Real Madrid is all set to take on Real Sociedad in a crucial La Liga clash at Anoeta in San Sebastian. This matchup comes at a pivotal time in the season as Los Blancos aim to extend their lead over rivals Barcelona in the league standings.

With Carlo Ancelotti at the helm, Real Madrid will face a determined Real Sociedad side that is vying for a Europa League spot, sitting sixth in the table. The race for European competition berths adds extra spice to this encounter.

The visitors, Real Madrid, are in prime position to secure their 36th league title this season, holding a significant advantage with just six matches remaining. Ancelotti’s men have been in fine form, but they will be wary of potential fatigue ahead of their Champions League semifinal against Bayern Munich next week.

Ancelotti’s team selection is key for this game, with Kepa and Guler among the notable inclusions in the starting lineup. The likes of Eder Militao and Luka Modric will also play crucial roles, aiming to secure three points on the road.

Real Sociedad, on the other hand, will be without key players such as Hamari Traore and Brais Mendez due to injuries. However, the return of players like Igor Zubeldia and Martin Zubimendi will boost the home side’s chances in this encounter.

Fans can catch the action on various platforms, including ESPN+ and ESPN Deportes in the US, as well as Viaplay Sports 2, Viaplay UK, and LaLiga TV in the UK and Ireland. The match kicks off at 21:00 CET, with both teams eyeing a crucial victory in their respective pursuits.
