Real Madrid Hosts Real Sociedad in La Liga Opener

Real Madrid is set to play against Real Sociedad at the Santiago Bernabéu on Wednesday night in their first home match of the La Liga season.

The match comes after Madrid's squad has been impacted by injuries, particularly in defense, while their attack is led by Vinícius Júnior, who previously scored twice against Sociedad. Real Sociedad, on the other hand, is looking to bounce back from a 1-0 loss to Real Betis in their opening match.

Historically, Madrid has had the upper hand in recent encounters, winning seven of the last eight matches against Sociedad. Both teams will be missing key players, with Jude Bellingham's status uncertain after he sustained an ankle injury, and Sociedad missing Alvaro Odriozola due to long-term injury.
