Real Madrid is set to chase their second straight win as they take on Real Sociedad, currently positioned 12th, in the upcoming La Liga match this Saturday.
Star forward Kylian Mbappé grabbed attention by scoring both goals in Madrid’s recent 2-0 victory against Real Betis in their last league match.
In contrast, Real Sociedad struggled in their previous outing, only managing a 0-0 draw against 16th-place Getafe, which leaves them with just one win in their opening four matches this season.

Team News and Lineups for Real Sociedad vs. Real Madrid
Eder Militao has returned to training remarkably well after recovering from an injury. With David Alaba and Ferland Mendy unavailable, plus Aurelien Tchouameni and Eduardo Camavinga absent from midfield, Militao will likely feature alongside Antonio Rudiger for added defense. Expect Fran Garcia to start as left-back.
Carlo Ancelotti may opt for a 4-2-3-1 formation due to the midfield absences, placing Luka Modric and Federico Valverde together in the middle, and positioning Brahim Diaz at No. 10 with Jude Bellingham still out of action.
Real Madrid predicted XI (4-2-3-1, right to left): Courtois (GK) — Carvajal, Militao, Rudiger, Garcia — Valverde, Modric — Rodrygo, Brahim Diaz, Vinicius — Mbappe
Injured: David Alaba, Jude Bellingham, Eduardo Camavinga, Dani Ceballos, Aurelien Tchouameni, Ferland Mendy, Jesus Vallejo
Suspended: None
Mikel Oyarzabal has made a surprising return to training from a serious ankle injury he sustained while on international duty. His presence may be viable for the matchday squad on Saturday.
Hamari Traore and Brais Mendez are likely to be absent, hence Oyarzabal’s return is crucial for a side that registered only one shot in their 0-0 draw against Getafe prior to the international break.
Arsen Zakharyan, Alvaro Odriozola, and Aritz Elustondo remain uncertain for selection.
Real Sociedad predicted XI (4-4-1-1, right to left): Remiro (GK) — Munoz, Zubeldia, Pacheco, Aramburu — Kubo, Zubimendi, Turrientes, Gomez — Barrenetxea — Umar
Injured: Arsen Zakharyan, Alvaro Odriozola, Aritz Elustondo, Mikel Oyarzabal (doubt), Hamari Traore, Brais Mendez
Suspended: None
