Team News:

• Rodrygo, Antonio Rudiger, Dani Carvajal, David Alaba, Eder Militao, Eduardo Camavinga, Ferland Mendy, and Endrick are injured, keeping them out of action for Real Madrid. They might also miss out on Vinicius Jr and Raul Asencio due to the lack of fitness. Although Brahim Diaz is back in training, his availability is still not confirmed.
• Real Sociedad will be without the services of Orri Oskarsson as he is injured. Nayef Aguerd and Sheraldo Becker’s availability depends on their match fitness.

Player(s) to watch:

• Kylian Mbappe has proven to each one of them that he is very capable of dominating La Liga as well, despite facing some criticism during his early days in Spain. The 26-year-old French forward has scored 29 goals in 33 La Liga games this season. Mbappe is the leading goal scorer in the league at the moment and is likely to win the Golden Boot.
• Mikel Oyarzabal scored a crucial goal in the last Spanish league fixture against Girona, which led Real Sociedad to secure three points. He has 12 goal involvements in 34 La Liga games this season. He will be looking to step up here as they face Los Blancos next. It is not going to be an easy contest, but the Spaniard is likely to emerge as the game changer.
