With Real Madrid riding high at the top of the league and Real Sociedad struggling to find their footing, this match is set to deliver drama, skill, and plenty of talking points. Whether you\u2019re a die-hard fan or just tuning in for the spectacle, here\u2019s everything you need to know about the potential lineups, score predictions and more.<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Match Preview<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Real Madrid, under the guidance of Xabi Alonso, have started the 2025-26 La Liga season in scintillating form, winning all three of their opening matches. With a squad boasting the likes of Kylian Mbapp\u00e9 and Vin\u00edcius Jr., Los Blancos are not only leading the league but also carrying an unbeaten streak against Real Sociedad in their last six encounters. Their attacking prowess and defensive solidity make them the favorites heading into this game.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">On the other hand, Real Sociedad are in a rough patch. Sitting 16th in the La Liga table, they\u2019re yet to secure a win this season, with two draws and a loss to newly promoted Real Oviedo. Under new head coach Sergio Francisco, the team is still finding its rhythm after a disappointing 11th-place finish last season. Despite their struggles, the Reale Arena is a fortress, and players like Takefusa Kubo and Mikel Oyarzabal could pose a threat if they hit their stride.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">This matchup is more than just a game\u2014it\u2019s a chance for Real Sociedad to turn their season around and for Real Madrid to solidify their title credentials. Let\u2019s dive into the details.<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Potential Lineups<\/h2>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Real Sociedad Predicted Lineup (4-3-3)<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"tight\" dir=\"ltr\" data-tight=\"true\">\n<li>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Goalkeeper<\/strong>: \u00c1lex Remiro<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Defenders<\/strong>: Hamari Traor\u00e9, Igor Zubeldia, Duje \u0106aleta-Car, Aihen Mu\u00f1oz<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Midfielders<\/strong>: Brais M\u00e9ndez, Jon Gorrotxategi, Pablo Mar\u00edn<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Forwards<\/strong>: Takefusa Kubo, Mikel Oyarzabal, Ander Barrenetxea<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h3 dir=\"ltr\">Real Madrid Predicted Lineup (4-3-3)<\/h3>\n<ul class=\"tight\" dir=\"ltr\" data-tight=\"true\">\n<li>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Goalkeeper<\/strong>: Thibaut Courtois<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Defenders<\/strong>: Trent Alexander-Arnold, \u00c9der Milit\u00e3o, Dean Huijsen, Fran Garc\u00eda<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Midfielders<\/strong>: Federico Valverde, Aur\u00e9lien Tchouam\u00e9ni, Arda G\u00fcler<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Forwards<\/strong>: Franco Mastantuono, Kylian Mbapp\u00e9, Vin\u00edcius Jr.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Recent Form<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Real Madrid have been relentless, securing victories over Osasuna (1-0), Real Oviedo (3-0), and Mallorca (2-1) to start the season. Their attack, led by Mbapp\u00e9 and Vin\u00edcius Jr., has been clinical, while their defense has conceded just one goal in three matches. However, their injury list is a concern, and Alonso will need to manage his squad carefully with a busy schedule looming.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Real Sociedad, meanwhile, have struggled to convert chances into goals. Their 1-1 draw against Valencia showed resilience, but a 2-2 draw with Espanyol and a 1-0 loss to Real Oviedo exposed their lack of cutting edge. At home, though, they\u2019re a different beast, and their high-pressing style could trouble Madrid if they\u2019re not at their sharpest.<\/p>\n<h2 dir=\"ltr\">Score Prediction<\/h2>\n<p dir=\"ltr\">Given Real Madrid\u2019s form and historical dominance, they\u2019re the clear favorites. However, Real Sociedad\u2019s home advantage and desperation for a win could make this a closer contest than the standings suggest. Expect Madrid\u2019s attacking stars to shine, but Sociedad might nick a goal through Kubo or Oyarzabal.<\/p>\n<p dir=\"ltr\"><strong>Prediction<\/strong>: Real Sociedad 1-3 Real Madrid<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As La Liga heats up, the clash between Real Sociedad and Real Madrid on September 13, 2025, at the Reale\u2026<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":217,"featured_media":37045,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[266,2786],"class_list":["post-16068","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-football","tag-real-madrid","tag-real-sociedad"],"reading_time":"3 min read","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16068","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/217"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=16068"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/16068\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/37045"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=16068"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=16068"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.businessupturn.com\/sports\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=16068"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
