Real Madrid haven't lost a game in La Liga so far this season. However, they find themselves second in the table to Barcelona. But, next up for Los Blancos is Real Sociedad away from home.
For Carlo Ancelotti, now is the perfect time to build momentum. With Kylian Mbappe breaking his draught before the international break, Real Madrid can set them up on a good trajectory if they put some good results to.
Barcelona are proving a tough nut to crack under new manager Hansi Flick but if Real Madrid control their own tempo, they are always favourites to win La Liga.
So, here is the Real Sociedad vs Real Madrid preview, featuring all the key information you must know before kick-off.

Real Sociedad vs Real Madrid Score Prediction
No La Liga game is ever easy, particularly since Spanish sides like to formulate a low-block against the champions Real Madrid.
However, I do think Real Madrid have what it takes to win this match and win it rather comfortably, particularly with Sociedad's best player out. I will go with Real Sociedad 0-2 Real Madrid, getting the job done.
