Wednesday night saw Atletico Madrid suffer their heaviest defeat under Diego Simeone as they were beaten 4-0 by Borussia Dortmund in the Champions League.
That result followed an underwhelming performance at Villarreal in La Liga last weekend and Simeone will be looking for a response from his team on Saturday night when they host a Real Sociedad side who have won three of their five away games so far.
Latest odds
bet365 offer the hosts at 8/15 (1.53) and Atletico have won this fixture in each of the last five seasons.
La Real, however, won the most recent meeting between the sides 3-0 in San Sebastian back in April and are priced at 15/2 (8.50), with the draw at 13/5 (3.60).

Team news
Jose Maria Gimenez missed the game in Dortmund and could be a doubt for the visit of La Real.
The Basques have had a few injury problems in recent weeks; full-back Joseba Zaldua is definitely out, while winger Adnan Januzaj and centre-back Diego Llorente are pushing to return to the starting eleven.
Preview
Real Sociedad have not traditionally traveled well yet in their last five away matches they have won as many times (three) as in their previous 18 games on the road.
As well, La Real have netted in every away game they have played so far this term, and their nine goals on the road make them the second-highest scoring away team in the division.
Meanwhile, Atletico have kept just four clean sheets in their last ten matches in all competitions, and for a team who is used to producing extremely solid defensive displays, that record is unusually poor.
Tips and predictions
Opposing Atletico to keep a clean sheet can feel unnatural but both teams to score is surely over priced at 13/10 (2.30). This bet paid out in this fixture last season looks to offer some value for Saturday's clash.
Prices correct at time of writing. Please gamble responsibly.
