Atletico Madrid have a big game here as they try to put behind them the loss to Dortmund, theough there is no shame in falling to the German giants, who are having a great season and went to the game on six straight wins and are unbeaten in the season. Back at home, Atletico have lost just once in the nine league matches and will be looking to make up for the loss with a fifth win of the season in La Liga against a Real Sociedad side on three wins so far in the campaign. Atletico are known for their defensive mettle but that too has somehow been deserting them in recent times, with the team securing just one clean sheet in the last four matches though in La Liga they are the best defensive side, having conceded five in the nine matches played. They are one of the three sides with just one loss in the season and this is a game they will look to with good hope. Interestingly though, Sociedad have scored two more goals than them (12) but the visitors have been very poor defensively and head to this clash having shipped in 11 goals. Atletico will be glad to play at home, where they have not lost any of their five games this season in all competitions, winning four and drawing one. They have three clean sheets and are unbeaten in the four league games at home so far and they have lost just once in the last 15 home league matches, winning 10. In the 15 league games at home, they have secured 11 clean sheets. They meet a Sociedad side with three wins in their last five away league matches but in the last 15, Sociedad have managed just four wins and lost eight, with only four clean sheets in the process. Sociedad beat Atletico 3 – 0 in their last meeting, making it two wins in four against Atletico but the hosts have dominated this clash in the long turn, with six wins in the last eight.
