Head-to-head statistics Real Madrid - Real Sociedad
Real Madrid Team Overview
Real Madrid continue their quest for all possible trophies, now just a step away from reaching the Copa del Rey final. The only and decisive goal in the first leg was scored by Brazilian forward Endrick. Their path to the semifinals hasn't been easy: they narrowly defeated Leganes in regular time (3-2) and only overcame Celta Vigo in extra time (5-2 AET). In the last league match, Carlo Ancelotti employed an uncharacteristic 4-4-2 formation, with Arda Güler and Kylian Mbappe taking on the roles of nominal forwards. Still sidelined due to injuries are Dani Carvajal, Dani Ceballos, Thibaut Courtois, Ferland Mendy, and Éder Militão.

Real Sociedad Team Overview
On Saturday, Real Sociedad secured a much-anticipated victory over Valladolid (2-1). The San Sebastian club slightly bolstered their position in La Liga, breaking into the top 10. After their exit from the Europa League, the national cup remains the only competition where they have a shot at success. On their way to the semifinals, they defeated Xove (5-0), Conquense (1-0), Ponferradina (2-0), Rayo Vallecano (3-1), and Osasuna (2-0). Although they lost the first leg against Real Madrid, the match highlighted some vulnerabilities in the "Galacticos" that could be exploited. The team still deals with injuries to Sheraldo Becker, Brais Méndez, Jon Pacheco, and Arsen Zakharyan.

⚽️ Goal Prediction
In 5 of the last 6 head-to-head encounters, no more than 2 goals have been scored. This is largely due to Real Sociedad's pragmatic approach. However, Real Madrid have also shown solid defensive performances, managing clean sheets in their last three meetings against Sociedad. Given the significance of the upcoming match, our prediction is total goals under 3.5.
🚩 Corner Prediction
The average number of corners in these head-to-head clashes stands at 11.1 (6.3 for Real Madrid against 4.8 for Sociedad). In 7 of the last 9 matches involving the capital club, there have been at least 11 corners. The frequent overloads on the flanks and effective transitional play will likely increase the number of corners. Our choice is total corners over 9.5.
Editor's Prediction
Given the home side's advantage from the first leg, we anticipate some squad rotation. It's possible that the classic 4-4-2 formation will be deployed again. We expect cautious play from both teams, which might impact the goal tally. Our prediction is a 1-0 finish, with our primary bet being on under 3.5 goals.
