Atletico Madrid will be hoping to continue their excellent recent run of form in the league this weekend when they welcome Real Sociedad to the Spanish capital. Both of the sides come into the match chasing a fourth straight victory in La Liga.
La Liga Preview
Atletico Madrid have made a reliable start to the new season, and they have firmly put themselves into the title race this term. They come into this match sitting fourth in the standings, but they are just five points off the top of the standings. Atletico could close that gap with maximum points against Sociedad in front of their home fans on Sunday.
The confidence will be high around the team coming into the weekend, as they have picked up victories in each of their last three matches. Their home record has been particularly impressive, as they have won each of their last 12 in the Spanish capital. Victory this weekend would see them equal their second-best ever home run of 13 straight victories in front of their home fans.
Real Sociedad will likely also come into this match in good confidence, as they sit just a place and a point below Atletico in the current standings. A victory this weekend will see them go into the upcoming international break in the Champions League spot. They have also won each of their last three in La Liga.
It has been an excellent response from Sociedad, as they had won just two of their previous seven in the competition before the start of this winning run. In fact, this is Sociedad’s longest winning sequence since landing victories in five straight matches in January.
Atletico Madrid vs Real Sociedad Head to Head
Atletico have gone seven matches against Sociedad without suffering a defeat in the league, winning four matches over that period. Sociedad have struggled in away matches against Atletico, as they have failed to win in their previous ten visits, picking up just two points from a possible 30 available.
Atletico Madrid vs Real Sociedad Prediction
This is a standout match in La Liga this weekend, and both sides will be looking for a fourth straight victory in the competition. However, it could be challenging to overlook Atletico’s clear chances this weekend, as they have dominated the previous encounters between the sides in the Spanish capital.
