Real Sociedad

DWLDLD

In their last game, Real Sociedad drew 0-0 in the La Liga tie with Athletic Bilbao.

In that game, Real Sociedad had 59% possession and 12 attempts on goal with 3 of them on target. For their opponents, Athletic Bilbao had 3 attempts on goal with 1 of them on target.

The stats tell the story, and Real Sociedad have been scored against in 5 of their last 6 matches, seeing opposing sides hit 10 goals in total. In defence, Real Sociedad just haven’t been too solid at all. It will be interesting to find out whether or not that trend can be sustained here.

Looking at the pre-match facts, Real Sociedad:

• have not emerged victorious against Atlético Madrid when they've played them away from home in the last 11 league games. A very poor set of away results, indeed.
• are without a win away from home in their last 2 league matches.

🗞️ Team News: Atlético Madrid

In our view, Atleti may well go for a 4-5-1 system for this one, beginning the first half with Jan Oblak, Marcos Llorente, Jose Gimenez, Robin Le Normand, Javi Galan, Giuliano Simeone, Rodrigo De Paul, Koke, Pablo Barrios, Samuel Dias Lino and Alexander Soerloth.

🗞️ Team News: Real Sociedad

Real Sociedad manager Imanol Alguacil has to choose from a squad that has some fitness concerns. Arsen Zakharyan (Muscle injury), Igor Zubeldia (Hamstring injury) and Álvaro Odriozola (Muscle injury) are those who can’t be considered.

We believe Txuri-urdin seem likely to elect for a 4-1-4-1 lineup using Alex Remiro, Hamari Traore, Jon Martin, Nayef Aguerd, Aihen Munoz, Martin Zubimendi, Takefusa Kubo, Brais Mendez, Pablo Marin, Sergio Gomez and Mikel Oyarzabal.

🧠 Prediction

Our feeling is that Real Sociedad should get enough chances to break down this Atlético Madrid lineup, but that isn’t expected to be enough to avoid defeat.

We reckon that it will be both teams to score in a 2-1 advantage for Atlético Madrid at the end of this one. Definitely a tough call.
