Atletico Madrid are bidding for a fourth consecutive La Liga victory when they clash with Real Sociedad this weekend. It all started with a 3-1 win over arch-rivals Real Madrid, with the team then claiming a 2-0 win at Osasuna before overcoming Cadiz by a 3-2 scoreline. They are now firm favourites to overcome Sociedad.
Angel Correa was at the double in the most recent La Liga clash and Antoine Griezmann has regularly been finding the net, with the Frenchman having scored in two of his previous three league encounters. Atletico are likely to have a tough time of trying to break down a Sociedad side who are renowned for keeping things tight on the road.
Indeed, it has been three consecutive clean sheets for this well-drilled team who landed a 1-0 victory away to Real Sociedad, with the team following this win up with a 3-0 success over Athletic Bilbao. There was then a 2-0 Champions League success at RB Salzburg, with the visitors limiting their Austrian opponents to just one shot on target.
The football betting sites think this could be a low-scoring encounter and that is reflected in the short betting odds when it comes to Under 2.5 Goals. If there is to be an Atletico Madrid win, then perhaps it will be achieved by a 1-0 scoreline and perhaps there is also a case for the game being level at half-time before Atleti land a victory.
