Real Sociedad had two difficult visits to start the season, losing to Betis and Real Madrid. They then began to earn points. They defeated Espanyol 2:1 at home, earned a point from their visit to Celta, and in their last match won 3:2 away against Elche. Real Sociedad has definitely shown progress in the second half of last season after the arrival of Pellegrino Matarazzo, who also led the team to win the cup in a dramatic final against Atletico Madrid.
Atletico was quickly brought down to earthAtletico Madrid has played five matches across all competitions this new season. However, it seems to me that they have not improved much from last season. With their current performance, they cannot catch up with the leaders Real and Barcelona, even though they know how to win against them. They need to win matches like the last round, when they suffered their first loss of the season, falling 0:3 in their visit to Athletic Bilbao. Before that, they won away against Sevilla 3:1, but the lack of consistency in away games is a problem that has persisted for quite some time. Now they face another difficult visit to the other Basque team in the top league.
Prediction: both teams to score, double chance 1XReal Sociedad is showing good performances again and can create problems for Atletico at home. The " Mattress Makers" are not very consistent in their away games, and this one is expected to be among the more difficult. Defensively, they are also not up to the required standard, and my view for this match is that there will be goals at both ends and a maximum of one point for Atletico.
