Real Sociedad vs Atletico Madrid Prediction: Basques won't lose

One of the central matches of the 38th round of the Spanish La Liga will be between Real Sociedad and Atlético Atlético. Check the team conditions and choose several betting options.

At the beginning of May, especially after the 1:2 defeat to Levante, it seemed that Real Sociedad would miss out on the Europa League. However, they managed to pull themselves together, first beating Cadiz 3:0 and then Villarreal, their main rival. In the final round of La Liga, Real Sociedad is currently sitting in sixth place. Even if they catch up with Betis, they won't be able to overtake them because of their worst record in head-to-head encounters. Real Sociedad has the sixth-best home record in the division, +10=5-3, 15-7 goal difference.

Since the defeat in Bilbao, Atletico has played three games in La Liga: a 1:0 home win over Real Madrid, a 2:0 away win over Elche, and a 1:1 draw with Sevilla. All of Atletico's games in this period were draws. Atletico can still lose third place, but they will certainly not drop to fourth place, which means they will represent Spain in the 2022/23 Champions League. Atletico's away statistics is fifth in the division, +8=3-7, 30:26 goal difference.

Home side Real Sociedad is a low-scoring team, with only 22 goals scored in 18 games at the San Sebastian Stadium (1.22 goals per game). Atletico has also become a low-scoring team toward the end of the season. So we don't expect a lot of goals scored from the upcoming game. As for the outcome, we favor the home side, the Basques rarely lose on their home field, plus they have experience of home victories over Atletico this season.
