Real Sociedad   -   Real Madrid

Many fans will be watching the match between Real Madrid and Real Sociedad San Sebastian, which is taking place on Friday the 26th April. The game will take place in the Reale Arena in San Sebastian.

Interestingly enough, these two rival teams only met not long ago, on 17.09.2023, and fans can expect another action-packed event this time around.

In the last three matches of the two teams facing each other, Real Sociedad San Sebastian scored a total of 3 goals while Real Madrid only scored 2.

It's going to be a cold day, with temperatures reaching only 5°C, so players could have a tough time on the field. Precipitation could also be a challenge, since chances for rain are quite high.

Real Madrid, currently being at one of the league's top positions, will have to defend their lead against Real Sociedad San Sebastian; and since Sociedad's performance in the league isn't as great (currently they're on the 6th position), this could be an fairly easy match for them.

• Midfield: Javi Galan, Arsen Zakharyan, Benat Turrientes, Mikel Merino
