Today Real Madrid is going to face their opponent team Real Sociedad in the semi-finals of the Copa del Rey. In today's first leg match, there will definitely be a lot of excitement between the two teams and whoever wins the match today will be ahead. In that case, according to the odds of today's match, Real Madrid has the highest chance of winning, moreover, their current game situation has changed a lot. If Real Madrid can play with their best performance today, then they will definitely be ahead in goals after winning the first leg of their semi-final.
Real Madrid in this match is certainly very favored to win because they have always won in the last three meetings against Real Sociedad. Even in the last 10 meetings, Real Madrid won six times, drew twice, and only lost once to Real Sociedad. In terms of head to head and player quality, Real Madrid could actually win easily over Real Sociedad.
However, what is in control, after seeing Ancelotti rotate players in this match with the line-up of players that will be fielded, makes it difficult for them to win. The reason is that in this match Rodrygo and Mbappe are rested, Ancelotti will play Endrick and Arda. Even though Mbappe is on fire, Ancelotti prefers to rest the players, maybe this is to maintain the fitness of the players because they will face tough matches in La Liga and the Champions League.
Who knows if Ancelotti thinks the Copa del Rey trophy is not that important? considering the line-up of players played is not a full squad, and reportedly in this match Vini will be the team captain. However, I hope Real Madrid can achieve a positive result in the first leg duel at the Reale Arena because if Madrid qualifies for the final, it will certainly be an ideal final just waiting for Barcelona or Atletico Madrid.
