Match Facts:
Real Sociedad (12th, 42 pts):
- Eusebio Sacristan’s team have failed to win in their last three Liga BBVA games, losing three and drawing another, last weekend away to Villarreal CF (0-0).
- Having kept clean sheets against tough opposition including the likes of FC Barcelona (1-0) and Villarreal (0-0), the home side’s keeper, Geronimo Rulli, has a huge part to play this weekend.

Real Madrid (3rd, 81 pts):
- Los Blancos are on a run of nine straight Liga BBVA wins and lie just a point behind the league leaders. With that in mind, Zinedine Zidane’s charges cannot afford a slip-up if they want to keep up the pressure on Barcelona and Atletico Madrid and maintain their title aspirations.
- The bad news in the Madrid camp is that two of their first-choice stars will miss the game against La Real. Cristiano Ronaldo and Karim Benzema have both been ruled out and Zidane will be forced to shuffle his pack in attack.
