What this means: where our model sits above the bookies is where we see value they don't; below means the market already has it priced, no edge there.

The model makes Real Madrid 65% favourites here. Real Sociedad carry the 14% upset.
Real Madrid (6th, 3 pts) are firmly in the top six and host a Real Sociedad side (17th, 0 pts) languishing in the bottom half. On paper, this looks comfortable.
We lean towards Real Madrid at 65%. The edge is there but not overwhelming, so a stake-back-on-a-draw option is worth a thought for an acca.
Our PickReal Madrid to win at @1.40. Model probability 65% vs implied 71%. The market is 7pp more bullish than our model, so this is a stability pick, not a value one.
Season-long, Real Madrid average 3.0 points per game compared to Real Sociedad's 0.0. that gap in consistency is hard to ignore. The gap in chance quality is clear: Real Madrid come out at +0.6 a game (chances they create minus chances they give up) compared to -0.2. that's a real edge in the quality of chances.
xG explained: Expected Goals measures chance quality. 1.5 xG = a side typically converts those chances into 1.5 goals. Outscoring xG = running hot, possible regression risk.
Real Madrid create chances worth 1.6 a game (and give up chances worth 1.0), leaving them +0.6 a game on the balance. Real Sociedad create 1.6 (giving up 1.8) for a balance of -0.2. The underlying numbers clearly favour Real Madrid. They're creating better chances AND giving up fewer good ones.
Goals are a tough one to call here. Real Madrid are scoring 2.0 a game (2.0 of those at home) and Real Sociedad manage 1.3 (0.0 on the road). Add it up and it's basically a coin-flip whether we see three or more, we make it 57%, so there's no strong lean either way on the goals line. Whether both teams score is a genuine coin-flip, and we make it 53%. Two or more goals at @1.14 is a steadier alternative for accas.
Both teams scoring is the pattern. It happens in 58% of Real Madrid's home games and 79% of Real Sociedad's away matches.
Real Sociedad travel here with relegation breathing down their neck. At 17th, they can't afford to drop many more points.
Real Madrid are all-out attack: 2.0 goals a game, but they leak 1.0 at the other end. They'll throw plenty at Real Sociedad, but there are gaps at the back for the visitors to get at.
In the last 10 meetings: Real Madrid have won 7, Real Sociedad 1, with 2 draws. These fixtures average 2.7 goals per game. 4 of the last 10 produced 3+ goals. Recent results: Real Madrid 4-1 Real Sociedad, Real Sociedad 1-2 Real Madrid, Real Madrid 2-0 Real Sociedad, Real Madrid 4-4 Real Sociedad.
Most likely scorelines: 2-1 (9%) and 3-1 (5%).
