Today Real Madrid will play away against Real Sociedad and in fact, even though Real Madrid still has a good record for home and away results so far this season, but it is still not enough for Real Madrid to be projected to win this match. Because based on the odds currently available, Real Sociedad @2.45 and Real Madrid @3.00, I think it's clear that Real Madrid is not the favorite to win.
Also, their first match or first meeting this season also only ended in a draw with a score of 0-0 and also, in their last five meetings the results have been more dominant with draws. But after all, Real Madrid is a team with many chances to win, so I might be a little surprised because Real Madrid in this match is not the favorite to win. Meanwhile I think Real Sociedad are also not completely consistent so I think Real Madrid will still have a chance to win.
If we refer to the available odds, it seems something is off. and yes, after I checked, in this fight Don carlo will not play some of his core players. Vini Jr, Camaviga, suspended through card accumulation. Meanwhile, Luca Modric, David Alaba, are absent due to some health problems. to be honest, I don't really know much more about the development of these two players. meaning, in this match Madrid will not play their starting eleven starting team.
but to be honest however, on paper Madrid are more favored than the home team. because if I refer to the prediction of the Madrid line-up, Don Carlo will still use the same system with the 4-3-3 pattern. it's just that, some of the players are rotated. Rodry will play as LW, Benzema will remain a pure striker, Asensio will play as RW. for midfield, Kroos looks like he will be rested. instead, Caballos, Tchoameni, took his place. the rest doesn't change, so it's likely that Nacho Fernandez will have performance problems, this player is really underperforming. overall, Madrid remains superior to Real Sociedad. it's just that, we'll just see how this team works.
On the other hand, Real Sociedad did not experience serious problems with injured players. but I'm not sure that Real Sociedad can beat Madrid in this fight. my estimation, most likely the fight will end in a draw. or maybe, a narrow win for Madrid. but I think it's too risky, so I prefer to bet on under 2.5 goals.
