Latest football match prediction: Real Sociedad vs Atletico Madrid

Real Sociedad's start to the season has been disappointing, with only eight points from their first eight matches, placing them 14th and just three points above the relegation zone. Imanol Alguacil's side have struggled to score, finding the net six times in eight games, and are eight points behind fourth place. Despite an impressive 3-0 win against Valencia in the previous round, their confidence has been dampened by a 1-2 defeat to Anderlecht in the Europa League.

Real Sociedad have only earned one point from their first two Europa League matches, highlighting their inconsistency this season. They have lost three consecutive La Liga games against Atletico Madrid, and haven't beaten them in the Spanish top flight since September 2019. Their upcoming match will be a major challenge for the Basque side as they face a high-flying Atletico Madrid.

Atletico Madrid just earned a crucial point in the Madrid derby against Real Madrid but suffered a shock 0-4 defeat to Benfica in the Champions League. This loss was their first of the season, making them even more determined to bounce back this weekend. Atletico Madrid currently sit fourth in La Liga with four wins and four draws, accumulating 16 points and trailing Real Madrid by just two points.

A win this weekend would put Atletico in a good position before the international break. They beat Real Sociedad 2-0 in their respective matches late last season and have only lost to them in La Liga since April 2018. Under Diego Simeone, Atletico will certainly want a strong response after their Champions League defeat. With Real Sociedad inconsistent this season, we predict Atletico will win a close match on Sunday night.
