Famous Ukrainian journalist and commentator Roberto Morales shared his expectations from today's Spanish league match between Real Sociedad and Real Madrid.
- This season, Carlo Ancelotti's men lost a two-half match to Atletico Madrid at the Metropolitano in September, 1-3. In January of this year, they again lost to the Matras at their arena, but in extra time (2-4). No one else managed to offend them in official matches.
"The "creamy" champions of the Primera Division are 90% in the mix, meaning that only mathematics, not reality, gives Barcelona a chance to be considered a contender for the title. There are 11 points between the teams with six rounds to go. Accordingly, the Catalans need to win everything, and Madrid need to lose a lot in order for them to swap places. And Real Madrid has a semi-final clash with Bayern Munich in the Champions League ahead. So it will be a priority during the visit to the Anoeta. The team has two losses - Thibaut Courtois and David Alaba - and everyone else is ready to play.
"Sociedad, on the other hand, needs to keep its sixth position from the encroachments of Betis (three points behind) and Valencia (four). It doesn't look like an easy task, but it's not too difficult either, given that the rivals are far from stable. The bet is that the hosts will not lose and both teams will score," Morales said.
