Real Madrid needed a stoppage-time goal to beat Espanyol 2-1 in their La Liga opener last weekend.
Los Blancos have now won four consecutive matches and are unbeaten in their last nine games across all competitions.
Jose Mourinho's side troops will embark on their first home game of the season against a familiar foe in Real Sociedad. Los Blancos have dominated recent encounters between these sides, having won the last three H2Hs, with no defeats in their last eight clashes.
The hosts also have a long list of absences for this fixture, as Eder Militao (ligament), Ferland Mendy (thigh), Raul Asensio (muscle), Rodrigo Goes (ligament), Aurelien Tchouameni (muscle), Thiago Pitarch (knee), and Endrick (muscle overload) are all sidelined.
On the other hand, Real Sociedad's opening game did not go as well as they had hoped, as they fell to Real Betis by a single goal.
The Basque giants have now lost four games in a row across all competitions, conceding two goals on average during that stretch.
Stretching back to their previous campaign, Real Sociedad have no wins in nine consecutive league games and have not won an away match in this competition since February.
Head Coach Pellegrino Matarazzo will be without long-term absentee Alvaro Odriozola, who remains out with a knee ligament injury, while Pablo Marin (hamstring issue) and Goncalo Guedes (physical discomfort) are both questionable for this fixture.
