Real Sociedad vs Atletico Madrid Predictions
Atletico face another difficult away assignment
Atletico Madrid have lost their last two away matches, going down 2-1 at Liverpool in the Champions League before a 3-0 defeat at Athletic Club.
The Liverpool performance offered little encouragement. Simeone’s side managed only nine attempts and produced an expected goals figure of 0.91 at Anfield.
Atletico finished fourth in La Liga last season after falling well behind Barcelona and Real Madrid. Morten Hjulmand, Kang-in Lee, Cristian Romero, Alejandro Grimaldo and Jonathan David were added over the summer, while Antoine Griezmann left the Metropolitano, but the early results have not been entirely convincing.
Real Sociedad have already beaten Elche and Espanyol this season. Their two defeats came against Betis and Real Madrid, giving their current results a tougher edge than the bare numbers might suggest.
Pellegrino Matarazzo’s side also had 16 shots and won eight corners in their latest home match, a 0-0 draw with Celta Vigo at the Reale Arena. With Atletico already beaten on their last two trips, I’m backing Real Sociedad Double Chance (Win or Draw) at 1.70.
Real Sociedad also beat Atletico on penalties in last season’s Copa del Rey final, another reminder that this fixture has not been straightforward for Simeone’s men.

Sociedad can punish Atletico’s recent defensive slide
Atletico Madrid have conceded eight goals across their last four matches, and each of those four games has produced over 2.5 goals.
Their two latest away defeats have also contained five goals in total. Liverpool beat Atletico 2-1 before Athletic Club followed with a 3-0 victory.
Real Sociedad provide the result side of the call through their wins over Elche and Espanyol, while the penalties success against Atletico in last season’s Copa del Rey final gives the hosts another positive reference from this matchup.
The 0-0 home draw with Celta Vigo is the obvious restraint, although Sociedad still produced 16 shots and eight corners in that game. Against an Atletico side that has conceded eight times in four outings, the 2-1 Real Sociedad scoreline could be worth a look at 11.00.
