REAL SOCIEDAD – ATLETICO MADRID – Soccer Prediction –
After the overwhelming 5-0 victory against Girona, Real Sociedad scored another victory in last season’s round. It was from three consecutive victories in the first three league days that Real Sociedad did not get at least two wins in a row. He beat Las Palmas 1-0 in Gran Canaria, with a goal from Oyarzabal on the twentieth of the first half. He could have scored many more, and generally there was no game, although for Las Palmas it was probably the last chance to try to reach the first division.
It went badly – but in that case it was to be expected – also to the Levante, another team fighting for salvation, beaten 3-0 at the Wanda Metropolitano against Atletico Madrid. Simeone’s team is now projected towards the Europa League semi-final against Arsenals. He will play the first leg at Emirates Stadium next Thursday, but before then he will have to face the two league games against Real Sociedad, in the midweek round, and against Betis, next Sunday. Compared to the real possibility of winning the Europa League (trophy that the Atletico di Simeone won in the 2011-2012 season), to get ahead of or behind Real Madrid in the championship could also take second place.
At Atletico will play without the suspended Lucas Hernandez, and therefore without terzini apart Vrsaljko and Juanfran. The Brazilian Filipe Luis has been missing for several weeks, due to a serious and serious fracture of the fibula. Since Vrsaljko and Juanfran do not play on the left, it is not to be excluded that Simeone evaluates to move back Saul Niguez, who in the past has shown to be able to also occupy defense roles. Also striker Diego Costa will miss for the second time in a row, due to a muscular injury in his left leg.
It may not be a very simple game, for Atletico. Real Sociedad is in good shape and is playing well. Some problems could have it in the door. Geronimo Rulli, goalkeeper, is ready to return after an absence due to injury of almost two months. His first substitute, Moyà (former Atletico), injured the adductors. And the second reserve, Tono Ramirez, is not always very reliable.
