Real Sociedad vs Atl. Madrid Prediction & Betting tips
On Tuesday evening there is a real top match in LaLiga, when former list leader Real Sociedad takes on the current leader Atletico Madrid in their own Anoeta. The home club must win to get back into the Spanish title fight, although the visitors from the capital are virtually unbeatable this season.
Real Sociedad:
Real Sociedad had a fantastic start to the season and even took the lead in LaLiga for quite some time, but in recent weeks there has been sand in the Basque football engine. The club from San Sebastian has already been unable to win eight games in a row in all competitions, with the 2-1 defeat at Levante last weekend as the most recent slip. With a provisional third place, the blue and white are still doing very well, but the men of trainer Imanol Alguacil now have to be careful that they do not end up in a free fall.
Alguacil will therefore have to find a way to turn the tide, although the coach does not seem too concerned about the disappointing results of recent times: “Also in the games that we do not win, we are usually the parent party.” All well and good, but especially in these kind of difficult times you need key players who take the team by the hand. In that regard, the coach will be delighted to see Mikel Oyarzabal and David Silva return to the training ground. However, it is still unclear whether they will kick off on Tuesday evening.
Atletico Madrid:
Atletico Madrid is currently in the eyes of the bookmakers the favorite for the Spanish national title. The red and white are in the lead together with neighbor Real Madrid with 29 points, but still have two league matches. The men of Diego Simeone are therefore working on a very strong season, although the 2-0 defeat in the city derby against Real Madrid was hard. Atletico Madrid recovered well last weekend with a problem-free 3-1 victory over Elche.
Atletico Madrid can therefore confidently travel to San Sebastian, although Real Sociedad has been a real fear of Los Colchoneros in recent years. In only one of the last four encounters in Anoeta, the visitors managed to escape with the full loot. In addition, Joao Felix is a big question mark for Tuesday evening. If the Portuguese prodigy loses the race against time, Thomas Lemar will probably be taken off, although Diego Costa is also an option for Simeone.
