In the semi-final of the Spanish Cup, we have an exciting match between the two “Reals” — Real Madrid vs Real Sociedad. The game is set for Tuesday, April 1, at 21:30 Central European Time. I’m offering a bet on the winner of this match.
Match Preview
Real Madrid is entering a crucial stage of the season, competing in three major tournaments. The team is close to reaching another Spanish Cup final and will face Arsenal in the Champions League.
Over the weekend, Los Blancos had a tough time at home but managed to edge past Leganes. Despite trailing during the match, Ancelotti’s side found a way to secure the win with a brace from Mbappé and a goal from Bellingham. This victory allowed them to maintain their three-point deficit behind Barcelona in the league.
Real Sociedad, on the other hand, is surprisingly low in the La Liga standings, sitting in 10th place. Their hopes of qualifying for European competitions are fading with each passing round, but they can still achieve their goals by winning the Copa del Rey — though they lost the first leg in Madrid.

Head-to-Head
Sociedad hasn’t won in Madrid in the last five years.
Prediction
While Sociedad will surely put up a fight, their chances of advancing to the final appear slim. Real Madrid’s strength, especially at home, gives them the upper hand. However, I’m betting on Sociedad with a +2 goal handicap, considering they might be able to keep things close.
