Match Facts:
Atletico Madrid (3rd, 58 pts)
- Atleti's win over Malaga CF at the weekend was their fourth straight league victory. Diego Simeone called on the Rojiblancos faithful to help his team make it five in a row and strengthen their hold on third place: "We're going to need the Calderon crowd to be in full voice," the Argentine said at his pre-match press conference.
- The Madrilenians will draw extra motivation from the fact that they were defeated 2-0 in San Sebastian in November, so they will be eager to get their own back and prevent La Real doing the double over them.
Real Sociedad (5th, 49 pts)
- After failing to prevail on any of the last three matchdays, Eusebio Sacristan's side need to return to winning ways pronto as the race for European qualification intensifies. The last time they picked up three points was away to Real Betis a full month ago.
