Our Predictions
Atletico is strong at home, only conceding 14 goals at the Wanda Metropolitano. Sociedad's away form is decent but not prolific. Expect a tight, low-scoring game, possibly a 1-0 or 2-0 win for Atletico.
Both teams have shown resilience lately—Atleti with a few draws and Sociedad capable of scoring. A draw could be 1-1 or 2-2, especially if Sociedad presses high and opens space—hence, both score and over 2.5 goals.
While the odds favor Atletico, Sociedad has the attacking firepower to cause trouble, especially on the break. Both teams scoring and a high-scoring game (2-2 or 1-3) isn't impossible, especially if Sociedad seeks to upset the odds.
Atleti’s home defense is tight, and they tend to score in bunches. Considering Sociedad's occasional defensive lapses, a game with goals from both sides is plausible, but the home win is the safer bet.
Given Atletico’s solid home record and Sociedad’s mid-table resilience, a cautious approach could see a scoreless or 1-1 draw. Both teams to score might not happen, so under 2.5 is likely here.
Welcome to Extratips, where today we've got a real eye-catcher: Atletico Madrid polished off Real Sociedad 4-0 in a La Liga clash that went pretty much to plan — at least the betting “predictable” part. Key moments? First, Sørloth's quick-fire hat-trick inside the first four minutes set the tone. His performance was a masterclass in poaching, making defenders look slow and sleepy. Next, the team’s tactical setup? Atlético's boss, Simeone, played it smart — a tight, aggressive approach that kept Sociedad on the ropes. Pre-match predictions leaned toward a low-scoring thrill, perhaps a 1-0 or 2-0 for the home team, with plenty of bets on under 2.5 goals. Yet, Sørloth smashed through those expectations with his blistering start, defying odds and turning a predicted close contest into a one-sided affair. Historically, Atlético’s home strength held firm, and Sociedad's recent away struggles continued. This result bumps Atletico closer to the top, while Sociedad faces questions about their consistency. Major talking points? The killer instinct of Atlético’s frontman and Sociedad’s inability to respond early. So, while predictions favored a tight, modest game, this was a reminder that in football, anything can happen — especially when a player is in red-hot scoring form.
