Atletico Madrid vs Real Sociedad Predictions

Real Sociedad have scored in 11 games in a row, and Saturday’s clash with Atletico Madrid at the Metropolitano is unlikely to be any different. Back over 2.5 goals in this one.

Atletico Madrid are third in the league, five places and 16 points above Real Sociedad. They have 15 wins from their 26 games this season, while the visitors have nine.

Atletico Madrid have enjoyed success in 16 of their last 19 home games in the Primera Liga, but their recent form has been inconsistent, with three wins, one draw and two defeats in their last six games. Real Sociedad won 1-0 over Mallorca in their last away game last weekend.

Atletico Madrid are having defensive problems. They have failed to keep a clean sheet in three of their last four Primera Liga games, and have gone without a shutout in eight of their last ten league matches against Real Sociedad.

There have been over 2.5 goals in six of Real Sociedad’s last eight Primera Liga matches, and 15 of their 26 games this season have produced over 2.5 goals. The league is averaging 2.7 goals a game overall.

Just three clubs have scored more goals than Atletico Madrid in the Primera Liga this term, and they have been particularly prolific at home, netting 30 times in 13 games. Real Sociedad are also in good form going forward, having found the net in 18 of their last 20 league games.

Atletico Madrid may be able to edge out Real Sociedad in a close game, with a 2-1 home win the correct-score pick. 21 of Real Sociedad’s 26 matches in the league this season have seen both teams score and seven of their nine defeats have come by the odd goal.
