Latest team news for Atletico Madrid vs Real Sociedad

Atletico will be without their key striker Julian Alvarez due to a suspension after accumulating too many yellow cards in the match against Alaves.

Rodrigo Riquelme is racing against time due to a muscle injury, but otherwise Atletico have a fairly full squad. Alexander Sorloth is likely to start in place of Alvarez in attack, while Conor Gallagher continues to retain his place on the right flank.

On Real Sociedad's side, Arsen Zakharyan is still recovering from a thigh injury. The availability of three other players, Orri Oskarsson, Igor Zubeldia, and Alvaro Odriozola, is also uncertain.

Coach Alguacil may make two changes to the starting lineup against Athletic, with Luka Sucic and Jon Aramburu expected to start.

Midfielder Martin Zubimendi – who has been heavily linked with a transfer recently – will start and may be playing his final games for Real Sociedad.

Latest football match prediction: Atletico Madrid vs Real Sociedad

Atletico Madrid are in a relatively safe position as the season enters its final stages, currently sitting 3rd in La Liga and 10 points ahead of 6th-placed Real Betis. This means that qualification for the 2025-26 Champions League is almost certainly within their grasp.

However, Diego Simeone's team failed to win any titles this season, falling behind in the La Liga title race and being eliminated from both the Champions League and the Copa del Rey. The club is now planning a busy summer transfer window.

Atletico will be aiming to get back to winning ways after a disappointing 0-0 draw against Alaves in the previous round. They are targeting their third consecutive home win.

This season, the capital team continues to maintain consistent form at home, having earned 40 points from 17 matches. Meanwhile, Real Sociedad – their upcoming opponent – ​​has only managed 19 points from 17 away games.

In their encounter at Wanda Metropolitano last season, Atletico beat Sociedad 2-1. However, the first leg this season between the two teams ended in a 1-1 draw.

Real Sociedad are having a disappointing season, currently sitting in 11th place. However, they still have a chance to qualify for European competition, being just one point behind Rayo Vallecano (8th – Conference League play-off spot) and three points behind Celta Vigo (7th – Europa League spot).

Coach Imanol Alguacil's team recently drew 0-0 with Athletic Bilbao in the Basque derby. However, they haven't won a La Liga match since the beginning of April and have only earned 2 points in their last 4 games.

Sociedad's final three matches are a tough challenge as they face Celta Vigo, Real Madrid, and Girona – all opponents with plenty of motivation. If they don't improve their form, they could fall to their lowest position since the 2018-19 season.

Coach Alguacil is expected to leave the club after this season, ending a period of great stability in Sociedad's recent history.
