Real Madrid return to La Liga action after the international break with a tough away trip to Real Sociedad on Saturday evening. Xabi Alonso’s men have made a flawless start to the season, winning all three of their opening matches. Los Blancos will be aiming to extend that perfect run to four victories in Donostia-San Sebastian.
Los Blancos have claimed wins over Osasuna, Real Oviedo and Mallorca. They have scored six goals and conceded just one in the process. That run has left them sitting at the top of the La Liga table, with a chance to build an early advantage over defending champions Barcelona, who are not in action until Sunday night.

For Sociedad, the new season has been far from ideal. They’ve managed just two points from their first three matches, drawing against Valencia and Espanyol before suffering a disappointing 1-0 defeat away to Real Oviedo before the break. On the other hand, Madrid have looked sharp at both ends of the pitch.
They have scored six goals and conceded just one in three games, highlighting their solid start under Xabi Alonso’s leadership. With new additions settling in well and the squad in strong form, the visitors will be confident of piling more pressure on their struggling hosts.

History is also on Madrid’s side. In the corresponding fixture last season, Real Madrid secured a 2-0 win at Anoeta. Overall, Madrid lead the head-to-head record with 102 wins compared to Sociedad’s 38, along with 43 draws across all competitions.

Over 2.5 goals seems like a strong play for Real Sociedad vs Real Madrid at -140, given both sides’ recent form. Madrid have scored six goals and hit this line in back-to-back games (3-0 vs Oviedo, 2-1 vs Mallorca). With Madrid’s attack averaging two goals per game and Sociedad usually managing to get on the scoresheet at home, this matchup has all the signs of producing three or more goals.
Mbappe is in rhythm with 3 goals in 3 league games and he is the focal point of Xabi Alonso’s attack. He is also the designated penalty taker for Madrid, which boosts his scoring chances. Real Sociedad are yet to keep a clean sheet this season and have looked vulnerable defending their penalty area. With Madrid creating flurry of chances, Kylian Mbappe to score anytime provides good value.

Real Madrid will be targeting three points here to open up a potential five-point cushion at the summit. Sociedad, on the other hand, will be desperate to turn their season around. However, they face a daunting task against one of Europe’s most in-form sides.
Real Madrid head into this clash as strong favourites, thanks to their squad depth and solid start to the season. Given Madrid’s quality and recent dominance, I am backing them to secure a 3-1 victory.
Final Prediction: Real Sociedad 1-3 Real Madrid
