In one of the biggest matches of this weekend in La Liga, fourth-placed Atletico Madrid play hosts to fifth-placed Real Sociedad. This match at the Metropolitano Stadium on Sunday will see Atletico three points behind third-placed Girona with a game in hand while the visitors are one point behind Atletico. The hosts are coming off a thrilling 3-2 win over Feyenoord in the Champions League midweek match, where they had to come back from 2-1 down. That result extended their unbeaten run to five matches in all competitions, including four wins in a row. Crucially, they have won three La Liga matches in a row as they responded to a 3-0 defeat to Valencia in the month of September in style.

Sociedad are also coming off a big win in the midweek Champions League match, defeating Salzburg 2-0. That has extended their unbeaten run to five matches in all competitions, winning the last four in a row. Looking only at the league, Sociedad have won four of their last five La Liga matches, losing just once. This has helped them come back into the season after starting the league campaign with three straight draws. It is their away form that is still a worry though, as Sociedad look to up the ante. They have won, drawn and lost one game each in their away league campaign this season although they won the latest one at Valencia.
