Two of the last five fixtures between these clubs ended on level terms.

Atletico Madrid are now going to take on Real Sociedad for their matchweek 27 contest of the 2025-26 LaLiga. This will be an entertaining outing between these sides, taking place at the Riyadh Air Metropolitano.

The Diego Simeone-led side have qualified for the Copa del Rey final after Barcelona failed to make a comeback in the second leg of the semi-final. They have performed well in their last two league games and will be looking to extend their winning run. Atletico de Madrid are in third place on the league table.

Real Sociedad will be looking to put up a strong fight against the hosts. Having won nine of their 26 games, they are in eighth place on the LaLiga points table at the moment. Txuri-Urdin are coming in after securing a win against Athletic Club, sealing a spot in the Spanish Cup final. They will be away from home and it might create some issues for them.

Players to Watch

Alexander Sorloth (Atletico Madrid)

Mikel Oyarzabal (Real Sociedad)

Mikel Oyarzabal is going to be one of the main men in the attacking front for Real Sociedad. He converted a crucial spot kick for his side and led them to a win. In 23 league games of the ongoing season, he has scored 10 goals and has three assists to his name. The 28-year-old will be looking to come up with a top performance here.
