Real Madrid looks determined to push FC Barcelona till the end and they responded well to the Catalans, beating Almeria at the Santiago Bernabeu. The Blancos are back on the road against Real Sociedad where they would be looking to make amends for their showing at Girona. My recommended betting pick in this game is a win or draw for Real Madrid. Here's why you should bet on the Spanish Champions to win;

FIRST REASON

Only Barcelona has racked up more points than Real Madrid this season and they are just unlucky to have a great team in front of them. Real Madrid's performance in the last two months have been excellent and they are still in the race to win three trophies this season. A run of six games with just one defeat has propelled the Whites to the UEFA Champions League semifinals and the finals of the Spanish Copa del Rey. Real Sociedad is already out of all cup competitions and they don't look as good as they were last season. Real Madrid know that they must win on Tuesday and I think they can get the job done here or at least settle for a draw which still keeps them within touching distance of the league leaders.

SECOND REASON

Real Madrid's record against the Basque team is very good and the last time they lost against Real Sociedad in the league was as far back as 2019. They have won two of their last three games against Real Sociedad, scoring six goals and conceding just once. Carlo Ancelotti's men were able to get a good result last time against Real Sociedad despite not being at their best The last time Real Madrid visited this stadium, they claimed all three points and now they have a much better team which makes this a lot easier for them. Both teams still have some names on the sidelines but with the lineup available for both managers, Real Madrid boasts a better XI and I don't see them losing to Real Sociedad. Los Blancos is in the middle of a title race and you should back them to win or draw against Real Sociedad.
