Real Sociedad vs Real Madrid Prediction: Preview and Analysis of the Match - Copa del Rey.

Very busy week for Real Sociedad and Real Madrid who cannot catch their breath due to the break in European competitions but who will face each other on Wednesday night in the Copa del Rey in the first leg of the semi-final in a round that is therefore not easy for either team. The two teams will then have two away games in La Liga (one each) this weekend that are anything but easy: Real Sociedad will face Barcelona while Real Madrid will visit Betis. However, it is more than likely that on Wednesday at the Reale Arena, both Imanol Alguacil and Carlo Ancelotti will field their best eleven because the prestige of the historic Spanish competition is too high and the lure of a possible final against Atletico Madrid and Barcelona can only increase its appeal. Both teams are coming into this match in good shape: both Erreala and Merengues have in fact earned three points in the league and have brilliantly passed the Playoffs, respectively for the Europa League and Champions League: all the elements for an exciting challenge are truly there.

Real Sociead's shape and key statistics

The bad defeat against Betis a week ago remains a negative exception in a positive context: for Real Sociedad there are in fact 5 victories in the last 6 games. Furthermore, the three previous rounds of Copa del Rey were always passed well with a total of 7 goals scored and 1 conceded in 3 games.

In La Liga, the Iguacil team is eighth but only one point from sixth place. What shines is the defense and the data relating to the goals conceded in the league: 23 in 25 games, less than one per match; only two teams have done better. At home, Real Sociedad hasn't missed a beat lately: 5 wins in 5 matches and more generally 11 in the last 14.

Real Madrid's shape and key statistics

After qualifying against Manchester City, Real Madrid returns to winning ways in the league where they are now first together with Barcelona: at the Bernabeu in La Liga, the Blancos confirm their formidability and have thus achieved their tenth win in twelve matches.

Real Madrid's path in the Copa del Rey has been full of goals so far, considering the 10 goals scored in the 3 matches played. The Merengues also have an excellent recent away tradition in the national cup: 6 wins and 1 draw are the white booty in the last 7 away cup matches.

Real Sociedad – Real Madrid Prediction and Tactical Analysis

Real Sociedad’s home record speaks clearly and cannot be underestimated. The atmosphere in San Sebastian will be hot and will push the team to the max to achieve a positive result. Real Madrid certainly never starts out as an underdog against any team or almost any other, but it is a fact that at the Real Arena, important teams such as Barcelona, ​​Betis, Espanyol, have lost.
