Atletico Madrid are back in action with another important La Liga fixture this weekend as they take on Real Sociedad on Saturday. Both teams can pack a punch on their day and have a point to prove in this fixture.
Real Sociedad are currently in eighth place in the La Liga standings and are yet to hit their stride in the competition. The Basque outfit edged Elche to an important 1-0 victory last week and will look to achieve a similar result in this match.
Atletico Madrid, on the other hand, are in sixth place in the league table at the moment and have been inconsistent so far. Los Colchoneros defeated Valencia by a narrow 1-0 scoreline in their previous game and will need to take it up a notch this weekend.
