Real Madrid are warm favourites to win Sunday’s clash against Real Sociedad, although the latest betting odds suggest that they’re not certain to land a victory. Despite a 100% start to the season, it might not be plain sailing for Carlo Ancelotti’s side when it comes to getting the better of opponents who have enjoyed an unbeaten start to the season themselves.
The big challenge for the visitors is how to stop Jude Bellingham. The England starlet has hit the ground running for his new club since a big money arrival from Borussia Dortmund, with the midfielder helping Los Merengues to four straight victories. It was the same player that scored a late winner against Getafe a fortnight ago.
Sociedad are certainly capable of landing a positive result and they have landed six points from their first four games, with Imanol Alguacil the long-term manager at the club who helped the team to finish in fourth place last term to qualify for the Champions League. The campaign began with three successive draws against Girona, Celta Vigo and Las Palmas.
There were then fireworks when the team were able to secure an entertaining 5-3 victory over Granada, with Takefusa Kubo at the double in that game before helping Japan to a 4-1 victory over Germany and a 4-2 win over Turkey. We think that if you are backing Real Madrid to win the game, you could do worse than wager them along with BTTS Yes.
