Why Bet on Real Sociedad?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Real Sociedad has had a good season but\u00a0was unable to\u00a0have the leap in quality expected by its fans, who hope to at least qualify for European competition next season. Despite a goal by Ander Barrenetxea, they\u00a0were held\u00a0to a 1-1 draw at Getafe.\u00a0

With this result, the club is in sixth place with 51 points, for now qualifying for the next Europa League, incredibly thanks to its fiercest rival, Athletic Club. Although the Leones are fifth, they are already champions of the Copa del Rey and, therefore, qualify automatically for the Europa League, giving the qualification spot of fifth place to the sixth.\u00a0<\/strong>

The 10 points difference with Atl\u00e9tico de Madrid seems difficult to deduct, so playing in the Champions League next year will depend on the quotas that <\/strong>LaLiga<\/strong><\/a> has with the new format of the European tournament.\u00a0<\/strong>

Real is a\u00a0strong\u00a0defensive team, having allowed only 34 goals. It is the third-best defense in Spanish soccer.\u00a0At home,\u00a0the Basques have won only one of their last five matches.\u00a0So far, they have six wins, six draws, and only three losses.\u00a0<\/strong>

The injured players are Carlos Fern\u00e1ndez, Mart\u00edn Merquelanz, Aihen M\u00fa\u00f1ez and Brais M\u00e9ndez. Mart\u00edn Zubimendi, suspended, will be able to return.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why Bet on Real Madrid?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Real Madrid has shown that it has no rival in Spain, not only because it is the sole\u00a0leader,\u00a0but also because it has gone the furthest in the Champions League. La Casa Blanca comes from a hard-fought and remarkable victory in El Clasico against Barcelona by 3-2. Vin\u00edcius, Lucas V\u00e1squez, and Jude Bellingham scored the goals.\u00a0

The English midfielder, the best player of the capital team in this campaign, scored the winning goal. In LaLiga alone, he has 17 goals, one behind the player currently winning the Pichichi, Ukrainian Artem Dovbyk. With this goal in El Clasico, Bellingham cut short a streak of four games without scoring.\u00a0<\/strong>

Real Madrid, which has the Champions League semifinals against Bayern Munich on the horizon, is a great visitor, with 11 wins, four draws, and one defeat. That’s 37 points away from home. The Merengues have 70 goals scored, the best record in the tournament, and only allowed 22, making them the best defense.\u00a0<\/strong>

Considering that they have an 11-point lead with 18 points at stake and that on Tuesday they will be playing in Germany in the Champions League semifinal, it is likely that Carlo Ancelotti will field substitutes this Friday.\u00a0

The club’s only injured players are David Alaba and Thibaut Courtois.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n
