The 2024-25 edition of LaLiga is back in action with another round of matches this weekend as Real Sociedad take on Diego Simeone's Atletico Madrid side in an important clash at the Estadio de Anoeta on Sunday. Both teams have been impressive this season and have a point to prove in this fixture.
Real Sociedad vs Atletico Madrid Preview
Atletico Madrid are in fourth place in the LaLiga standings and have stepped up to the plate this season. Los Colchoneros slumped to a 4-0 defeat at the hands of Benfica in the UEFA Champions League in their previous game and have a point to prove this weekend.
Real Sociedad, on the other hand, are in 16th place in the league table and have struggled this season. La Real suffered a 2-1 defeat against Anderlecht in the Europa League this week and will need to bounce back in this match.

Real Sociedad vs Atletico Madrid Prediction
Atletico Madrid have been in impressive form so far this season but were given a harsh reality check by Benfica this week. Diego Simeone's charges were defensively poor in their European clash and will need to present a robust front in this fixture.
Real Sociedad have been uncharacteristically poor this season and have a mountain to climb in the coming months. Atletico Madrid are the better team and should be able to win this game.
