The final game to be played in La Liga on Sunday the 24th of October is between Atlético Madrid and Real Sociedad at the Estadio Wanda Metropolitano.

The hosts begin the weekend in 4th place on 17 points while the visitors are top of the table on 20 points, having played one additional match.

Atlético Madrid come into the match on the back of a 3-2 defeat at home in the Champions League against Liverpool.

It was an exciting game to watch and Atlético Madrid will believe they should have taken something from the game despite making a shocking start which saw them 2-0 down. Atlético Madrid pulled it back to 2-2 but having been reduced to 10 men, they conceded a penalty in the 78th minute.

That was the first defeat in 3 matches in all competitions for Atlético Madrid, having previously beaten AC Milan 2-1 away from home in the Champions League and Barcelona 2-0 at home in La Liga.

Form in La Liga shows Atlético Madrid are undefeated in 12 of their last 13 league fixtures. In their 54 most recent matches of all competitions, Atlético Madrid have been undefeated 45 times and  they are on a run of 11 home La Liga matches without defeat.

Trends show Atlético Madrid have seen under 2.5 goals in 3 of their last 4 home games in the league.

Real Sociedad make the trip to the Estadio Wanda Metropolitano having come away with a 1-0 victory against Sturm Graz in the Europa League on Thursday night. The only goal of the match came in the 68th minute and that victory means Real Sociedad are undefeated in their last 11 matches in all competitions this season.

Real Sociedad have made a great start to the 2021/22 La Liga season and are undefeated in their last 8 games. Last weekend they recorded a narrow 1-0 victory at home against Real Mallorca and they are undefeated in each of their last 3 away league fixtures.

Trends show at least one goal has been scored by Real Sociedad in all of their last 8 away matches in all competitions. However, they have managed to keep just one clean sheet from their 4 away La Liga games this season and have conceded 7 goals across those 4 matches.

Looking ahead to the team news and Atlético Madrid are expected to be without Marcos Llorente who has a muscle problem. Luis Suárez and Jose Giménez will be hoping to start having been on the bench in the Champions League on Tuesday night.

Real Sociedad are without the suspended Aihen Muñoz. They also have a few injury problems with Mikel Oyarzabal, Alex Sola, Diego Rico Salguero, and Nacho Monreal struggling to make the game.

This is going to be a tough game for both teams and we expect it to be tight, with under 2.5 goals scored. However, both sides are capable of conceding goals and this one could end level, with 1-1 a possible correct score.
