Team Analysis
Real Sociedad has been able to climb into European competition zones in recent years. Last season, in the 38-round league, they finished in 4th place with a record of 21 wins, 8 draws, and 9 losses, securing a spot in the Champions League. However, this season, their overall win rate appears to be slightly lower. Despite decent recent performances, with consecutive draws in the last two league matches after a 1-1 draw with Getafe in the previous round, Real Sociedad currently sits in 6th place on the points table with 13 wins, 12 draws, and 7 losses, already out of contention for the top four.

Although Real Madrid finished as runners-up in the league last season, the team has made a strong comeback this season. Firstly, in the league, they have laid a solid foundation for the title race. After a 3-2 victory over Barcelona in the last league match at home, they have dominated the league standings for the past 32 rounds with a record of 25 wins, 6 draws, and 1 loss, leading by 11 points. Additionally, in European competition, Real Madrid has performed well, reaching the Champions League semi-finals after eliminating the strong Manchester City last week.

Odds Analysis
This season, in the first leg encounter, Real Madrid defeated Real Sociedad 2-1 at home. Considering Real Sociedad's recent home performances, where they have only managed to win against Cadiz in their last 7 home matches, it is evident that Real Madrid has a good chance of winning. Referring to last season's odds where Real Madrid were in the underdog position away, setting a handicap of 0.25 for this match is sufficient. The data analysis seems to indicate that Real Madrid still needs to focus on preparing for the Champions League, which could affect fans' confidence. Additionally, checking the data shows that even with the upcoming European competition, Real Madrid has never relaxed in the league this season, further supporting the intentional suppression of odds. Therefore, Real Madrid's direction aligns with the representative answer.

Pick: Real Madrid
