La Liga: Real Sociedad vs Real Madrid odds and betting preview

Real Madrid could go top of La Liga this weekend with a win at Real Sociedad and bookmakers believe they should make short work of their hosts, with William Hill going no longer than 2/9 on Jose Mourinho's side. The draw is available at 13/2 with Victor Chandler, while the same firm are as big as 16/1 on a win for Sociedad.

To say that the visitors are in good form would be something of an understatement. In their past seven games (all victories) they have scored an incredible 32 goals, conceding only three. They are one point behind Levante in the table and look likely to apply pressure on the leaders with another success against a team boasting five defeats in their last six matches.

The correct score market is headed by comfortable away wins, with 2-0 and 3-0 to Madrid the joint-favourite scores for the game, at 13/2 with Paddy Power. Victor Chandler offer 9/1 on a slimmer 1-0, and 14/1 on a 1-1 draw, while the hosts can be backed at 40/1 with Paddy Power to sneak a 1-0 win.

Cristiano Ronaldo has hit an awesome ten goals in nine appearances this season and the Portuguese phenomenon is the 12/5 favourite with Bet 365 to open the scoring on Saturday. He is followed in the betting by Gonzalo Higuain and Karim Benzema, at 3/1 and 7/2 with Ladbrokes, while former World Player of the Year Kaka is available at 5/1 with Coral. For Sociedad, the best chance of taking the lead comes from Imanol Agirretxe, at 12/1 with Victor Chandler.

Sociedad will really struggle to contain Madrid and the visitors are 8/13 with Paddy Power to lead at both half-time and full-time on Saturday. Draw/Madrid is 4/1 with Betfred, while Boylesports make it 11/1 that both halves finish level. Sociedad/Sociedad and draw/Sociedad are 25/1 and 28/1 respectively with Bodog. 

Although Madrid have made the better start to the season, Barcelona are favourites to win the title, at 8/13 with Stan James, with Victor Chandler going 13/8 on the men from the capital. 

The game kicks off at 21.00 BST and will be live on Sky Sports.
