Real Madrid host Real Sociedad at home as they hope to cut the gap to the top of table Barcelona.
Santi Cazorla inspired Villareal held the laid back Real Madrid 2-2 in the midweek fixture. The Los Blancos are missing lot of key layers to injury with Bale doubtful for today’s clash. The White’s will field a full-strength squad as their next clash is in Copa Del Rey.
Real Sociedad succumbed to early goal defeat by Alaves in their last fixture. The side has suffered three losses in their last 3 league games. The Alguacil’s men are just 3 points clear from the drop zone and will be looking to keep their team clear of relegation zone.
Probable Lineup:
Real Madrid:
Courtois (GK); Carvajal, Varane, Ramos, Marcelo; Modric, Casemiro, Kroos; Vazquez, Benzema, Isco.
Real Sociedad:
Rulli (GK); Zaldua, Llorente, Moreno, Munoz; Zubeldia, Illarramendi; Januzaj, Zurutuza, Oyarzabal; Jose.
My Prediction XI:
Courtois (GK); Ramos, Marcelo, Llorente, Moreno; Illarramendi, Zurutuza, Modric, Isco (C), Vazquez; Benzema (Vc).
My Prediction:
Real Madrid will be favorites going into this match.
Real Sociedad will need a perfect to play to hold Real Madrid at their home Stadium.
