Recent situation analysis

Real Sociedad: The system is mature, and hidden worries are beginning to show. At the beginning of the new season, Real Sociedad's journey can be said to be a low-rise and end high. After losing to the strong rival Atletico Madrid in the first round of the league, the team quickly adjusted their state, defeating the newly promoted Valladolid and powerful team Sevilla one after another, returning to the victory track, showing the mature tactical qualities and strong self-adjustment ability of the team under Coach Alguacir. The team continues the style of combining iconic high-post pressing with delicate pass control. The international iron triangle composed of Merino, Suvi Mendy and Bryce Mendes in the midfield is still the core driving force of the team's operation, and its control cannot be underestimated. However, the departure of Lenoermann, the captain of the buzzer-bearing transfer window and the absolute core of the defense, laid huge hidden dangers for the team's stable defense. New players still need time to integrate into the system, and this round will face the world's top forward impact, which is undoubtedly the most severe immediate test for them.

Real Madrid: Starting strongly, hidden dangers

Real Madrid starts the defending journey of the new season with a thunderous momentum. He won all the best in the first three rounds of the league, scoring ten goals frantically while conceding only two goals, showing almost terrifying dominance on both ends of the offense and defense. Ancelotti successfully integrated Mbappe into the system. The "MVr" supercar forward line formed by him, Vinicius and Rodrigo made all defenders frightened, while Bellingham still maintained a phenomenal free performance in the midfield and frontcourt, scoring and assisting omnipotently. Tony Cross's return has brought the team's midfield control and rhythm control to a new level. However, behind the brilliant achievements, the attack of the "FIFA virus" has become the biggest hidden worry. Most of the main players in the team have been recruited by their respective national teams, especially Vinicius, Rodrigo, Valverde and other South American players have gone through long journeys across continents. The players' physical reserves and physical condition will become the key variables for whether they can escape from the devil's home court.

Historical Confrontation

Judging from historical data, Real Madrid undoubtedly has an overwhelming psychological advantage. Looking at the records of the two sides' matches, Real Madrid has more wins and less losses, and its overall strength is significantly higher. Especially in the two-leg match last season, Real Madrid achieved a "double kill" against Real Sociedad: first, he won 1-0 away with Valverde's goal, and then returned to home, he completed a big victory with a score of 4-1, showing his strong dominance. However, the other side of the data reveals that the "Bedsheet Legion" Real Sociedad has never been an easy bone to gnaw at its own Arnoetta Stadium. They have successfully blocked the giants here many times in recent years. Even when facing Real Madrid, they can often maintain the suspense of the game until the last moment, and even have classic battles to tie their opponents. Therefore, history tells us that Real Madrid's trip is not a smooth journey. Every time they visit San Sebastian, they must be fully prepared to face a arduous battle.

Score prediction

Most likely score: Real Sociedad VS Real Madrid: 1-2, 0-2

Analysis: Real Madrid has the top attack combination in football today. Mbappe, Vinicius, Bellingham and Rodrigo's personal abilities are enough to change the game in a flash. Facing a new defense line that has lost its defensive core and is still in the running-in period, Real Madrid's supercar forward line will gain a lot of space and opportunities.
