedad

We go over everything you need to know for Real Madrid vs. Real Sociedad on Matchday 19.

I wouldn’t be shocked if this one ended up in a draw, given Real Madrid’s rocky recent form and Real Sociedad’s unbeaten streak in league play. Now, they’ll face a tough test against Real Sociedad. Both teams come in with a slew of injuries that could play a role in the result, but Sociedad will look to keep their six-match unbeaten streak alive as they haven’t lost in La Liga play since October 30. Mikel Merino (muscle injury), Mohamed-Ali Cho (discomfort), Ander Guevara (thigh), and Andoni Gorosabel (ankle) are all out. They’ve played a few non-league matches that included a 3-1 loss to Barcelona in the Super Cup, and a 3-2 win over Villarreal in Copa del Rey play. However, Sociedad are having a banner season as they sit in third place, just three points behind Madrid.

The Spanish league said it “strongly condemns acts of hatred and intimidation” made against Vinícius. Atletico had already condemned its fans when a large group of them chanted “Vinícius, you are a monkey” before Madrid’s 2-1 win in the city derby last year at the Metropolitano Stadium.

Trailing LaLiga Santander leaders Barcelona by six points, Real Madrid take on Real Sociedad at the Estadio Santiago Bernabéu.

Going back to the Real Madrid line-up, you won't be surprised to hear that Karim Benzema is starting (and captains the team). That’s a bit of a spanner in the works for them as they look for a sixth straight league win. He had a great game in Villarreal (including the winning goal), a strong performance in San Mamés and a sensational derby..." The lacklustre performances of Kroos and the fatigue of Modric opened up a spot in midfield. The malaise continued after Qatar as they were beaten in Villarreal and convincingly lost in the Spanish Super Cup final to Barcelona. 5 As things stand, they have won their last five league fixtures, a sequence that has propelled them into third place in the league, where they currently sit four points ahead of Atlético Madrid (with a game in hand) and seven above Villarreal. 1 He didn't play a first-team game in three years in the Spanish capital. His time in the Spanish capital really hasn't been a success having appeared in only 31 league matches - often from the bench - in four seasons with Los Blancos. His saves have won Real Madrid plenty of points in the last few seasons and, most notably, a Champions League final last June. A Kroos corner was cleared out to the midfielder and his eyes lit up.

Camavinga makes a surge forward and links up with Vinicius down the left. Rudiger and Le Normand tussle again in the box ahead of Madrid's corner, and the German international goes down, claiming a penalty. He's in space on the right side of the box and shoots, but can only drag his effort wide of goal! Sociedad won their last away league game against a Madrid-based team, beating Rayo Vallecano 2-0. A delightful threaded throughball from Asensio takes four defenders out of the equation before it finds Modric. A chance for Madrid now as Benzema tees up Vinicius but Zubeldia makes the block. Illarramendi latches onto a loose ball just outside the area and aims for the bottom left corner. Vinicius bares down on goal and looks to lift the ball over the keeper but Remiro sticks out a hand to tip it wide. They had failed to win their previous seven in the Spanish capital, and last won two away games in a row against sides from Madrid in April 2013 against Atletico and Vallecano. Camavinga chases a loose ball hard but is caught very late by Elustondo, and Sociedad's makeshift right-back is shown a yellow card by the referee. Modric now drags a shot wide from the edge of the area. Free-kick in a promising position for Madrid but Asensio can't beat the wall.
