Atletico Madrid is coming into this match playing in good form in their recent matches. They have won 3 of their last 5 matches and their defense has been good as they have not allowed a goal in their last 2 matches, but they have also been in much better form at home. When playing at home, they have won their last 2 straight as well as 4 of their last 6 matches there and both of their losses in that span were against Barcelona who currently lead the table. They did not allow a goal in their last match there and their attack has been much stronger in those as they have scored 7 goals total in their last 2 home matches. They are going up against a Real Sociedad side that has not been in good form in their recent matches. They have lost 2 of their last 4 matches and have no wins in that span. Their attack has been awful in these matches as well, scoring no goals in their last 2 as well as going scoreless in 3 of their last 4 matches. When playing away from home, they have not been losing that many matches, but their defense has been much worse in these as they have allowed at least 2 goals in 3 of their last 5 away matches, allowing 10 goals total in those 5 matches. Atletico Madrid does not have much left to play for, but they are still trying to secure their top 3 spot in the league so they will be fully focused on having a strong finish to the season. They have also won 2 of the last 3 meetings against Real Sociedad and with the way that defense has played away from home recently, they will not be able to keep Atletico out of their net here. Atletico Madrid will win this match at home and collect all 3 points here.
