Historical Statistical Verdict

Taken together, the historical record and current-season form suggest a finely balanced encounter. The head-to-head shows 1 win each and 3 draws from the last 5 meetings, with Atletico Madrid holding a 10-6 edge in total goals, driven largely by their 4-0 home win in May 2025 and generally stronger attacking output. However, all three matches at Real Sociedad’s ground in this sample have ended level, underlining how difficult it has been for Atletico Madrid to convert performances into victories in San Sebastian.

Season to date, Atletico Madrid have been marginally more efficient in both attack and defence, but Real Sociedad’s solid home numbers and their penalty shootout triumph in the Copa del Rey Final provide confidence that they can compete on equal terms. The Real Sociedad vs Atletico Madrid stats therefore point towards a closely contested fixture, with a slight offensive edge for Atletico balanced by Real Sociedad’s resilience at home and a history of stalemates at Anoeta.
