    Season Form & Standings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

    Real Madrid have combined league-best attacking numbers (49 goals, 37 assists) with defensive steel (only 18 conceded in 23 games), earning them 2nd place and a 78% win rate. Sociedad’s campaign has been more volatile: 8th after 23 matches, with 33 goals for, 31 against, and an even split of wins and losses. Madrid’s home form and consistency stand in sharp contrast to Sociedad’s patchy away record.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
