Real Madrid will be looking to maintain their strong start to the season when they welcome Real Sociedad to the Santiago Bernabeu. Los Blancos secured a dramatic 2-1 victory over Espanyol last time out, with the late winner keeping them on track as they look to bring the glory days back to the Bernabeu under Jose Mourinho. Madrid have won 80% of their last 10 matches, averaging 1.90 goals per game, while they have also failed to score in just one of those outings. Rodrygo, Tchouameni and Endrick remain sidelined, but Yan Diomande and Marc Cucurella are pushing for their full La Liga debuts. As always, top scorer Kylian Mbappe will lead the line for the hosts.
Real Sociedad, meanwhile, are desperate to stop the rot after suffering a 1-0 defeat to Real Betis. They have won just two of their last 10 matches, while their defensive problems are particularly concerning, with no clean sheets during that run. Mikel Oyarzabal is expected to return to the starting XI after featuring from the bench against Betis. Marin, Odriozola and Guedes remain out injured. Madrid have dominated this fixture historically, winning 25 of the last 35 meetings.
Real Madrid are in much better form and with key players available for selection. Therefore, our main prediction firmly points toward Home Win, alongside Real Madrid Over 1.5 and Kylian Mbappe to Score.
This Primera Division match will be played on Wednesday 26 August 2026 at 20:00.
