A place in the Champions League next season is more or less assured for Atletico Madrid, and the most they can fight for at the moment is a second placed finish; that will be guiding their ambitions when they head to the match against Real Sociedad on Thursday 19th April. Sociedad are two points outside the top half and while they will be hoping to rise, they also have a chance at vying for a Europa League slot. They head to this game on two straight wins and will hope they continue the same way in this game. In their last five home matches Sociedad have picked three wins, a loss and a draw and scored 13 goals in the process, conceding five. They have four losses in 10 matches and five clean sheets in the last 10 games. Sociedad have been prolific at home, scoring in nine of the last 10 matches and and winning four of their last five in La Liga at home. Atletico on the other hand, have failed to win their last three away matches in the league, dropping points against teams in the top six but they should have an easier time against Sociedad, a team they have beaten in six of the last seven meetings. Atletico go to the game on three wins, a loss and a draw. They have managed just one away win in the last five, losing three and drawing one, and in the process scoring seven goals but conceding six. They will however be banking on their extensively good form, having won 14 of the last 18 matches and will need an improvement defensively, having managed five clean sheets in 10 matches. Atletico have lost four of their last 10 away matches. Head to head, the two sides have met 40 times and Atletico have managed 18 wins while Real Sociedad have 15 wins.
