Atletico vs Real Sociedad prediction and betting tips on May 10, 2025
Game Prediction
On Matchday 35 of the Spanish La Liga, Atletico will host Real Sociedad on May 10, 2025. The visitors still have a chance to fight for eighth place, but only if they manage to win in Madrid.
Our Prediction for Atletico vs Real Sociedad
The capital giants did not have a disastrous, but rather a very unimpressive, previous season. In La Liga, they finished only fourth, below Girona. This prompted significant squad changes over the summer. In San Sebastian, this generation reached its peak when the team, finally returning to the Champions League, won their group, finishing ahead of Inter. However, they later lost in the playoffs and fell to sixth in La Liga.
Currently, the team is playing its last matches under Alguacil. It is clear that he will be relieved of his duties, albeit under a seemingly respectable pretext, due to an underwhelming season. There was a cup run, where Real Madrid secured victory in the semifinals thanks to an extra-time goal at the "Santiago Bernabeu." In the Europa League, they reached the quarterfinals, where they lost to Manchester United. However, their league position kept slipping and now they are merely hoping to grab eighth place. The recent 0-0 draw with Athletic marked their fourth game in a row without a win. Diego Simeone, by the way, also finished his Copa del Rey campaign in the semifinals, and, similarly, the outcome was decided by the opposition, Barcelona, scoring one more goal. Real only knocked out their city neighbors from the Champions League after a dramatic penalty shootout. Both teams have slipped behind familiar rivals in the league due to recent setbacks. Even against Alaves in the previous round, they failed to score, settling for a goalless draw.
Álvarez and his new teammates are scoring an average of 1.65 goals per game. Oblak and the defense remain reliably solid, conceding only 0.79 in return. Alguacil’s men have a negative goal ratio—0.94 scored to 1.09 conceded.
