Atlético de Madrid

Atlético de Madrid returns to the Metropolitano to face matchday 27 of LaLiga with the afterglow —and momentum— of having secured their ticket on Tuesday for the Copa del Rey final, which will be played on April 18 at La Cartuja, precisely against a Real Sociedad they face again in a duel with a double meaning: league points today and an emotional preview of what could come in April. Simeone’s team arrives after two demanding matches (the cup qualification and the hard-fought victory in Oviedo) and with another major event already looming: next Tuesday, the Champions League round of 16 first leg against Tottenham.

With that tight schedule, the starting eleven is a puzzle. Oblak is expected to remain a fixture, but the rest depends on load management, with Pablo Barrios as the only doubt due to his hamstring injury. Simeone may repeat part of the block that competed in the cup, recover pieces from the Oviedo lineup, or mix: names like Nahuel Molina, Mendoza, Baena, or Sorloth have strong chances of starting, without ruling out alternatives such as Giménez, Le Normand, Lenglet, Almada, or González in a squad that invites rotation.

Real Sociedad

The clash this weekend between Atlético de Madrid and Real Sociedad comes at a very interesting moment for the txuri-urdin team. Since the arrival of Pellegrino Matarazzo on the bench, the team has taken a clear step forward in intensity, confidence, and results, chaining a very positive run that has restored the fans’ enthusiasm.

Real arrives at the Metropolitano with the team motivated and in one of its best moments of the season after recently sealing their qualification for the final of the Copa del Rey, an achievement that strengthens the dressing room’s confidence. 

For this matchday the coach may choose to make some rotations due to player fatigue. Yangel, Sucic, Aihen, Marín, Brais, Oskarsson, and Zakha could be surprises.
