Real Sociedad haven't made a great start to the 2024-25 season, having recorded just two wins from their first ten games in all competitions. Both the victories came in the La Liga, with the latest success registered against Valencia last weekend. Takefusa Kubo's early opener and Orri Oskarsson's late double helped the White and Blues take their tally to eight points from as many games in the league.
The Basgue outfit has struggled to find the back of the net this season, scoring only goals from eight outings in the La Liga. Meanwhile, when it comes to the Europa League, Imanol Alguacil's side have only one point to show from two games. On Thursday night, Real Sociedad lost out to Anderlecht at home despite taking the lead through Pablo Marin's fifth-minute opener.
Atletico Madrid on the other hand, are unbeaten in the La Liga this season, having recorded four wins and as many defeats from eight games. Diego Simeone's side came from behind to secure a thrilling 1-1 league-draw against Real Madrid last weekend. However, Los Colchoneros suffered a humiliating Champions League defeat away to Benfica in the mid-week. The loss was their first in any competition this season.
Atletico have now recorded one win and a loss from two European games. Meanwhile, when it comes to the La Liga, they are sitting at the fourth position, with 16 points to their name, five adrift of the leaders.
