Real Madrid – Real Sociedad: On which channel and at what time can you watch the match?
La Liga returns this weekend with a clash at the top of the table. The second, “Real Madrid” receives the third “Real Sociedad”. Real, who have been struggling since their resumption, started again with a one-run victory over Atletico de Madrid in the Copa del Rey on Thursday evening. But with five straight league wins, Real Sociedad are in great form.
Since the end of the World Cup, Real Madrid has had mixed results. With two defeats in the last five games, the Madrid players are starting to give up. But Karim Benzema is still in excellent form, having scored four times in three games since his recovery. It was he who allowed Real to beat Atletico in the Copa del Rey on Thursday evening with a superb goal through the mouse hole between the post and Oblak.
He plays for Real Sociedad in La Liga this season. David Silva’s teammates, who are third in the Spanish championship, are unbeaten since October 30 (0:2 against Betis). If the defeat against FC Barcelona in the Copa del Rey (0-1) means a setback in the good Basque results, Imanol Alguacil’s players remain a clear threat for Madrid. If they win, the San Sebastian team can return White House in the rating.

Facts about Real Madrid and their injuries
This is a huge blow for Carlo Ancelotti. Left back Ferland Mendy was released on Thursday night with a sore thigh.

Note that Carvajal, Hazard, Vasquez and Tchouameni will also be unavailable.

Information about Real Sociedad and its injuries
Always surrounded by injuries, the Basques have to do without seven injuries. Among them we find Mikel Merino, the best passer in La Liga. David Silva, who has a calf injury, will not be on the trip either. Moreover, Sadiq, Gorossabel, Guevara, Cho, as well as Sol should not be matched.
Starting XI: Remiro-Elustundo, Zubeldia, Le Normand, Rico-Mendez, Illarramendi, Marin-Cubo, Sorloth, Oyarzabal
Editor’s prediction
Madrid, who have dropped several important points in La Liga, will be hoping for this match to get ahead of their pursuers. Faced with several crucial deficiencies in midfield, the Basques will have to work together to overcome Merengue. It promises a good football match to end the weekend well.
