How to Bet Real Sociedad vs Real Madrid?

1. Take the Over

Real Sociedad started the season with a 2-1 defeat against Rayo Vallecano. The biggest problem with that result is that the match was at Reale Arena. If a team wants to fight to be in the La Liga top five, losing at home against teams like Rayo Vallecano can’t happen. Period.

Two weeks later, Los Blanquiazules played host to Deportivo Alaves and … lost 2-1. As if that weren’t enough, Mikel Oyarzabal was sent off, which means he won’t be able to play against Real Madrid on Saturday.

Despite losing both matches, Real Sociedad put up a good fight, enough to contribute for the total to go over 2½ goals. Precisely, Saturday’s game total is set at 2½ goals with the over offering a -108 price at BetUS sportsbook. Take it.

Here’s another reason. Real Madrid is winless on the road, but Los Blancos managed to score in each of their previous two matches away from home. Plus, Mbappe woke up right before the international break by scoring a brace against Real Betis.

Finally, Jude Bellingham, who missed Real Madrid’s last two matches and couldn’t join England’s national squad due to injury, is expected to return. The English midfielder was last season’s top scorer with 19 goals and will return stronger after having four weeks to rehabilitate.

2. Trust Real Madrid

I know some people have been saying that Mbappe and Real Madrid are in trouble because Los Blancos haven’t won with authority. I’m not one of those, I think the Frenchman is adapting well and the team is just fine. I mean, including the UEFA Super Cup, Mbappe has scored three goals in five matches. Coach Carlo Ancelotti also thinks there are no concerns

“New players like Kylian and Endrick are adapting very well. We’re going to have a great season competing in all competitions. Winning is very complicated, but our duty is to compete in every game as always at this club. Never give up and compete until the end. That’s what you have to do when you put on that shirt,” said the Italian during an interview.

Now, besides the fact that Real Sociedad is a feisty soccer betting underdog, Real Madrid won’t have it easy in San Sebastian because some players got injured during the international break. The list includes Eder Militao, Aurelien Tchouameni and Ferland Mendy.

However, that’s why teams like Real Madrid are always fighting for titles because the roster is vast and full of talent. Jesus Vallejo, Fran Garcia and Arda Guler are some of the B-side players who are eager to take advantage of the opportunity

On the other hand, Real Sociedad will truly miss Oyarzabal, who’s expected to be the team’s top scorer. Los Blanquiazules already missed him tremendously in the last game before the international break in which they drew 0-0 against Getafe.

Go with Real Madrid winning by one goal. If you need a score, I like 2-1.

Bet this Pick: Real Madrid (-133)
