Latest Real Sociedad vs Atletico Madrid football review
Real Sociedad’s start to the season has been disappointing, with just eight points from their first eight games and they are currently 14th, just three points above the relegation zone. Imanol Alguacil’s side have struggled to find the net, finding the net just six times in eight games, leaving them eight points adrift of fourth place. Despite an impressive 3-0 win over Valencia last time out, their confidence has taken a hit after a 2-1 defeat to Anderlecht in the Europa League.
Real Sociedad have only taken one point from their first two Europa League games, showing their lack of consistency this season. They have lost three consecutive La Liga games against Atletico Madrid, not winning against them in the Spanish top flight since September 2019. This will be a big test for the Basque side as they face an in-form Atletico Madrid side.
Atletico picked up a crucial point in the Madrid derby against Real Madrid but were shocked by a 4-0 defeat to Benfica in the Champions League. The defeat was their first of the season and they are all the more determined to bounce back this weekend. Atletico Madrid are currently fourth in La Liga with four wins and four draws, with 16 points, just two behind Real Madrid.
A win at the weekend would put Atletico in a good position heading into the international break. They beat Real Sociedad 2-0 in the corresponding fixture at the end of last season and have only lost once to them in La Liga since April 2018. Under Diego Simeone, Atletico will certainly want to bounce back from their Champions League defeat. With Real Sociedad having been inconsistent this season, we predict Atletico will win what will be a tight contest on Sunday evening.
