Atletico Madrid vs Real Sociedad Preview, prediction, lineups, betting tips & odds | LaLiga 2024-25

The previous encounter between these teams ended in a draw.

Atletico Madrid are all set to host Real Sociedad in the match week 35 of the LaLiga 2024-25 edition. The Spanish league fixture between the two sides will take place at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano Stadium.

Atletico de Madrid did have a chance to win the LaLiga title before, but they let it go as they dropped a few points here and there. Diego Simeone’s men are in third place on the points table and are most likely to secure the UCL spot next season. This time around, Atleti will be facing Sociedad at home, which will be a big advantage for them.
