Diego Simeone comes in off a dour 0-0 at Alavés. The game underlined a recurring away-day bluntness but also stretched Atleti’s unbeaten run to three.
The positives are the 3-0 demolition of Rayo Vallecano six days earlier and the response to the 1-0 loss in Las Palmas a week before that. The flank players overwhelmed Rayo’s narrow press.
Atletico Madrid continue to prioritize defensive organization, often deploying a 4-4-2 formation that emphasizes compactness. In their recent matches, the team have shown good play at the back, with Jan Oblak securing consecutive clean sheets.
However, in attack, they’ve struggled to create clear-cut chances, relying heavily on individual brilliance from players like Julian Álvarez and Antoine Griezmann.
The midfield duo of Koke and De Paul provides stability, but there’s a noticeable lack of creativity. This has led to difficulties in breaking down well-organized defenses. Set-pieces remain a potential avenue for goals, given the aerial prowess of their central defenders.
In terms of fitness, Rodrigo Riquelme remains sidelined due to an injury. Julián Álvarez, the team’s top scorer with 15 goals, will not help his squad because of a disciplinary suspension.
Atletico Madrid predicted lineup vs Real Sociedad (4-4-2): Oblak; Llorente, Gimenez, Lenglet, Galan; Simeone, De Paul, Barrios, Gallagher; Sørloth, Griezmann.
Real Sociedad’s own derby on Sunday ended 0-0 against Athletic. Although they completed 505 passes to their rival’s 353, they registered only 0.92 xG. This exposed recurring problems converting neat central combinations into penalty-box touches.
Earlier, they lost 0-1 away to Alaves, with a collective failure to defend long diagonals. Before that came a 2-2 draw in Estadio de la Ceramica against Villareal in which Mikel Oyarzabal salvaged a point after two lapses defending the half-spaces.
Real Sociedad typically employ a 4-3-3 formation that focuses on possession-based football and fluid attacking movements. However, in recent events, they’ve suffered from a lack of cutting edge in the final third. The team scored only two goals in their last four matches.
The midfield trio of Zubimendi, Pablo Marín, and Brais Méndez offers technical quality and control, but the absence of injured attackers has limited their options. Defensively, they remain solid, with Nayef Aguerd and Jon Martin forming a reliable central partnership.
The team faces several injury concerns: Igor Zubeldia, Álvaro Odriozola, Arsen Zakharyan, and Orri Oskarsson are all expected to miss Saturday’s match.
Real Sociedad predicted lineup vs Atletico Madrid (4-5-1): Remiro; Aramburu, Aguerd, Martin, J Lopez; Kubo, Mendez, Zubimendi, Marin, S Gomez; Oyarzabal.
Bet hereAtletico Madrid continue to emphasize defensive solidity. Their recent matches have often been low-scoring, with the team conceding few goals. They will be without their top scorer, Julián Álvarez, who is suspended due to an accumulation of yellow cards, which may limit their attacking threat.
Real Sociedad also struggled offensively in recent encounters. They failed to score in several games, including a 0-0 draw in the Basque derby against Athletic Club. Injuries to key players further weaken their attacking options.
Considering these factors, it’s a good option that at least one team will fail to score in this meeting.
Taking into account both teams’ recent struggles in front of the goal and their strong defensive records, a low-scoring affair is anticipated. Atletico Madrid’s home advantage and slightly superior attacking options may give them an edge in a closely contested match.
