Real Madrid vs Real Sociedad La Liga Tips & Prediction - Los Blancos set for entertaining home win
Real Madrid are set to face Real Sociedad with a strong home record and high expectations as Jose Mourinho returns to the Bernabeu. Despite Sociedad's Copa del Rey victory, their away league form remains poor, earning just three wins on the road last season. Key players including Mbappe are expected to feature prominently, with the Frenchman tipped to score after 10 shots in the previous match. Both teams are likely to get on the scoresheet, but the recommendation is a Real Madrid victory with Mbappe opening his goal tally.

Real Madrid vs Real Sociedad La Liga Tips & Prediction
Jose Mourinho is tipped for a win on his return to the Bernabeu as his Real Madrid side look to continue their recent home dominance over Real Sociedad, with superstar forward Kylian Mbappe also backed for a big game and opening goal of the new La Liga season.
Real Madrid will be looking to make it two wins from two to begin the season and they will be confident of securing all three points here.
Sociedad won the Copa del Rey last season, but struggled more in the league - especially on the road, where they managed to pick up just 17 points and three wins from 19 games.
With Real winning 15 of their last 19 home meetings with Sociedad, the hosts are backed for another victory here - but La Real can get on the scoresheet in defeat, as they did in both encounters last term.
Kylian Mbappe somehow didn't get off the mark in Real's 2-1 opening win over Espanyol on the weekend, but the Frenchman fired off 10 shots and should be able to find the back of the net in this one.
There's decent value in Mbappe opening the scoring - he did just that vs Sociedad last term - while 5+ shots also looks like a solid option.

Real Madrid Form Analysis

It wasn't the most convincing of starts last week, with Real leaving it late to secure a 2-1 victory on the road against Espanyol.
It wasn't the most convincing of starts last week, with Real leaving it late to secure a 2-1 victory on the road against Espanyol.
Jude Bellingham opened the scoring with a pinpoint header following a superb set piece from Arda Guler, but needed substitute Carlos Espi to sneak a 90th-minute winner. Mbappe was heavily involved and racked up 10 shots in total, but couldn't find the back of the net.
Real Madrid Team News
Yan Diomande, Marc Cucurella, Espi, Denzel Dumfries, Ibrahima Konate and Bernardo Silva all joined Real in the summer and all made their club debuts in the win over Espanyol, with the first three coming off the bench.
Eder Militao (muscle), Rodrygo (knee), Raul Asencio (thigh) and Ferland Mendy are all confirmed outs for this one, while Endrick (muscle), Thiago Pitarch (knee) and Aurelien Tchouameni (muscle) are in some doubt.
Possible Real Madrid Starting XI (4-2-3-1): Thibaut Courtois; Denzel Dumfries, Ibrahima Konate, Dean Huijsen, Dani Carvajal; Federico Valverde, Aurelien Tchouameni; Arda Guler, Jude Bellingham, Vinicius Junior; Kylian Mbappe
Real Sociedad Form Analysis
It was a disappointing La Liga campaign for Real Sociedad, who failed to win any of their final seven league matches and slipped to 10th place, finishing just four points above the relegation zone.
Despite their domestic struggles, Sociedad secured European football by lifting the Copa del Rey, defeating Atlético Madrid in a dramatic penalty shootout in the final.
A poor record away from home proved to be their downfall, with Sociedad managing just three league victories on the road throughout the season.
Those struggles continued into the new season, with Sociedad going down 1-0 away to Betis in their opening game. Striker Orri Óskarsson missed a couple of big chances, including an absolute sitter in the dying stages.
Real Sociedad Team News
Spanish World Cup striker Mikel Oyarzabal was used off the bench against Betis and should come into the starting side after scoring against Real last season.
Alvaro Odriozola remains sidelined, while Pablo Marin (muscle), Jon Gorrotxategi (muscle) and Goncalo Guedes (muscle) face late fitness tests.
Possible Real Sociedad Starting XI (4-3-3): Alex Remiro; Jon Aramburu, Igor Zubeldia, Jon Martin, Aihen Munoz; Benat Turrientes, Carlos Soler, Sergio Gomez; Takefusa Kubo, Sheraldo Becker, Mikel Oyarzabal
