Atletico Madrid vs Real Sociedad Predictions

• Atletico Madrid have won four games in a row despite defensive injury concerns
• Atleti have won their last two games by a 3-2 scoreline
• Real Sociedad are without an away win against Atleti since March 2013

Depleted Atleti should have enough in reserve

Atletico Madrid are on a four-match winning streak across all competitions, an impressive run especially when you consider they have mounting injury concerns in defence, with the likes of Jose Gimenez, Stefan Savic and Caglar Soyuncu all currently sidelined.

Those defensive vulnerabilities have shown, with Atleti having only kept one clean sheet in six across all competitions, but they do keep winning, collecting 3-2 successes over Cadiz in La Liga and Feyenoord in the Champions League over the last week.

A hat-trick of 3-2 victories on Sunday is far from out of the question for this more expansive Atleti side.

Sociedad also in form

Like Atleti, Sociedad have won four matches on the spin, culminating in their midweek Champions League success over Salzburg, while they have scored in nine of their 10 competitive games this season, including in their sole defeat away to Real Madrid.

It could be a repeat outcome for Imanol Alguacil’s side when they head back to the Spanish capital to take on Atleti, as despite their good form they have a poor record away to Diego Simeone’s team, with their last away win in this fixture coming in March 2013.

Sociedad can contribute to a high-scoring game, but they could be set for just a second defeat of the season.
