The Atletico team will challenge the Real Sociedad team in a Spanish La Liga Matchday 9 in Cívitas Metropolitano Stadium, Madrid on Sunday, October 08, 2023. For streaming coverage of Atletico vs Real Sociedad, preview and how to watch it, see in this article.
Atletico will host Real Sociedad in Week 9 of La Liga on Sunday, October 8 2023, afternoon local time. This is a very interesting match between two teams who are at the peak of their form. Who will maintain the winning trend and get closer to Real Madrid at the top of the standings?
Atletico is one of the strongest teams in La Liga, especially when playing at home. They have never lost in the last 10 seasons when they host Sociedad in La Liga, with eight wins. They also have an impressive record of 13 consecutive wins in all competitions at the Wanda Metropolitano, including 12 wins in La Liga.
Diego Simeone’s team is in very good form after beating Real Madrid 3-1 in the Madrid derby last week. The win gave them a huge boost to achieve another two comeback wins against Porto in the Champions League and Levante in La Liga. They are now in 4th place in the La Liga standings with 16 points, only three points behind Real Madrid but still have one game in hand.
Atletico also leads Champions League group E with six points from two matches, four points ahead of Porto in second place. They have shown incredible offensive prowess by scoring 14 goals in their last four matches.
However, Atletico are also facing big problems with injuries. They lost many important players such as Jose Gimenez, Stefan Savic, Memphis Depay, Pablo Barrios, Thomas Lemar, Caglar Soyuncu and Reinildo. This could affect their defensive stability, which is usually their advantage.
On the other hand, Real Sociedad is also in very good form this season. They have achieved four consecutive wins in all competitions, including a 3-0 win over Bilbao in the Basque derby last week. They also beat RB Salzburg 2-0 in the Champions League in midweek, to take top spot in group D with four points from two games.
Imanol Alguacil’s team has an attractive and effective playing style, with a combination of wing play and long balls. However, Real Sociedad is also not free from injury problems. They had to play without Alvaro Odriozola, Kieran Tierney and Martin Merquelanz on Sunday due to injury. This can reduce the variety of their attacks, especially on the right side.
Apart from that, Real Sociedad is also not very convincing when playing away from home. They have won just one of their four away games this season, with two draws and one loss. They also haven’t won at home to Atletico Madrid since 2011.
Both teams seem to have their respective advantages and disadvantages. However, Atletico is expected to emerge victorious because they have home advantage and high motivation to catch Real Madrid.
