Atletico Madrid vs Real Sociedad Predictions

• Atletico Madrid have won just one of their last five home games in all competitions (D3, L1).
• Real Sociedad are unbeaten in their last 11 matches across all competitions, winning seven.
• The league leaders have amassed 20 points from a possible 24 since losing at Barcelona on the opening day.

Atleti far from firing at home

Leaders Real Sociedad face a formidable task this weekend against an Atletico Madrid side that have lost just one of their last 34 home games, though we think Imanol Alguacil’s charges are capable of snatching a result at Wanda Metropolitano.

Wanda undoubtedly remains the hardest venue to visit in La Liga, but Los Colchoneros have now won just one of their last five outings in all competitions here (D3, L1) and Diego Simeone’s side could be left a little flat after their taxing 3-2 UEFA Champions League defeat to Liverpool in the capital on Tuesday evening.

The 8/13 about a home victory this Sunday night certainly looks on the short side and that’s before we fully factor in how impressive Real Sociedad have been so far this season.

Leaders to prove their worth at Wanda

Since their opening day defeat at Barcelona, Los Txuri-Urdin have gone 11 games unbeaten in all competitions, winning seven, and they’ve amassed 20 points from a possible 24 domestically to surge to the top of the table.

This weekend’s trip to Wanda unquestionable marks Sociedad’s biggest test yet, but they’re an efficient, granite tough outfit which boast a superb defence that’s already maintained six La Liga clean sheets this term.

At around the 5/4 mark, we’re confidently behind the Basque side in the double chance market for this key Matchday 10 clash, and we’re also tempted to chance a rare home league defeat being inflicted upon Atleti via a 1-0 score-line.
