Preview: Atlético Madrid vs Real Sociedad prediction, odds, where to watch, time | Copa del Rey 2025-26 Final

These sides are going to take on one another for the third time this season.

Atletico Madrid are all set to battle it out against Real Sociedad in what is going to be the 2025-26 Copa del Rey final. This high-stakes and intense outing between these clubs is scheduled to take place at the Estadio La Cartuja.

The Diego Simeone-led side have sealed a spot in the UEFA Champions League semifinals after taking down FC Barcelona 3-2 on aggregate. Los Colchoneros will not be looking to slow down. They have a chance to win their first title of the season and are surely going to use the momentum.

Atletico Madrid have capable players in the squad, but they must stay calm and composed on the field to secure the Spanish cup title. It is not going to be an easy outing for them, as their opponents are also on a decent run of form.

Txuri-Urdin are going to have a tough contest on their hands. They haven’t secured a win against Atleti in their last 10 attempts. Pellegrino Matarazzo have performed decently in their last two games, but here they will need to put in all their efforts.

Real Sociedad last lifted the Copa del Rey title in 2021 and will be looking to do it once again. They must avoid giving chances to Diego Simeone’s men and should not miss out on the scoring opportunities.
