Real Madrid vs Real Sociedad
Wolfgang Shotten; Spanish Football Analyst at BettingTips4You
Barcelona to win | |
5/4 - odds when tipped |  |
Reasoning Barcelona's form and firepower should prove too much for an Atletico side struggling for consistency and missing key players. With Lewandowski sharp in front of goal and Flick's men on a 20-game unbeaten run, the visitors should have enough quality to progress with an outright win in normal time.

Key Stats:
- Real Sociedad have lost five of their last six away games in domestic competitions.
- Kylian Mbappé has scored 33 goals this season in all competitions for Real Madrid.
- Real Madrid have scored 3+ goals in four of their last six home fixtures.
Rationale
Tuesday’s standout fixture takes us to the Santiago Bernabéu where Real Madrid aim to complete the job they started in San Sebastián. Holding a slender 1-0 advantage from the first leg of this Copa del Rey semi-final, Carlo Ancelotti’s side are poised to progress—yet there’s every reason to believe this contest won’t be a cagey one.
Madrid’s attacking rhythm has been electric in recent weeks. They edged Leganés 3-2 at the weekend, and once again, it was Kylian Mbappé who stole the spotlight. The Frenchman’s brace took his goal tally for the season to 33 in all competitions. Add to that the expected return of Vinicius Junior, Rodrygo and Valverde, and the hosts will likely field a full-strength attacking trio, with Jude Bellingham supporting from deep.
Real Sociedad’s form, in stark contrast, has nosedived. Despite a win over Valladolid at the weekend, they had failed to secure a victory in their previous five outings. Their away record is also concerning—five defeats in their last six domestic road matches paints a clear picture of their vulnerability away from San Sebastián.
Madrid are also on a relentless hunt for trophies. With La Liga and the Champions League both firmly in their sights, the treble dream remains alive—and momentum is everything. While Ancelotti may rotate slightly, the core of the side remains dangerous, and Lunin has looked increasingly assured between the sticks in cup fixtures.
Sociedad’s defence is likely to come under sustained pressure, and with Mbappé leading the line in superb form, it’s difficult to see the Basque side avoiding a high-scoring defeat. History also favours the hosts—La Real have not won a league match at the Bernabéu since 2019, and that trend looks set to continue.
Expect a vibrant showing from the capital side, especially with home support driving them forward and the incentive of a cup final at stake.
