Real Sociedad will look to make home advantage count in the first leg of the Copa del Rey semi-finals on Wednesday. This match at the Reale Arena in San Sebastián comes with our prediction of under 2.5 goals.
La Real advanced to this round after defeating Rayo Vallecano (3-1) and Osasuna (2-0) in their last two rounds, both at home. Los Blancos needed extra time to defeat Celta Vigo (5-2) before an away 3-2 win at Leganes in the previous round.
Sociedad won 3-0 at home against Leganes at the weekend for their fifth win in six competitive matches. They are still outside the top six in La Liga and will view this competition as a chance to enter the Europa League.
Sociedad won 11 of their last 13 home matches in all competitions, losing just once. Madrid will look to add to that loss count, having already won 2-0 at this venue in this season in the league.
Madrid also won 2-0 at home against Girona at the weekend, but it was just their fourth win in seven matches. Los Blancos have a score to settle in this competition, having reached the final only once in the last ten seasons.
On the road too, Madrid won two of their last four, drawing and losing one each.
Several Real Madrid players will be absent this evening, namely Courtois, Mbappé and Valverde. These are three key absentees for this match.

Our Real Sociedad vs Real Madrid Prediction
Historically, Sociedad have a 5-2 win-loss record against Madrid in Copa del Rey. While most of those were played in the 1990s, the latest was in 2019/20, when Sociedad won 4-3 in the quarter-finals. The hosts have been in impressive form at this venue, winning 11 of their last 13 matches here in all competitions. Madrid have already won once at this venue this season and have been steady in their recent results, without being spectacular. This could be a low scorer, and our Real Sociedad vs Real Madrid prediction is under 2.5.
