Real Madrid have been in potent form at Estadio Santiago Bernabeu, winning no less than five of the past six La Liga matches here.

This was followed by another draw with Las Palmas, this time 0-0, before they outclassed Granada by 5-3. Real Sociedad, meanwhile, won twice, while they've drawn two and lost two in their last six away in the La Liga.
