Real Madrid vs. Real Sociedad: Head-to-head record and past meetings ahead of La Liga clash

Real Madrid will be aiming to conclude their 2024-25 campaign on a positive note when they welcome Real Sociedad to Bernabeu.

Los Blancos have ended the season with only the UEFA Super Cup to add to their trophy cabinet, with the team falling short in La Liga, the Champions League, the Copa del Rey and the Spanish Super Cup.

Real Madrid will finish second in the La Liga table regardless of what happens on the final weekend of the season, and their attention will now switch to a future without Carlo Ancelotti at the helm.

Xabi Alonso is set to be confirmed as Ancelotti's replacement in the near future, and he will be tasked with leading the team back to the top of Spanish and European football next term.

As for Real Sociedad, a disappointing season has left them down in 11th spot in the table.

Here, Sports Mole takes a look at the head-to-head record and past meetings between the two teams ahead of their contest in the Spanish capital on Saturday afternoon.

Head-to-head record

Previous meetings: 182

Real Sociedad wins: 38

Draws: 43

Real Madrid wins: 101

Given Real Madrid's status as one of the biggest clubs in world football, it is not too surprising that Los Blancos have more success than Real Sociedad across the 181 meetings between the two sides.

With that said, La Real have managed to avoid defeat in 80 of their 181 encounters, having recorded 38 victories and 43 draws against Real Madrid.

Los Blancos have netted 374 goals in this fixture, including 15 goals apiece from Cristiano Ronaldo and Santillana as the joint-leading scorers in this fixture.

Meanwhile, the Basque side have netted 225 goals against Real Madrid, including 10 from forward Darko Kovacevic, who enjoyed two spells with Real Sociedad in his career.

Real Madrid have proven to be a tough team to beat in recent league meetings, having lost just one of their previous 11 La Liga games against La Real (D3, L7).

In fact, Ancelotti's side have won each of their previous three top-flight encounters, including a 2-0 win in September's away fixture, which came courtesy of goals from Vinicius Junior and Kylian Mbappe.

That result represented Real Madrid's fourth win in six league visits to the Reale Arena, while they have avoided defeat in each of their previous five home La Liga meetings since losing 2-0 in January 2019.
