Football Results

Both teams played European competitions this season, but Real Sociedad was eliminated in the sixteenth finals of Europa League in which Atletico still plays but after elimination from the Champions League. When the championship is concerned, Atletico is much better since they are in second place on the table and want to stay there without defeat in the previous three rounds, while Real Sociedad failed in the championship and they are in the lower part of the table with minimal prospects to qualify in Europa League despite the fact that they celebrated in the previous two games. In the first part of the season Atletico celebrated with 2-1 after turnover

Real Sociedad

Real Sociedad Still another theoretical chance for placement in the European league, but it is far more realistic that they will fail because of the backlog and two difficult away matches by the end of the season, against Seville and Barcelona. This match will be very tough and they are under the imperative of victory over the second-ranked team in the league. They have replaced coaches this season, and Eusebio was dismissed after that defeat by Getafe after they took the lead.

If they knew what would happen after Eusebia’s departure, they would have probably done it sooner, given that they played three matches without defeat with Alguacil on the bench and without receiving any goals. It all started with a draw against Eibar away, then they mastered Girona with 5-0, while they celebrated against Las Palmas with 1-0 in the last round. They are having the most problems with the injuries of goalkeeper Rulli and Moya, so Tono will be among the goalposts, while Xabi Prieto is out of action.

Probable lineups Real Sociedad: Tono – Elustondo, D.Llorente, Raul Navas, Rodrigues – Illarramendi, Zurutuza – Januzaj, Canales, Oyarzabal – Willian

Atletico Madrid

Atletico continues the fight on two fronts, but that means more matches, so they are one of the teams that are already playing two matches each week. They managed to reach the semi-finals in Europa league after eliminating Sporting, in their own way. They defeated them with 2-0 in Madrid and then kept this advantage in rematch, but there was no panic after they had received a goal in the first half. They were defeated with 1-0, with the proviso that striker Griezmann missed a lot of opportunities in the second half.

After that game they routinely defeated Levante in the last round, with some changes in the team, which was logical because a huge number of games. The injured D.Costa was absent, and he is also questionable for this match, and F.Torres will probably be at the top of the attack with Griezmann. They also have a problem on the left back, given that Filipe Luis is injured and L.Hernandez is suspended. That is why Vrsaljko goes from right to left back, while Thomas and Gabi jump in the midfield.

Probable lineups Atletico Madrid: Oblak – Juanfran, Godin, Savic, Vrsaljko – Thomas, Koke, Gabi, Saul Niguez – F.Torres, Griezmann

Verdict:

Real Sociedad is playing very well after a change of coaches and they hope they can do something against the favoured Atletico. The guests are tired and this is their problem, so defence of this team may still back down.

Pick: both teams to score 1.95 - 95/100 @1XBet
