Real Madrid are looking for a win this Tuesday that will keep them in good momentum for the Copa del Rey final against Osasuna and the draw against Manchester City in the UEFA Champions League semi-finals.
The white team does not want to repeat the poor performance of a week ago in Montilivi and, despite arriving without Modric, Benzema, Camavinga, Alaba, Mendy and Vinicius, hopes to play a serious game in San Sebastián. Ancelotti is expected to give minutes to some well-travelled homegrown players such as Dotor, Nico Paz, Arribas and Álvaro.
For its part, Real Sociedad wants to continue the good moment it is going through and get a prestigious victory that will bring them a little bit closer to that dream of playing in the Champions League again. The team of Imanol Alguacil is fourth with five points ahead of Villarreal.
