We would have the LaLiga title fight under the spotlight this Wednesday as Atletico Madrid look to get back to winning ways in their matchup against Real Sociedad. Read on for our expert tips and predictions.

Goals in the second half from Llorente and Hermoso sealed the three points for the Madrid-based side back in December. They probably would need to do the double over the Basque side if they’re still to lead the way heading into the final two games of the season.

Sociedad keen on crushing Simeone’s title hopes

Atletico Madrid remains at the top of the LaLiga standings following a goalless draw against fellow title challengers Barcelona at the Camp Nou. Real Madrid was also held by Sevilla on Sunday night for the Rojiblancos to still lead the way at the top of the standings. There would certainly be nervy moments from these points onward with three wins from three games being the only way they would seal the league title.

Real Sociedad, on the other hand, doesn’t have anything to play for other than the pride of not being beaten twice by the same club in the same season. They’re currently in 5th place with a place in the Europa League all but sealed. They travel to Madrid in quite a decent form, winning three of their last four league matches including a comfortable 3-0 victory against Elche last time out.

Atletico Madrid vs Real Sociedad Prediction: 1-0

Simeone and his troops have quite the home record in the league, winning thirteen of the 17 games played at the Wanda Metropolitano and losing only once. Although they have been shaky in recent weeks, they certainly dominated Barcelona and could have gone a few goals up in the first half which would have settled the race for the league title. As such, we would lean towards Simeone’s troops to pick up a hard-fought victory.
