Real Sociedad has had a challenging start to the season, winning only two of their first eight league matches. Despite their struggles, they are beginning to regain form, highlighted by an impressive 3-0 victory against Valencia last weekend. Goals from Takefusa Kubo and Orri Oskarsson were instrumental in that win, providing a much-needed boost for the team. However, their inconsistent performances have been concerning, with a recent defeat to Anderlecht in the UEFA Europa League serving as a reminder of the work still needed to reach their potential​.

On the other hand, Atlético Madrid remains unbeaten this season but has experienced frustration, with four draws out of their eight matches. The team invested heavily during the summer transfer window, bringing in key players like Robin Le Normand, Conor Gallagher, Julian Alvarez, and Alexander Sorloth. Despite this investment, they have struggled to convert strong performances into wins consistently​.
 Their recent 4-0 defeat to Benfica in the Champions League highlighted some vulnerabilities, especially in defense.
