Real Madrid vs Real Sociedad prediction, H2H and probable lineups — April 1, 2025
In the semi-final of the Spanish Cup, a match between the two Reals, Madrid against Sociedad, will take place. The encounter is scheduled for Tuesday, April 1. The game is set to kick off at 21:30 Central European Time. I offer a bet on the winner of this game.
Match preview
The Madrid giants are entering a crucial phase of the season, competing in three tournaments. Real is close to another Spanish Cup final and will face Arsenal in the Champions League.
Over the weekend, Los Blancos struggled at home but managed to edge out Leganes. Trailing during the match, Ancelotti's men found the strength to snatch victory thanks to a brace from Mbappe and a goal from Bellingham. This success kept their three-point gap behind Barcelona intact.
The Basques are unusually low in La Liga, sitting only in 10th place. With each round, their chances of reaching European competitions diminish, but they can achieve their goals by winning the King's Cup, although they lost the first match in Madrid.
After a draw with Rayo Vallecano, the Basques hosted the league's main underdog, Valladolid. Sociedad did not impress with their play, especially in front of the goal, but managed to extract maximum value and ultimately celebrated a narrow victory.

Prediction
The visitors' chances of reaching the final look slim. There's no doubt Sociedad will put up a fight, but achieving overall success will be extremely challenging. I'm betting on the Basque club with a +2 goal handicap.
