Here's another action-packed game in the La Liga. Real Sociedad is in the 8th place from participating in three fixtures. They receive Atlético Madrid who are placed 6th from three games.
Both teams should be fairly well rested for this game, as they have had some quiet days to prepare. Hopefully this will translate into lots of action on the pitch.

It's the second away game in a row for Atlético, but there's smiles all around after the 1-0 victory versus Valencia (placed 14th) last time out. World class coaching! That was the thoughts of manager Simeone when Griezmann scored the winning goal after coming on as a substitute in the 64th minute. Llorente, who plays in defense, got the "man of the match" on his team with the rating 7.4. Llorente hit two key passes and won 5 of 8 duels.
A 0-2 loss hosting Villarreal before that.After this away game Atlético Madrid return home for a Champions League game against Porto. That game is only four sleeps after this.
Atlético Madrid have the goal stats of 4-0 (for/against) from 2 business trips in the league at this early stage of the season.
