Real Madrid's second home fixture in a week brings Real Sociedad to the Bernabéu, a ground where Sociedad have historically struggled to find any real rhythm.
The model reflects that history clearly — a 68.5% win probability for Madrid against just 13.4% for Sociedad, with the draw at 18.1%. This isn't purely reputation; Sociedad's away form specifically against the traditional top sides has been the softest part of their game in recent seasons.
Our lean: a comfortable Madrid win, with the real question being squad rotation given the quick turnaround between fixtures.
