Real Sociedad is coming into this match not playing in good form in their recent matches. They have lost 2 of their 4 matches to start the season with only 1 win in that span. Their only win came against Espanyol away from home 1-0, but they have actually lost both of their home matches this season. They have allowed 2 goals in each of their 2 home matches as well. They are going up against a Real Madrid side that has been in good form to start the season. They have won 2 of their last 3 matches with no losses in that span. They have also won 2 of their 4 matches this season with no losses. Their defense has been good as they have allowed just 2 goals in their 4 matches this season, and their attack has been good as they have scored at least 2 goals in 2 of their last 3 matches. Both of their away matches this season have ended in 1-1 draws, but they are coming out of an international break and will be pushing to get back in the title race. Real Madrid has already dropped points on 2 different occasions with those 2 away draws while their rival Barcelona sits atop the table with a perfect 4-0-0 record. Real Madrid cannot afford to drop anymore points if they want to stay in this title race with Barcelona as the La Liga Title has gotten away from teams early in recent years, so they are going to be pushing to win this match out of the break and this is a good spot for Real Madrid to get their 1st away win. Real Sociedad has already lost both of their home matches this season and their defense has been awful in those, their defense being a key part of their success in the league over the last few seasons. Real Madrid has too much quality in their squad to lose this match now that they have fallen behind in the title race. Real Madrid will win this match and collect all 3 points here.
