🚨 Line-ups announced: Giuliano, Sorloth and Julián lead the attack | OneFootball

Real Sociedad and Atlético de Madrid will close out Matchday 18 of LaLiga this Sunday at the Reale Arena. It’s a clash of contrasts: while the hosts debut a new manager in an attempt to climb out of trouble, the visitors look to consolidate their place among the league’s elite.

The big news in San Sebastián is the debut of Pellegrino Matarazzo. The American coach takes charge of a Real Sociedad side sitting 16th and facing critical absences: Zubeldia and Gorrotxategi are suspended, and Yangel Herrera is doubtful. On the positive side, Mikel Oyarzabal returns and will lead the attack after overcoming his injury issues.

Simeone’s Atlético, fourth with 37 points, are enjoying a fine run after winning eight of their last ten matches. With Griezmann in top form and an attacking line that includes Julián Álvarez and Sørloth, Atleti aim to extend their unbeaten streak against the Basques to nine games. The solidity of the “Colchoneros” will put Matarazzo’s new system to the test.
