Our prediction for this Primera Division match:
All eyes will be on Reale Arena when Real Sociedad and Real Madrid go head to head in the La Liga derby on Tuesday evening. The Basques did well to beat Osasuna in Pamplona at the weekend, with the team retaining their spot in top four, but they will have a much bigger fish to fry against los Rojiblancos. Mikel Oyarzabal is pushing for a start as well as Japan forward Takefusa Kubo, who sealed the victory against los Rojillos.
Carlo Ancelotti’s troops, on the other hand, aim to build on a 4-2 win over Almeria. Real Madrid, though, will be without influential winger Vinicius Junior in the midweek clash, which is probably the main reason why we are going to put our money on draw. Talented midfielder Eduardo Camavinga is banned for the match as well, while both David Alaba and Ferland Mendy remain in the recovery room. Luka Modric is a major doubt.

Striker Karim Benzema came through his youth club Bron Terraillon in Olympique Lyon were he went through all the youth teams.
