Real Sociedad have been among the best teams in Spain in recent years, securing Europe in four consecutive years. The dream of playing in Europe again next year looks in the balance as they currently occupy 6th place but have to be wary of Real Betis and Valencia who are ready to pounce on any mistake. Their run in to the end of the season isn’t any easier too as they are yet to face Real Madrid, Barcelona, Betis, and Atletico Madrid.
Madrid are playing an excellent season! With a thrilling 3:2 win over Barcelona in the last round, they extended the gap to 11 points now, and it seems the 36th La Liga title in the club’s history is inevitable. There are speculations that the Los Blancos could rotate the squad for the Sociedad game and keep the key players fresh for the Bayern matchup.

Team News
Hosts Sociedad should welcome back Martin Zubimendi and Igor Zubledi after serving their suspensions against Getafe. Both players have started in 88% of Sociedad’s La Liga games. Brais Méndez, should remain sidelined for the fourth game in a row with a metatarsal fracture. The 27-year-old midfielder might miss the remainder of the season. Besides him, Aihen Munoz, Martin Merquelanz, and Carlos Fernandez will remain sidelined with their long-term injuries.
Visitors Madrid are now almost fully healthy. Only David Alaba and Thibaut Courtois are ruled out for this match. Carlo Ancelotti will most likely opt to rest several key problems because they will meet Bayern in the Champions League. Among others, we should see Arda Guler in the starting lineup, securing his first start in La Liga
Probable Line-Up
Real Sociedad XI: Remiro (GK), Traore, Le Normand, Zubeldia, Galan, Zakharyan, Zubimendi, Merino, Becker, Oyarzabal, Barrenetxea
Real Madrid XI: Arrizabalaga (GK), Vázquez, Militão, Fernández, García, Güler, Ceballos, Camavinga, Kroos, Díaz, Joselu
Verdict
Sociedad is in good form, having won 11 points in the last five matches and scoring nine goals in the process. They have at least scored a goal in their last ten games and with Madrid set to rotate their squad, they should fancy their chances.
