Match Preview:
Real Sociedad have found it difficult during the current season, with 17 points from 17 matches leaving them in 16th spot in the division, two points outside of the relegation zone. The Basque outfit have only posted four league wins this term, and they have not been victorious in Spain's top flight since a 3-1 success over Osasuna on November 22.

Pellegrino Matarazzo was appointed Real Sociedad's new head coach before the winter break, and the 48-year-old, who has previously been in charge of Stuttgart and Hoffenheim, is preparing to take charge of his first match since his arrival. Real Sociedad have a record of three wins, one draw and four defeats from their eight home league matches this season, while Atletico have been inconsistent on their travels, only managing to post three victories from nine games.

Atletico entered the winter break in Spain off the back of a 3-0 success over Girona, and the Red and Whites have been victorious in their last four matches in all competitions. Simeone's side did lose two league games in December, though, and they are struggling to stay in touch with division leaders Barcelona.

Indeed, a record of 11 wins, four draws and three defeats from 18 matches has brought Atletico 37 points, which has left them in third spot in the table, five points behind second-placed Real Madrid and nine from the leaders Barcelona.

Match Prediction: Real Sociedad 0-1 Atletico Madrid
Atletico have not exactly been convincing away from home in La Liga this season, but it has been a tough campaign to date for Real Sociedad, and we are expecting the visitors to be good enough for all three points this weekend.
