    \n

    Real Sociedad head into their crucial La Liga clash against Atl\u00e9tico Madrid dealing with key defensive absences.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    Jon Mart\u00edn is officially ruled out of the fixture as he serves a suspension following his red card in the victory over Elche.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    The backline faces further strain as \u00c1lvaro Odriozola remains sidelined with knee and muscular injuries, limiting manager Pellegrino Matarazzo\u2019s defensive rotations.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    Additionally, midfielder Pablo Mar\u00edn remains a major doubt and will undergo a late fitness assessment closer to kickoff to determine if he can feature on the bench.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    On a positive note, star forward Mikel Oyarzabal<\/a> is fully fit and expected to spearhead the attack alongside Luka Su\u010di\u0107, providing a major offensive boost for the Basque side as they look to secure three points at the Anoeta.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    Atl\u00e9tico Madrid manager Diego Simeone faces selection dilemmas following a costly midweek Champions League match against Liverpool.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    Midfielder Pablo Barrios is a confirmed absentee after suffering a right leg myofascial injury during that European fixture, with reports indicating he will miss the next few games.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    In attack, summer signing Alexander S\u00f8rloth remains a major doubt due to an ongoing muscular issue that has limited his training availability.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    Despite these setbacks, the Rojiblancos boast tremendous squad depth ahead of their trip to San Sebasti\u00e1n. Juli\u00e1n Alvarez is tipped to retain his starting spot upfront, where he is expected to partner with Alex Baena.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    Form<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n

    Real Sociedad<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n
    \n

    Real Sociedad have experienced an inconsistent start to the season but are currently bouncing back. After suffering consecutive early defeats to Real Betis and Real Madrid, they stabilised their form by securing a win against Espanyol (2-1) and a hard-fought 0\u20130 draw against Celta Vigo. They carried that momentum into their most recent fixture, edging out Elche in a thrilling 3\u20132 away victory. With seven points from five games, they look to sustain this positive trajectory.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    Atletico Madrid<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n
    \n

    Atl\u00e9tico Madrid enter the match looking to halt a recent dip in momentum after starting the season unbeaten. Diego Simeone\u2019s squad collected seven points from their opening three La Liga matches, including a 3\u20131 win over Sevilla. However, their form has stumbled with two consecutive defeats: a heavy 3\u20130 domestic loss against Athletic Club followed by a 2\u20131 midweek setback to Liverpool in the Champions League.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    Predicted lineups<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n
    \n

    Real Sociedad:<\/strong> Marrero; Aramburu, Zubeldia, Sarr, Gomez; Ochieng, Herrera, Soler, Guedes; Sucic, Oyarzabal<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

    \n

    Atletico Madrid: <\/strong>Oblak; Llorente, Pubill, Hancko, Grimaldo; Simeone, Barrios, Hjulmand, Baena; Lee; Alvarez<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
