RS vs RM Dream11 Prediction: Real Madrid will kick off the defence of their La Liga crown when they travel to San Sebastian to lock horns against Real Sociedad. Los Blancos were part of an exciting title race last season which went right down to the wire till the 33rd gameweek, where Barcelona fell four points below Madrid. Eventually, their 34th league title was officially awarded to them in the second-last gameweek after a 2-1 win against Villarreal. Sociedad enjoyed a terrific season last time out, with Odegaard as their protagonist in attack, finishing sixth and securing Europa League football. These sides never produce a boring game – there have been more than two combined goals in this fixture the last nine times, and both teams have scored six times out of the previous seven.

Real Sociedad Team News
The Basques, shared the spoils with Real Valladolid in their opener, with the team coming from behind in the second half. Seeing that boss Imanol Alguacil has a number of injury worries, we do not believe that the hosts are capable of grabbing something from Sunday’s football match. Willian Jose remains on the sidelines for the hosts after he was tested positive for coronavirus. Real Sociedad enjoys the home ground advantage and has surprised Real Madrid back in the 2018/19 season, La Liga fixture with a 3-1 win.
Injury update, unavailability
The hosts will miss the service of Asier Illaramendi, Martin Merquelanz, Luca Sangalli and Martin Zubimendi due to injury issues.

Real Madrid Team News
Zinedine Zidane’s men are eager to defend their title, but their first task of the season will be anything but a walk in the park for the reigning champions. Luka Modric is unlikely to recover in time to face Real Sociedad, but Belgium superstar Eden Hazard should be fit for the season opener. With their squad strength, Ramos and Co. will create more chances in the encounter. The home win in full-time will probably be the best bet for the punters to yield decent returns. Besides, Los Blancos have won three of their last five visits to this venue.
Injury update, unavailability
Real Madrid are without Eden Hazard, Marco Asensio, Isco, Lucas Vazquez, Mariano and Eder Militao for injury problem.
RM Playing 11 & Subs (probable)
Thibaut Courtois; Dani Carvajal, Raphael Varane, Sergio Ramos, Marcelo; Toni Kroos, Casemiro, Martin Odegaard; Rodrygo, Karim Benzema, Vinicius Jr

Who will win RS vs RM Today Match Prediction Football
This fixture always proves to be great contests with plenty of goals. Madrid’s lack of match sharpness might allow Oyarzabal and David Silva to help themselves to a few assists. However, the pace and firepower of Madrid’s attack, coupled with Odegaard’s trickery, is sure to result in a glut of goals for Benzema and co. It’s all set to be a winning start for Real Madrid. We predict a 3-1 win for the Madrid-based side in today match prediction.
