Real Madrid host Real Sociedad on Sunday, in what will be Carlo Ancelotti's final game as manager of the home side. It has been a largely disappointing season for Madrid, as they have failed to defend their Champions League crown and have seen Barcelona beat them to the La Liga title. With the likes of Ferland Mendy, Rodrygo and David Alaba heavily rumoured to be departing over the Summer, new boss Xabi Alonso will have his hands full next season as he bids to get Madrid back on track.
Sociedad have also endured a largely forgettable season. Despite 18 goals in all competitions from Spain forward Mikel Oyarzabal, Sociedad have rarely threatened to mount a serious challenge for a top six finish. They also crashed out of the Europa League at the last 16 stage and fell to an agonizing 5-4 defeat to Madrid in the quarter final of the Copa del Rey.

Real Madrid - Real Sociedad: Form Analysis
Real Madrid clearly failed to live up to expectations this season. The Madrid club indeed won the European Supercup and the Intercontinental Cup. However, they were knocked out in the quarter-finals of the Champions League, and were beaten by Barcelona in both the Copa del Rey final (3-2 a.e.) and the Spanish Supercup final (2-5). The team coached by Carlo Ancelotti also failed to win La Liga. The Madrid club finished 2nd in the Spanish championship, behind the Blaugrana. However, having won 2 La Liga titles in a row, they will be keen to wrap up their campaign before turning their attention to the Club World Cup.
Real Sociedad can no longer hope to compete in a European competition next season.
It's not easy for Real Sociedad either. After being knocked out in the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey by Real Madrid and in the Europa League Round of 16 by Manchester United, the Basque club has not shone in La Liga. Accustomed to fighting for Europe, they find themselves in 11th position in the standings going into the final day. Imanol Alguacil's men can no longer hope to compete in Europe next season. In fact, they have won just once in their 7 previous league matches. A complicated situation when they travel to the Spanish capital.

Real Madrid & Real Sociedad Squad Analysis
Real Madrid will be missing a number of players on the final day of La Liga. Carlo Ancelotti will be without Dani Carvajal, Eder Militao, Antonio Rüdiger, David Alaba, Ferland Mendy, Eduardo Camavinga, Jude Bellingham, Rodrygo and Endrick. And Vinicius Junior is still in doubt. Nevertheless, the Madrid coach is keeping a quality squad for his last spell in charge of the Merengues. It's hard not to think immediately of Kylian Mbappé. The French striker is finishing very strongly. He has scored 8 goals in his side's last 5 matches. Still in contention to win the Soulier d'Or, he'll be looking to follow that up this Saturday.
Kylian Mbappé wants to win the Golden Boot.
As for Real Sociedad, Orri Oskarsson is out. Nayef Aguerd and Sheraldo Becker are also doubtful. Mikel Oyarzabal came to the fore in his side's last match. He picked up 1 goal and 1 assist in the 3-2 win over Girona. Takefusa Kubo also knows that his former club eagerly awaits him. This season, he managed to score 7 goals and provide 4 assists in all competitions.

Our Real Madrid vs Real Sociedad Prediction
There is little riding on this game, but we are still expecting it to be a lively encounter. The main reason for that is the incredible form of Madrid striker Kylian Mbappe. The French superstar is on fire at the moment and has found the net seven times in his last four La Liga starts. Given Sociedad's somewhat fragile backline, we really like Mbappe's chances of adding at least another two goals to his impressive tally for the season. Our prediction for Real Madrid vs Real Sociedad is: Kylian Mbappe to score 2+ goals.
