| Real Madrid to win & BTTS | 13/8 | Real Madrid opened their LaLiga campaign with a 2-1 win at Espanyol, with Jude Bellingham and Carlos Espí finding the net. Real Sociedad, meanwhile, lost 1-0 to Real Betis in their opener and now face a difficult trip to the Bernabéu. With Madrid possessing significantly greater attacking quality but still showing some defensive vulnerability, back Real Madrid to win with both teams to score. |
| Kylian Mbappe Over 2.5 shots on target | 13/10 with BetMGM | Mbappe is the standout goal threat and is odds-on to find the net against a Sociedad side still finding its feet. |
