Real Sociedad aim to return to winning ways following a 1-1 draw with Levante, but given Atletico Madrid’s excellent form in December, we predict a 2-1 away win. The Basques do not seem to be at their sharpest, with the team winning only one of their last four La Liga games. La Real have been scoring 2.00 goals per game at home, but they are still seen as underdogs in Sunday’s clash due to their poor form. Adding to their woes, both Zubeldia and Gorrotxategi are banned for the match.
Los Rojiblancos, on the other hand, are on a four-game winning run in all competitions. Atletico Madrid are eager to keep their title hopes alive and we predict that they will go all guns blazing at La Real. The fact that Diego Simeone’s men have been scoring 1.83 goals per game on the road is surely giving fans a reason for optimism ahead of the trip to San Sebastian. With Nico Gonzalez limping off with injury in a 3-0 win over Girona, Conor Gallagher should sneak into the starting XI.
Atletico Madrid have defeated Real Sociedad in five of their last seven meetings in Primera Division. Given Atletico’s excellent form, Away Win markets boast big value, alongside Atletico Madrid Over 1.5 and Antoine Griezmann to Score.
This Primera Division match will be played on Sunday 4 January 2026 at 20:00.
