After breaking the hearts of Barcelona and shattering every little hope they had of making a comeback in the Spanish La Liga, Real Madrid will now try to finish the job of being the champions of the 2023/2024 Spanish League with a game away at stubborn Sociedad.
With memories of a victory over Real Madrid at their Reale Arena fading after a 2-1 defeat by the Los Blancos at the Bernabeu this season, and a UEFA Champions League and Europa spot still achievable with 6 games to go, Sociedad will be hoping to get something out of this game.
MSport has provided some interesting odds on the huge La Liga game happening on Friday night to give Real Madrid enough time to prepare for their UEFA Champions League semi-final first-leg game against German giants Bayern Munich.
1. Market Option: Goals > Specific Market: Anytime goal scorer > Option: Junior Vinicius to Score (Odd: 3.10) Booking Code: B2PHBKT
While Jude Bellingham steals the headlines in Real Madrid games this season and did so again in their 3-2 El Clasico win last Sunday, Vinicius Jr is and has always been a key cog in Real Madrid’s attacking machine this season scoring against Barcelona last Sunday too.
Against Real Sociedad on Sunday, with Jude Bellingham set to miss the game due to a slight sickness, it is expected that the Brazilian winger will be the player to do the scoring for Real Madrid, having scored away against them in 2021 when the two met that season.
2. Market Option: Goals > Specific Market: Anytime goal scorer > Option: Barrenetxea, Ander to Score (Odd: 5.00) Booking Code: B2PHGK7
Real Sociedad have scored at least one goal in all their last 5 games in Laliga games scoring 4 goals, 2 goals each, in their two home games against Cadiz and Almeria. That, coupled with the fact that they beat Real Madrid 2-0 in their game at home in the league makes us feel the home side could well get a goal today.
The player that most likely comes to mind to get a goal for Real Sociedad is their 22-year-old left winger, Ander Barrenetxea.
Not only did he score for Imanol Alguacil’s men in their last 1-1 draw versus Getafe but he also got the consolation goal for Sociedad in their 2-1 loss to Real this season and also scored the 2nd goal against Madrid in Sociedad’s 2-0 win over them at home last season.
3. Market Option: Goals > Specific Market: Anytime goal scorer > Option: Kubo Takefusa to Score (Odd: 4.10) and Specials (Market) > 1×2&GG/NG > Draw and Yes (Odd: 4.40)
Total Odds: 8.50 Booking Code: B2PK23E
Real Sociedad have played out two separate draws, a 2-2 and a 1-1, against Almeria and Getafe each, with the first at home and the second away, while Real Madrid have played out just a single draw in their last 5 games, the 3-3 against Man City in the Champions League.
That coupled with the fact that there have been 3 draws in the last 7 meetings between these two La Liga sides, makes us think a draw with goals is possible in this game with a former Madrid player, Kubo, scoring for the home side because of how Ancelotti’s team concedes against their former players when they meet.
