Real Sociedad vs Real Madrid prediction: Visitors to triumph with Mbappe on target
Key stats
- Our Real Sociedad vs Real Madrid betting tips take into account that Los Blancos have gone 31 matches without losing in all competitions, since exiting the Copa del Rey in January.
- It’s three straight home defeats for Real Sociedad in La Liga.
- La Real have won just 38% of their home league fixtures since the start of last term.
Correct score prediction: Real Sociedad 0-2 Real Madrid
Los Blancos haven’t quite got the balance right since adding Endrick and Kylian Mbappe in the summer. However, there were positive signs last time out as the Frenchman scored twice to defeat Betis.
With Real Sociedad poor at home so far this term and missing some key players, Carlo Ancelotti’s side have a good opportunity to claim all the points.

- DRAW: 5/2 (3.50) – 28.6%

Player to watch – Kylian Mbappe
After some criticism of his early performances, Mbappe will be happy to have broken his duck in La Liga with a quick-fire brace last time out. He has managed to score three in five appearances overall for Los Blancos so far.
Having more shots than anyone
The Frenchman averages 6.5 shots per game so far in La Liga 2024/25. That’s easily the most in the division, with Robert Lewandowski a distant second on 4.3.
