La Liga continues on September 13, 2025, with Real Sociedad hosting Real Madrid at the Reale Arena. The Basque club are still searching for their first win of the season, while the reigning champions have opened the campaign with a perfect record under Xabi Alonso.
Prediction Overview
The best value bet here is Over 2.5 Goals. Real Madridâs strong attacking form and Sociedadâs need to respond in front of their supporters point toward an open, chance-filled contest. Both statistical data and head-to-head history reinforce the expectation of goals.
Sociedad Still Searching for Spark
Real Sociedad remain unsettled following the departure of their long-serving manager. The new regime has not yet found the winning formula: a 2-2 draw at home to Espanyol was followed by a disappointing 0-1 defeat to newcomers Oviedo. Stretching back to last season, Sociedad have only one win in their last 11 La Liga games - a run that highlights their difficulties in closing out matches. On home turf, however, they will still look to play proactively, and their attacking structure could ensure chances, even against Madrid.
Madridâs Perfect Start Under Alonso
Xabi Alonso has enjoyed an excellent start as Real Madrid manager, guiding his side to three wins from three in the league. The team has looked organized at the back, conceding only once, while their attacking stars have ensured efficiency in front of goal. A 3-0 away win at Oviedo showed Madridâs ability to dominate on the road. With players like MbappĂ© and VinĂcius in good rhythm, Los Blancos are expected to create plenty of opportunities again, even against a tricky opponent away from home.
Head-to-Head and Match Dynamics
Encounters between Real Sociedad and Real Madrid are frequently entertaining, with goals at both ends a regular feature. In fact, recent clashes have often gone over the 2.5-goal line, reflecting the openness that emerges when Sociedad commit to attacking football. Given Madridâs excellent form and Sociedadâs pressure to perform in front of their fans, the dynamics once again point toward a game with multiple goals. The Over 2.5 Goals market is therefore the most logical and value-backed choice.
