Atletico Madrid vs Real Sociedad Predictions

• Sociedad have failed to score in three of their last four matches
• Atletico have scored exactly two goals in each of their last four home meetings with Sociedad
• Sociedad have lost eight of their 17 away matches in La Liga this season

Atleti set for routine home victory

Atletico Madrid look to be safely locked away in the La Liga Champions League places and with the pressure somewhat off they can secure a comfortable home win over Real Sociedad on Saturday.

As always, Atletico remain a stubborn bunch to break down and a 2-0 home win is our prediction for this contest.

Atleti were held to a 0-0 draw at Alaves last week, the second game in succession they have kept a clean sheet, and they could stand firm against Sociedad, too.

La Real are stumbling towards the finish line and start this round of matches in 11th spot and their chances of European qualification are still achievable but in the balance.

An all-but perfect end to the campaign is needed if they are to claim even just a Conference League spot for next term, but it looks a stretch with matches against Girona and Real Madrid following this tricky encounter.

A winless streak of four suggests Sociedad may come up short and it is hard to see them getting much out of an Atletico side who have scored exactly two goals in each of their last four home matches.

Real Sociedad have failed to score in three of their last four matches and Imanol Alguacil’s side look likely to leave the capital empty-handed, and 2-0 looks the best bet for correct-score punters.
