Atletico Madrid will be eyeing the top spot when they play host to Real Sociedad in La Liga this weekend. Three points separate the two sides, Atletico fourth with 17 points and Real Sociedad top of the table with 20 points. Both sides are coming from continental action. Atletico lost 3-2 at home to Liverpool and will be looking to return to domestic action with a win, which could take them top of the standings. They have a game in hand and they could use this to their advantage as well. In four of their last five matches, Atleti have scored at least two goals but they have just one clean sheet in the five games. Both teams have scored in three of their last five matches, and they’ve failed to score in one of the five. In the last 13 league matches, Atletico have lost just once and are unbeaten in 10 league matches at home. They have eight wins in the 10 home games. In the last six meetings with Real Sociedad, Atletico have won four.

Real Sociedad are coming from a 1-0 away win at Sturm Graz in the Europa League, that extended their unbeaten run to 11 matches. They have the most wins in the league, but have played a game more. This season, they’ve only lost once in 12 matches, their opening game against Barcelona, and they’ve failed to score in just one of the 12 matches. In their last five matches, they haven’t scored more than one goal, and heading here, they have six clean sheets in the last eight league matches. Both teams have scored in three of their last four away games though.
