Team News

Real Sociedad
Atletico
  • Joseba Zaldua is a doubt with an adductor problem, while Andoni Gorosabel is struggling with an ankle knock, leaving Real Sociedad selection concerns at right-back.
  • Mikel Oyarzabal is still a doubt, but the hosts' star man could replace Ander Barrenetxea on the left wing and make a midweek start.
  • Willian Jose should replace Alexander Isak up front, while Martin Zubimendi should come into the midfield three.
  • Joao Felix has a bruised rib, marking him down as an injury doubt this week.
  • Diego Costa scored at the weekend and could come into the front two as a result, but Thomas Lemar is also in contention to do so.
  • Atletico Madrid are expected to return to a three-man defence against Real Sociedad, with Renan Lodi dripping to the bench as a result.

Prediction

  • A 2-1 defeat at the weekend to Levante spelled Real Sociedad's first back-to-back losses of the 2020/21 campaign so far.
  • The hosts are without a win in eight games across all competitions, last tasting victory on November 22nd.
  • Atletico have recovered well after suffering their first defeat of the season recently, beating Cardassar in the Copa del Rey and then comfortably seeing off newly promoted Elche.
