Real Sociedad vs Real Madrid Preview: Start Time, Team News, How To Watch, Live Stream, & Odds
Real Madrid are back in La Liga action after the international break, as they travel to San Sebastián to face Real Sociedad on September 13. Los Blancos hold a two-point lead over rivals Barcelona after the first three games and will want to maintain that cushion at least.
Xabi Alonso's team won all three games to start the season, conceding just one goal in the previous match against Mallorca. They have also conceded the fewest big chances in their three games out of the 20 La Liga teams. Kylian Mbappe has continued his hot streak for France, scoring twice, adding to his three goals for Real Madrid.
Txuri-Urdin are still without a win, having drawn two games and lost one. After drawing against Valencia and Espanyol, they had a shock loss to Real Oviedo. It's been a tough start for new head coach Sergio Francisco, who could be under pressure if they don't put in a good performance against Los Blancos.
The two teams have faced off 183 times, with Real Madrid winning 102. With 601 goals in all those games, the average is over three goals per game, so don't expect to see a clean sheet in this one. In the last three meetings at Real Arena, the home team has failed to score, with Los Blancos winning all three.
Here are the last five La Liga meetings between the two sides:
