  May 10, 2025   Atlético de Madrid - Real Sociedad   Estadio Metropolitano, Madrid, Spain On Saturday, May 10, 2025, Atlético Madrid will face Real Sociedad in Spanish LaLiga. The Madrid side enters the match as a clear favorite, while the visitors from San Sebastián are struggling with a results crisis. Atlético de Madrid have not lost any of their last 10 LaLiga matches against Real Sociedad (6 wins, 4 draws), since a 0-2 defeat in September 2019.

They haven't lost any of their last three LaLiga matches (2 wins, 1 draw), winning the last two, while previously they had lost six of e...

THE CURSE OF THE GOALLESS STREAK: CAN OYARZABAL FINALLY BREAK HIS BAD LUCK AGAINST THE WORST DEFENDING TEAM OF THE CENTURY? Real Sociedad - Real Valladolid March 29th, 2025 Real Sociedad has failed to win any of their last three matches against Real Valladolid in LaLiga (1 draw, 2 losses) and has not managed to score in all three duels.

They have won two of their last three trips to this region (1 loss), which is the same number of wins as in their previous 20 away matches against Basque...
