Real Sociedad v Atlético, live, team news and key stats | OneFootball

Live coverage of Real Sociedad v Atlético Madrid in LaLiga EA Sports, matchday five. Atlético aim to arrest their slide a week before the derby after back-to-back away losses at San Mamés and Anfield, while La Real target a second home victory.

The club confirmed the absence of the Argentine Julián with a muscle contracture after he left Saturday’s training early.

Real Sociedad have not won any of their last 13 LaLiga meetings with Atlético, five draws and eight defeats, since a 2-0 victory in September 2019. Another blank today could set their longest winless run against them in the competition.

Atlético have taken points from each of their last six league visits to Anoeta, three wins and three draws. They have never done so in seven consecutive away games against La Real in LaLiga.

The Real head coach believes his side can beat Atlético and says the team must keep building their style of play. His Atlético counterpart accepts there is room for improvement in defence and wants consistency over the full 90 minutes.
