Sunday, August 3
2:00 AM UK Time
Sports Mole previews Sunday's La Liga clash between Atletico Madrid and Real Sociedad, including predictions, team news and possible lineups.
Atletico Madrid will be looking to continue their strong start to the La Liga season when they host Real Sociedad at the Wanda Metropolitano on Sunday evening.
Diego Simeone's side have won both of their opening games of the campaign, while Real Sociedad have drawn one and lost one.
Atletico Madrid will be without Joao Felix for the match, as the Portuguese forward is suspended. However, Simeone has plenty of other options to choose from, with the likes of Antoine Griezmann, Angel Correa and Matheus Cunha all available.
Real Sociedad, meanwhile, will be without David Silva, who is out with a hamstring injury. Mikel Oyarzabal is also a doubt for the match, as he is still recovering from a knee injury.
The two teams have a good record against each other in recent years, with Atletico Madrid winning four of the last five meetings.
However, Real Sociedad did win the last meeting between the two sides, a 2-1 victory at the Reale Arena in April.
Prediction: Atletico Madrid 2-1 Real Sociedad
