Atletico Madrid 1/2 to beat Real Sociedad in Saturday’s La Liga game

Competition: La Liga

Market: Atletico Madrid to beat Real Sociedad

Odds: 1/2 @ Bet365

Spain’s top league is back for another incredibly important weekend of games as the competition continues to heat up. The entire league table remains very tight, with one win able to catapult a team a number of places up and away from relegation, or towards a European place. With this in mind, Atletico Madrid host Real Sociedad on Saturday.

For Atletico Madrid, it has been an underwhelming season so far. After 13 games they have seven wins and six draws, while they are unbeaten, scoring 21 goals and conceding just six times. Of course, this is an impressive record, but they still find themselves in third, eight points short of Barcelona at the top. There is still plenty of time for Atleti to turn things around, but they must be careful as Barca do not look like dropping many points this season, meaning if they fall any further behind, it may become an insurmountable gap.

For Real Sociedad, it has been a very good season so far. Five wins, four draws and four defeats have seen them take 19 points and move into seventh in the league. Their points talls means they are 12 clear of Malaga in 18th, while they are only two points shy of Villarreal in the last European spot. Their primary objective will be to secure safety, but once they have done that, they will turn their attention to pushing as high up the table as they can and potentially taking a European spot. In Saturday’s game, we are backing the home side to win with odds of 1/2 from Bet365.
