Real Madrid – Real Sociedad: Which channel to watch the game on, what time?
La Liga returns this weekend with a game at the top of the table. Real Madrid, second, received third Real Sociedad. In poor form since the restart, Real restarted Thursday night in the King’s Cup with a scramble win against Atlético de Madrid. But with five straight league wins, Real Sociedad have been spectacular.
Since the end of the World Cup, Real Madrid have posted mixed results. With two defeats in the last five matches, the people of Madrid are starting to give up. But a four-time goalscorer in three games since the restart, Karim Benzema is still in top form. Yet another Thursday night, it was he who let Real edge past Atlético in the King’s Cup with his superb goal in the rat-hole between the sticks and Oblak.
On the Real Sociedad side, it runs in La Liga this season. Third in the Spanish championship, team-mate David Silva is unbeaten since 30 October (0-2 against Bétis). If the King’s Cup loss against FC Barcelona (0-1) marked a setback in the Basques’ fine run, Imanol Alguacil remains a real threat to Madrid. If they win, the San Sebastian team can go back up White House in ranking.

Editor’s prognosis
Madrid, which missed several important points in La Liga, relied on this match to get ahead of their pursuers. The Basques, who have faced several notable absences in midfield, will have to work together to overcome Merengue. It promises a good football game to end the weekend on a good note.
